My 2 sisters and myself hired him due to our mother’s declining health and intent to quickly sell her home and its contents. Since we all came from out of state, we relied upon his experience and expertise. When the day came for the start of the cleanup and preparation for the estate sale, I made it clear to the supervisor and lady worker to section off an area of boxed personal items which he did with yellow tape. That evening after my return from dinner, after a very heavy rain, to my horror those personal items were put out in the trash cans and bags outside. Among those items were irreplaceable pictures of my mother as a teenager and other boxed special items of my mother’s. I spent the better part of the night sifting through the trash trying to salvage and dry the items. I called Mr. Zeimer and left a message and he couldn’t be bothered to call me back for several days. When I called him again 2 days later, he would only blame me and not take any responsibility even when I told him that I notified the person in charge and the lady that was working on that room. I couldn’t believe his insensitivity to my loss!!! Additionally, I asked for compensation at any level and all he told me is that he wouldn’t make any money if he would do that! All he is concerned about is ultimately making ‘his’ money and doesn’t want to help the average person. In my opinion to be so insensitive about someone’s own personal treasures, even if is only pictures, is not the kind of person I would recommend to handle YOUR personal belongings and treasures.

Rude, unhelpful staff and overpriced items are a real turn-off. We visited the estate sale on Monarch yesterday and were treated to a number of surly little old biddies who dampened our buying experience. With the exception of the guy taking the money, no employees smiled or welcomed shoppers. When we asked a certain tiny gray-haired lady about an item in the bedroom, she didn’t know anything about the item and didn’t ask anyone else about it either, so we asked unfriendly clerk after clerk — no one knew anything, nor did they seem to care — they just wanted to write up tickets and get our money.
