Peerless Estate Sales

I’ve been buying/​selling vintage for awhile now and I attend multiple estate sales in/​around PDX weekly. Some companies are better than others and the reasons for that vary. I cannot speak to their service from the standpoint of hiring them to clear out an estate but, as a regular estate sale shopper it’s obvious that Peerless ES has their ducks in a row. These folks are PROS all the way. They’re organized, well-​staffed, polite, and they treat their shoppers with respect. The prices can be on the high side for some items but they always run a quality sale, and typically the neighborhoods they sell in can justify that higher pricing. They also offer discounts on the last day, have been open to giving us some very good deals, and we will always attend a Peerless sale to shop for our own home even when we don’t buy items to resell.
Good to know: On non-​sale days find their overflow from estate sales (at great prices) in their space at the Monticello Antique Marketplace in SE Portland.

Peerless was amazing! We were liquidating a 40-​yeaer residency in our family home. And we were on a tight schedule.
They did exactly what they said — came in, arranged everything for sale, executed the sale, and left the place clean as a whistle. When I came for the pre-​sale preview, I was astonished at how beautifully everything was set up and how cleverly they packaged some of the smaller items. During the sale, I stopped by for a peek, and was impressed with the number of salespeople monitoring the sale and assisting customers.
Some things were pulled for online selling. My Barbie empire fetched good prices and turned out to be the most profitable category of our sale!
We chose the longest payout to earn the lowest commissions. It was a wonderful surprise when that check arrived — for more than I ever imagined. Their great Better Business Bureau rating made Peerless an easy choice, but choosing them was the smartest decsion I could make.

It may be hard at first to reach Peerless for a consultation, but that’s because they’re working so hard for their existing clients! The dedication, professionalism, patience, and sensitivity they display are rare among companies today. I had full confidence coordinating with them from across the country and they made sure to keep me updated. They went out of their way to photograph things since I couldn’t be there for the pre-​sale review and when I discovered a few small heirlooms I had left behind, they were quick to pull them from the sale and FedEx them to me here in DC. Truly, they’ve been wonderful.
