About Sophia's Estate Sales
I understand that having an estate sale comes at stressful time in people's lives and I try to make this process as smooth as possible. I carefully evaluate your contents and will send items to where the profit can be maximized, whether that be to auction, placed in the estate sale or placed with an antique dealer.
I only take on one sale at a time so I can give my clients the best service.

Sophia did an amazing job! My aunt and grandmother were hoarders. Their house was a wreck but full of great clothes. Sophia made sense of it all, actually made look nice and then sold almost everything. This had been a really upsetting situation for our family and Sophia made it so much easier.Michael D.
Helpful, nice people in every room.Kathy K.
Sophie: I can’t thank you enough for your expertise, patience and counsel during our family’s latest chapter. Staging an estate sale, especially for a parent still living, was even more emotionally wrenching than I imagined. We couldn’t have managed without you. Thanks also to your awesome team: Brad, Lyletta and Scott!Vickie
Thanks so much, Sophia! So glad we chose to work with you.Cathy F.
We've moved out now and are in a hotel until our move-in next Thursday. So excited--and we couldn't have done it without you!!
They made the day enjoyable. Pleasant, kind people and it was appreciated.Jackie H.
Sophia did an amazing job! I wish I had met her sooner!Laurie P.
Sophia's Room did an AWESOME job at our estate sale. She helped us clear out my mothers house, lived in 40 years, and was very successful. She was great from start to finish. Thank you for your hard work and dedication.Riye H-N.
