Dear Cathye and Wayne,
You did a fantastic job today! I loved that sale very much and found many items
with extra parts in some boxes and missing parts in others. It took concentration.
Anyway, I really appreciate all the World’s Fair stuff, the vintage lighters,
I am really glad that your company is still out there!!!
See you soon, I imagine, and thank you so much again, guys!
Hugs,
Nena
I already deposited the check (remotely) into our own account. Thanks!

We sold my mom’s house finally and it was like a huge burden was lifted. I’m so grateful to you and
all the “outsiders” who stepped in and helped my brother and me get through this difficult and painful period.

The house sold in two days for the asking price. Needless to say I am very happy. I appreciate the
work you did to make it happen. You saved me a lot of work and anxiety in getting rid of all the “stuff”
we left in the house. Thanks again for all of your work. I am pleased with the results you obtained
and you relieved me of the anxiety of getting rid of everything.

From the first phone conversation to the first in-person meeting and all the way through
post-sale activities, I have been delighted with the service and impressed with the expertise
of the Hannah’s Attic team. Cathye is a thoughtful, honest and compassionate
communicator and demonstrated the highest level of integrity and commitment
throughout the process, ensuring a wonderful result for our family. She was
gracious and accommodating with all of our questions, and I recommend her
without reservation to anyone in need of this service.

Dear Cathye and Wayne,
Thank you very much for the wonderful estate sale last weekend. Loved everything I bought,
as usual, and Wayne, my favorite item, one you encouraged me to get, is the two-inch
long brass beetle from India. I liked it at the sale (along with the brass lizards and cast
iron grasshopper that I got), but now that I have really examined the workmanship,
the beetle is my favorite! You are a good salesman — honest, kind, and encouraging.
Cathye, I think I told you that my daughter collects vintage soap dishes,
which we have arranged on the wall of her apartment bathroom, and she
totally loved the tiny East Indian soap/butter dish.
All in all, great job, guys, and thank you so very much again.
Warmly,
Nena

Shout out to Hannah’s Attic, Cathye and team. From the first phone call Cathye has been amazing.
It has been one week since our estate sale and the house is clear of everything and clean!!

Dear Cathye,
We wanted to thank you for handling our sale!
We found the idea overwhelming, but you with your
professionalism and realistic approach made it flow like a river with no rocks!
You took 60+ years of treasures antiques, jewelry, china,
silver and realized three times the amount we had anticipated
with over 1000 customers! Just amazing and a very sincere thank
you to you and your very able staff.

Cathye from Hannah’s Attic is top notch! She recently completed the estate sale
at my mother’s house and I couldn’t have been more pleased by the whole
experience. The entire process was explained thoroughly, executed smoothly
and completed very timely with close-out paperwork. She was fast and
furious in her work, and very communicative. But for me, the most
important part of my experience was how kind and caring Cathye
was during such a difficult transition of losing a loved one. I can’t
thank her enough for her gentle and empathetic nature.
With gratitude, Kim.

Hi Cathye, I did receive the check and was very pleased! You’ve been a pleasure to work

Received your report and check; appreciated both of them.
John did his work the next day and Tim Conway will have
someone do a final cleanout/up.
I so appreciated your professional manner and competence

Being out-of-state I needed someone I could entirely trust.
You succeeded!
Many thanks.

A couple years after my dad died, my mom suddenly decided to move into a senior’s
apartment. Fortunately, the people at the apartment recommended Hannah’s Attic to
her to run an estate sale. I contacted Cathye at Hannah’s and we began the process
of selling over 50 years’ worth of accumulation. I was impressed with the
efficiency and professionalism of Cathye and her crew. After taking what
the family wanted out of the house, Hannah’s Attic sold, donated, recycled
and otherwise took care of every item in the house in less than a week. My
family was left with a clean and vacant house. Cathye was responsive to all of
my communications and if I wanted anything done that was different than
what they normally did, she easily adapted. She was also extremely polite to my
mom who had a tendency to revisit the home and change her mind on what went
into the estate sale and what did not. Not only did my mom make money, our family
avoided the painstaking process of clearing out the house. I highly recommend
this business.

We were so pleased with the results and so happy we found you. We also

Cathye and crew,
Our check and inventory arrived today. I just wanted to tell you how pleased
we are with your work–from our first meeting to our final conversation.
I appreciated your honesty, concern, and professional advice to us about what we could do to
help the sale be a success. We did what you suggested (getting rid of large items
that would not sell, making room for tables) and the result was fabulous.
Friends of ours went to the sale and came away feeling like
my mother-in-law’s items were treated respectfully and they also
felt they were treated well as customers. Thanks for making what
seemed like an enormous task turn into a pleasant and fruitful endeavor.
I appreciated the continual communication and thoughtfulness f
rom you. I would definitely recommend your company to others
and enlist your help again if needed.
I am very grateful you were there to help. Your attractive website
is what caught my eye in the beginning. Your thorough and hard
work is what made me happy right to the end.
Sincerely,
Judy Wenger

I could not be happier with the results! From our first meeting to the receipt of the check…i

The experience with Hannah’s Attic was superb. They did outstanding work preparing the site,
displaying the items, managing the sale, and cleaning up. I would have no hesitation

************************************************************************
Cathey,
I’m not very good at putting together words but I’ll do what I can, all my life
I’ve been an equipment and hardware person not a people person.
There must be a way I can give you a bonus.
I feel you and your crew did a lot of work to prepare and manage the sale.
Please increase your cut of all the proceeds to 50%. Thank you.

You all are fantastic; having never moved ever, did not know how this

Sorry for the delay in acknowledgement.

On behalf of my family, I would like to thank you for your enthusiasm, kindness and professionalism
when dealing with our parent’s estate. This was a very emotional, hard process for us siblings to let go of
our parents treasures accumulated over 65 years of marriage.
Not only did you provide valuable guidance, you and your team handled the preparation, sale and
clean-up with such respect and made this difficult process better for all involved. Thank you so
much and we are very thankful for you and your team.

definitely recommend your services and hopefully you’ve gained some new clients with our sale. We believe the house is sold….
papers signed just waiting for inspection and closing. Mom was OK seeing the house empty and we were both relieved
beyond words because this has been a long, difficult and tedious process. I’m going over on Thurs and Fri to help her get
the boxes unpacked (all over her floor) and get a bit more organized. Our very best to you and your upcoming sales.

****************************************************************************************************
Cathye,
Thank you for all your hard work! You saved my sister and me from an overwhelming, heart-wrenching task, and you
did it with such professionalism and care. My immense gratitude to you and your staff for your conscientiousness,
follow-through and commitment.
If any of my family or friends wish to sell a particular piece in one of your upcoming estate sales, may we include a
particular item? It would not be for a while, but it’s nice to know if we can utilize your expertise.
Again, thank you so much for everything. Your business is an impressive one and fills a much-needed requirement.
With warmest regards,
Gretchen
***************************************************************************************************
Hannah’s Attic was prompt, thoughtful and thorough in providing cleanout services for my mother’s apartment at Aljoya.
You responded quickly, provided clear advice on what property was suitable for sale or auction and what property should be donated
You quoted a firm, fair price, provided an expert crew, and a timely cleanout of the apartment, down to the last scrap of paper.
I’d particularly recommend Hannah’s Attic when an on-site estate sale is not possible; there are lots of people
willing to run an estate sale for you, but not many who can provide comprehensive services to an estate when
an on-site sale is not possible.

Dear Cathye,
We received the check for auction proceeds and were (once again) impressed with your work and professionalism:
you know extremely well what you’re doing. We have already shared your card with others – the highest

************************************************************************************************
Cathye and Crew- Thank you SO VERY MUCH for doing an amazing job at my folks’ house.
The task of emptying the family home, after 53 years was overwhelming for me. Your company was so helpful,
professional, courteous and thorough! Hannah’ Attic was the perfect estate sale company to help me
on this part of the journey. I can’t thank you enough and will recommend you highly! Nice to reconnect with my childhood
friend as well, who understands that there were NO BREYER HORSES included in sale! Thanks again. K.T.
************************************************************************************************************************
I recently used the services of Hannah’s Attic for my estate sale.
I had more than 50 years of belongings—a combination of mid-level value and everyday items—that I needed to
sort, categorize and price.
It was my family’s lifetime of possessions, and the job was daunting, exhausting, and emotional. Fortunately, I found Hannah’s Attic.
I met with owner Cathye Carnes who was equally compassionate and efficient. She explained her services and then took charge.
What had taken me months to weed through (and barely scratch the surface) took her team just a few days to expertly tackle and accomplish.
The sale was managed with professional efficiency and we grossed three times the amount we anticipated.
Afterward, the swift, expert cleanout of unsold items was another level of service for which I was so grateful.
For anyone facing the overwhelming but necessary task of emptying a house of beloved property, I highly recommend the
services of Hannah’s Attic. J.L.
************************************************************************************************************
Thank you so much for all your company did!! I was very glad we hired Hannah’s Attic. We couldn’t be happier. From start

I wanted to thank you and say that I am very impressed! I will instruct all our clients to never throw anything out again! D.L.

Thank you my friend!

I would not hesitate to recommend Cathye and her team at Hannah’s Attic. We were not a particularly large and lucrative sale.
In fact, I was a bit dejected after getting turned down by another estate sale company that made me feel like my stuff was worthless.
Cathye stepped in with confidence that she could get the job done and would take care of me in a tough situation.
This service was invaluable and it made a high stress situation so much easier. She communicated all throughout the process
and held a very successful sale given what she had to work with. The house was cleaned out as promised for a very reasonable fee.
I’m so grateful for Hannah’s Attic. Thank you so much!

Moving can be a very stressful experience, especially when the need to downsize is a factor. I hired Hannah’s Attic to help me
and it has been a wonderful experience!! They are so kind and support of and work so hard… I was amazed with them, and
all they did, and the tons of people that came to the Estate Sale and bought.. What a wonderful experience this whole journey
has been. Thank you Cathye and your crew!!!!

**************************************************************************************************************
I truly appreciate the wonderful service that you and your staff provided for the recent estate sale at our home in Lake Forest
Park. I am sure you know how difficult a move like ours was–where we moved from our long time residence and had to leave
many of our possessions behind. I was so very pleased with the way the sale was set up. Our sale items looked card for–
the house did not look as though it belonged to old people who couldn’t cope anymore. I was not embarrassed to have
the neighbors come and shop. I have heard from several neighbors who visited the sale that your staff was so pleasant
and helpful and they were impressed that the number of shoppers in the house was limited. I appreciate that as well.
Another neighbor reported that he appreciated the fact that no cars were parked so his access to his garage was blocked.
It is a great relief to have the house empty and ready for the next owners and I have already given your name to some
others who are contemplating a move such as ours. Thank you for making a difficult transition much easier than I
thought it would be. Sincerely. CO

“Hannah’s Attic handled an unusual situation for me with professionalism and care. I have a family member who collected/hoarded a variety of unique and/or valuable items for many years. After a serious intervention and clean out of the family member’s home – the items – literally hundreds of boxes of 1000s of unsorted items – went to a 10×10 storage locker where they sat for several years. When I finally thought I could begin tackling the boxes, Cathye and Wayne met us at the storage locker, advised us how to begin, helped sort through some of the items, and even brought in an expert to appraise some of the items. Some items went to auction, some were sold in other Hannah’s Attic estate sales, some in a garage sale type environment, and some were donated to a charitable organization who could actually utilize some of the unique items.
This process took several months rather than the usual weekend “Estate Sale”. Cathye and Wayne did everything possible sell the items and maximize the profit for my family member. They took on a client project that was out of their “norm” and one that was likely much more work for them than their usual business model. I highly recommend Hannah’s Attic. They are honest, professional, knowledgeable, and really NICE people. E.R.”
******************************************************************************************************
Cathye and her crew, especially Wayne, did a fantastic job and I would highly recommend them to anybody needing estate sale services. #Doug@windermere
********************************************************************************************************
Hannah’s Attic not only made the process so very easy but really saved us emotionally and physically. All of our past treasures were placed in the best of hands and we feel great about dissolving 55 years of stuff that we had no clue of what to do with. We walked away with money in our pockets and every cupboard and floor swept out. What a treat. A definite necessity for anyone needing to move forward with no regrets …and no hassle.

Thank you so much!!

Cathye-Thank you so much for all your hard work in getting the estate sale done. I never thought it would ever be cleaned out!! Thanks also for making a very difficult time in our lives just a little bit easier. Everyone did such a great job,( you, Wayne, Brian, Joannie, and anyone else who helped). You managed to clear out a house in a week that we thought would take many years! Thanks again and we will recommend you to anybody we know that needs the same kind of professional help. Fred and Donna
We want to thank Cathye Carnes of Hannah’s Attic for the amazing job she and her team accomplished at our Mercer Island home recently. After the movers picked up the items we wanted at our new and downsized home, Cathye’s crew spent several days organizing, pricing and displaying our remaining items, getting ready for the sale. She does all of the advertising and publicity and they work in an extremely professional, efficient and caring manner. They were aware of our neighbor’s needs and concerns, including parking issues and traffic control. Immediately after the sale, she paid us in cash, complete with an itemization, of all items sold.
An extremely important part of the service includes:
1. Remaining items are removed from the home.
2. Some items go to auction for which we will receive a percentage.
3. Some items go to the charity service of our choice.
4. The rest is hauled to the dump.
The house is then broom cleaned/vacuumed, totally empty and ready for the new owners to move in.
We highly recommend Hannah’s Attic for estate sale liquidation services. They have made our move so much easier and eliminated all of the pressures and time- consuming details of finalizing those last days in our home.
Thank you Cathye, and to all of your wonderful team as well,
Penny and Dennis, Mercer Island, Washington

The Hannah’s Attic crew were great to work with. It’s clear they know their industry and the Puget Sound market. Most importantly, they obviously enjoy their work and are respectful of the fact that they are coming into your house, or your family’s residence, to sell items that once made a house a home. They treat you and your property with the same respect they would their own family. They are at once personable, very pleasant, straightforward, concise and professional. I enthusiastically recommend them (including Frodo the Guard Dog!)
The sale – we are more than happy about the sale that you conducted for us. We sure couldn’t have done it ourselves and especially not that successfully. I’m sure you won’t mind if I give your contact info out to some of Mary’s friends if they ask, they are all getting up there in years. I’m sure glad that Debbie got us together.
Thanks again

Cathye and Wayne are highly professional and go out of their way to accommodate their customers. They took great care in helping us make certain that only the items intended for sale were sold. This put our minds at ease so that we needn’t worry that items that had sentimental value didn’t get into the mix. The net “profit” far exceeded our expectations, which demonstrates their level of expertise in understanding the market. Furthermore, when the time came to have the house completely cleared so that we could move toward the upgrading phase, I was up against a deadline. Despite the fact that this was the week of Thanksgiving, Cathye and Wayne made time to return to the house and arrange for a colleague to take care of the final clearing. The house was beautifully cleared the day after Thanksgiving! They truly went that extra mile for us. We would happily recommend Hannah’s Attic in the future to friends. Thank you, Cathye and Wayne.

Thanks so much for the professional job you and Wayne did in divulging my mom’s home of all her years of “collective stuff”. I’m pleased to refer any other baby boomers in similar straits to you and know they will appreciate your care and concern, as well as your knowledge. Roxanne

Dear Hannah’s Attic,
I just wanted to say thank you again for all the time and hard work you put into preparing for, and executing my estate sale. It was a very stressful and labor intensive project that I would not have been able to do without you and your crew. You made the experience a positive one for me and my family and we are very pleased with the outcome. The profits were way beyond our expectations. I would happily recommend your services to my friends and associates.
Thank you,

Just want to say thanks to Cathye, Wayne and crew for making our Estate sale so great. It is nice to deal with people who are so good at what they do and also demonstrate unwavering integrity. Thanks so much! You not only sell treasures, you ARE treasures!

Hi Cathye and Wayne,
You guys did a great job and we really appreciated all of the work that went into the sale. Your approach to the sale enabled us to get rid of a lot of things.
I also wanted to let you know that Joni and Brian did a nice job of clearing out the house afterwards. They were communicative with me when they needed clarification. They were easy to deal with and left the house clean. She even vacuumed the entire upstairs. I would recommend them to anyone who needs these kinds of services.
Thanks again.

I can’t thank you enough for everything you did for us and how greatly we appreciate the effective and sensitive way you did it all. Even as organized by nature as I am, I was completely overwhelmed at the mere thought of what lied ahead in downsizing from 3,000 to 1,300 square feet. With both sets of our parents deceased, we had a lot of stuff and a lot of it had tremendous sentimental value. I knew this daunting project was something I needed help with in order to get it done and get it done on time. Fortunately, I know my limitations and knew this job required a professional. I had heard from several people what an amazing job Cathye Carnes and her team at Hannah’s Attic does with estate sales. After meeting Cathye, it was clear to me I could trust her years of expertise to handle each and every detail of our sale from start to finish. Cathye truly understands how profoundly stressful and emotional the entire process is and provides every service that’s needed to assure it all goes as smoothly as possible, including a team of individuals who haul off what’s left from the sale to distribute to various charity organizations. I can’t thank Hannah’s Attic enough for knowing exactly what to do and how to do it — all along making us feel very well taken care of in a compassionate and professional manner, while respectfully handling our feelings as well as our possessions. Bless you!

Wayne did with her estate/house sale. We were in a time crunch, and you
were able to really work with a compressed schedule – being able to meet
with us the day after we contacted you, scheduling the sale within 3 weeks,
and then only having two days to do all your pricing and prep. You guys
really pulled out all the stops for us. I also appreciate your ‘can do’
attitude given the difficult location of my mother’s house and the great
turnout which speaks to the large following you’ve built up over Facebook
and other places. Receiving the sale proceeds and a detailed inventory at
10:00 am the day after the sale ended speaks to what a great process you’ve
set up to manage the sale. We won’t hesitate to recommend you to anyone
else looking to downsize or move. Thanks again!

I would highly recommend Cathye and Hannah’s Attic for anyone needing to put on an estate sale as well as one trying to deal with a hoarding situation and a need for a large estate sale – no job is too big or small for her and we are extremely grateful for all the hard work she has done.
Sincerely,

Hello Cathy.How are you doing? Did you suffer any problems because of the horrible rain on Monday?I want to thank you again for the successful estate sale. I’m especially grateful because water came into the basement of the house on Monday and many things would have been ruined. That would have been terribly sad.Drop me a note and tell me what you are doing. I’d love to stay in touch.Thanks again,Margot

Cathye and Wayne – thank you so much! Our sale this weekend was over-the-top successful, thanks to your experience and professionalism.

Again, thank you – we’ll be happy to tell our… friends and family about your services. And thank you to Joni – you did a great job of clean up afterwards – what a great service you all provide! Thanks a million! Cheryl and Dee
