Tender Transitions

Thank you, Carol, for your professionalism and care. Managing and conducting the sale for our aunt’s many year collection was a smooth and seamless process. Everything was so neat and organized both at the sale and after the sale. I highly recommend Tender Transitions… made a terrible job into a pleasant experience… would definitely use them again.

Carol did a great job with our sale and move. She was very courteous and thoughtful. We will always recommend tender transitions to those downsizing and handling estate sales.

My then 90 year old mother hired Tender Transitions to do an estate sale a little more than a year ago. They did a thorough and honest job. They did every thing they said they would do. I hired another company a few months later, Auctions Southwest, and my experience was very bad. I thought it was only appropriate to give Tender Transitions, an honest company, a positive review. A bad review can be long and detailed. When a service provider simply does what they said they would do, there’s not so much to write. But first and foremost, I felt they had my mother’s interests at heart. Nuf said.

I am a single mom that works full time. I had to move quickly with a full plate and tender transitions put it all together for me. I immediately felt less stressed. Everyone was very professional and made me feel at ease. They packed up my entire house faster than I ever thought possible and moved me with no problem. Jamie is very professional and so were the movers they used. Jamie even helped me unpack and think through how I should arrange my furniture. It was a great experience and I will use them every time I move from now on. I wish I had found them sooner!

I used Tender Transitions recently and completely recommend them for estate sales! I am in the Heights area, but believe they work anywhere in Houston. They are professional, very knowledgeable, and extremely kind. I felt at ease with them in charge.

I hired Susan on the recommendation of a consultant who specializes in senior relocation. My parents were moving from their home of 40 years, and I needed someone local to handle the sale of the remaining furnishings (I live in Los Angeles). Susan did a great job of publicizing the sale on a popular «estate sale» web site (photos, descriptions, etc.), and the sale itself went well. At the end, she arranged for the remaining items to be picked up by a charity and had the house cleaned very thoroughly. Within a week she delivered the proceeds to my parents, along with an accounting for the items sold and donated. I’m aware this review is inconsistent with some other on this site, which is why I wanted to post it. Seems that too often only the angry clients with bad experiences write reviews. Mine was very good!

Stay Away from Tender Transitions. We hired them for an estate sale and they did a terrible job. I was recommended to them through my church because they were a Christian company. I wish I had stay away and gone with another company.
First, they promised they would sort everything in the house and give me an opportunity to go through everything before putting it on sale. They didn’t do this, thus they sold many items that I did not want them to sell.
2. They did a «preview» sale without telling me, thus were selling things a week before it was posted (and before I had given them approval to do).
3. They sold things at a very low price to their friends. For example, someone I know purchased my $ 6000 brand new sofa for $ 100 (not $ 1000, $ 100!). In their preview sale to friends they marked things very low. Another person I know bought my $ 5000 brand new area rug for $ 25.00).
4. Once the sale was over they left the house in a mess and I had to pay $ 1500 to 800-​got-​junk to haul everything away (they guaranteed that they would either throw away, donate, or sell EVERYTHING and leave the house clean).
5. They threw away private and confidential papers in the dumpster, which I later found laying in my front yard (such as my social security card, old tax documents, credit card statements)
6. They never provided an accounting of what they sold and for how much. My household items were worth a lot more than what I ended up getting, which was very little.
Once again, from personal experience I recommend that you stay away from this company!
