They were very professional when we needed to sell the contents of my father's house. Alex kept informed us every step of the way and was honest as to what we should expect through the process. When it was over, they even helped us get rid of what remained nad left the house in broom-clean condition. I highly recommend them.

Alex and his company provided outstanding, professional service when I needed my grandmother's apartment vacated in a short time. He was communicative and clearly experienced in dealing with apartment building management and staff--not an easy task! I'm very impressed with his work.

I was so pleased with the great service. Alex knows what he is doing!! He was right about everything, he and his crew did a great job cleaning out my family home in Forest Hills, NY. Everything was done quickly and efficiently, and the entire house was left tidy for the new owners. I would use Certified Estate Specialists again in a heartbeat.

Certified Estate Specialists is a great company. The owner, Alex, is very trustworthy and reliable. He told me exactly what I could expect to receive for my grandmother’s estate, and he was right on target. Alex told me in the beginning not to throw anything away, even if I didn't think it was valuable and he was right. Of course, not everything sold and he let me know that was going to happen as well. But he gave me an estimate for a clean out and let me know that I was under no obligation to use him. I got several other estimates as well and Certified Estate Specialists was well below the going rate. I was hesitant at first because the rates seemed to be low, but I am so glad that I used this company. Not only was everything taken out of the house, but the rooms were left spotless and ready for the new owners. I would highly recommend Certified Estate Specialists to anyone who would need this type of service.
