TESTIMONIALS

My brothers and I knew nothing about estate sales and were lucky in that we were referred to Sydney B Moore from good friend, Mike Bello of Buy-and-Sell Realty. Fawn Campbell of Sydney B Moore was not only friendly and easy to work with but equally professional and detailed with answering all our questions. Clearing out a loved one’s home of belongings is not only hard physical work, but an emotional battle as well. The service that Fawn and her company provide is bar none worth every penny..! They were able to stage our mother’s entire home contents for “selling” in a matter of 1 day! Everything was well priced and on display. She advertised the sale for us using a variety of resources and impressed me with posted signs (the day of the sale) – a mile out.
We were competing against a handful of garage sales leading to the estate sale, which did not seem to matter. Fawn brought the people..! Her helpers Tim and Steve were huge assets as well – very careful, conscientious and friendly with myself and customers. Items that didn’t sell – were of no concern to us either. Fawn has great contacts and was able to call up other key people interested in buying and/or removing anything that didn’t sell for us.
At the end of the process – Fawn left us with an empty house ready for selling – in a matter of just 3 work days on their part – AMAZING and just as promised. Everything was handled with great care and concern – not only the contents – but the property as well.
Lastly there were no hidden costs. Fawn was very upfront about what to expect and what all was included (ie. Pictures, Advertising, clean-out, etc.). I would highly recommend this company to everyone in need of liquidating their space. Fawn and her family’s company will make it happen for you.
Thanks again!

I worked with Fawn the owner of Sydney B Moore Estate Sales for my Moms Estate Sale in Upper St. Clair. Fawn was very organized, professional and worked hard to make it successful. She made things easy for our family and her crew was very respectful of my moms house. I would recommend her company & service for your Estate Sale.

Losing a parent is so very hard and being faced with clearing their home, the home you grew up in, can be daunting. When my mom passed away, I spent months trying to clear her house but every visit ended in me accomplishing nothing, unable to take her home apart. My realtor suggested an estate sale and recommended Sydney B. Moore Estate Sales. I am so glad I took her advise and contacted them. Fawn was wonderful from our first meeting. She was supportive and explained the process of the sell throughly. The sale was handled efficiently and with dignity. I always felt the team was respectful to my mom’s home and to me. I would strongly recommend their services. Fawn and her crew took an other wise traumatic experience and turned it into something positive!

My family had the pleasure of working with Fawn recently on an estate sale of our family home. Fawn is very organized, prompt and dependable. Her team was excellent in prepping the contents for a nice display and running the sale. Highly recommend Fawn’s company if you need her service.
Denise G.

Fawn and her team lifted a heavy burden. I hired Fawn’s company to hold an estate sale to clear out the family home of 45 years, a responsibility that fell on my shoulders soon after my mother’s passing. However, I live out of state and could not have managed on my own. Fawn worked to schedule the sale quickly, which was important because I also needed to get the house on the market. Communication was frequent and responsive. She was also willing to coordinate with my real estate agent on the timing, which was a huge help. Over a few days, Fawn and her crew accomplished in a few days what would have taken me many weeks to do.
Denise F.

During a difficult time, it was a pleasure to work with Fawn and her crew. They were professional, orderly, organized and clean. Most importantly they were sensitive to what we were going through – liquidating our childhood and parents home of 45 years. We appreciate the great job they did and would recommend them in a heartbeat. 
Thank you Fawn and staff for a job well done!

Are you looking for a competent, enthusiastic Estate Sales person to help you negotiate the emptying of a house? Look no further than, Fawn Moore Campbell, a Partner/Sale Coordinator of Sydney B.
Moore Estate Sales!
Being completely new to this process of having an Estate Sale, I was frankly overwhelmed at the thoughts of having to deal with my father’s house in Pittsburgh, when I live in New England! Fawn not only reassured me, but also made it sound very easy! She sale was scheduled for Dec 19th. In the meantime, between November 26 & Dec 19, Fawn and her crew took charge. They first, went to my dad’s house, and organized the contents, including: furniture, books, clothes, appliances, tools, car, gas grill, lawn and garden equipment, sports equipment, paper goods, linens, etc. She then proceeded to price the items, and to prepare advertisements for both the newspapers and social media sites. A sign, advertising the sale was also prominently displayed on the property. Next, Fawn arranged for Temporary Power of Attorney, in order to be able to bring the car in for inspection and prepare it for sale. 
During the whole process, Fawn was in constant communication with me – asking questions, clarifying, and explaining. Prior to the day of the sale, all the items were organized, and staged throughout the house on tables, shelves or arranged in groups.On the morning of the sale, Fawn’s crew arrived at the crack of dawn, for the final set up. Doors opened at 7:30 am sharp, with a very organized process underway. At 3:00, the sale terminated and the remaining inventory was taken. The items that remained could be donated, given away, kept, or trashed. Fawn’s crew began the cleanup process, which included goodwill runs, and organizing for trash collection!
Fawn’s fee for all of this was beyond reasonable! She is trusting, caring and fair. I could not have visualized facing this task without the expertise of Fawn Campbell! An emotional, overwhelming process was managed and made easy with Fawn’s pleasant, knowledgeable expertise! I am hoping she opens a branch of her business in New England!
Thank you, to Fawn and her crew!

I am pleased to recommend the services of Sydney B. Moore Estate Sales. We worked with Fawn Campbell who organized the estate sale at our late father’s house with great energy and enthusiasm. The sale was a success due to the timely and efficient manner in which it was conducted.

Dear Fawn,
I can’t thank you enough for all you did for us. Dealing with the sudden passing of my brother just months after my father, you made an almost unbearable situation, bearable. Due to circumstances, breaking up his house fell to my mother and me. There was no way she and I could have done it, even with all the help we were being offered.
As you remember, it was not a small house…I couldn’t fathom how it would all come about. But you were so helpful with how you walked me through the process. I came in the night before the sale and was shocked at how well everything was displayed. Even more shocked when I came back the next night to a completely clean and empty house. I’m sure my brother would have been thrilled with the way you and your staff handled his things. I know we certainly were. Again thank you, you were a blessing at a very difficult time.
Please feel free to use me as a reference any time.

We recently used the services of Sydney B Moore Estate Sales and we couldn’t be happier with our choice! Fawn was excellent. She is so organized and caring. When you have an estate sale, it can be a very emotional experience, and Fawn is very aware of that. She made something that can be very hard, so much easier. The sale was very organized and the clean-up was great! She has a great crew with her. Everyone was so helpful and friendly and really did a great job. Fawn was recommended to us by one of her clients, and I will certainly recommend her and her crew to my friends and family.
Thanks again Fawn for a wonderful job!!
Toni A.

Dear Fawn,
You are remarkable! Your entire team made an sad situation, bearable. Your detailed attention to setting up, pricing, arranging and clean-out was a gift! You are one in a million and I am happy to recommend Sydney B. Moore estate sales to anyone. Please know that you were hand picked by my brother prior to his death. Thank you for your caring ways and handling his possessions as if they were yours.
Sincerely,

Nancy A.

Hi Fawn,
I just wanted to say thank you again for nice job. My mom and I were back in Pittsburgh this past weekend to see the house one last time and seeing all that was done to empty the house was quite a feat.
You and your team did everything that you said you would and we appreciate it.
Please take care.

When I first contacted Fawn, I was struggling with the loss of my mother and overwhelmed by the logistics of liquidating her apartment in a short time. Reading the testimonials on your website convinced me to contact you, and from my first conversation with Fawn, it was clear that I’d made the right call. Now I would like to add my voice to those testimonials, because my sister and I are overwhelmed by the support, kindness and incredible service we received from you.
Our little sale was treated with as much respect as a large estate, and everyone involved made us feel that the success of the sale was as important to you as it was to us. Carol, Jim and the whole crew went the extra mile – with everything from muffins to help taking a precious item of furniture to our car. We are now free to cherish our mother’s memory without the stress of figuring out what to do with her
belongings and her apartment. We have you to thank for that. You provide an invaluable service, and we are very, very grateful.

Fawn- I wanted to thank you for doing such a great job with my father’s estate sale. The outcome was as you had estimated. Everything was done in a timely manner and with respect for my father. The clean out crew did a great job, and saved me many hours of work and from making multiple trips to the donation center. I contrast this with the adventures my wife had while attempting to handle her mother’s estate on her own. She spent numerous hours tagging and organizing the goods, held 2 separate sales which tied her up for nearly 2 full Saturdays, not to mention the advertising costs, and was still left with nearly half of the goods. She then hired a truck at a cost of $700 to take some larger items to a consignment shop; I hope to live long enough to see some money from them! I am so thankful I used your services and did not go that route. I especially appreciate the fact you were willing to accommodate me on short notice; this was especially impressive in light of the fact that this was a relatively small sale. I’m glad I called you and would highly recommend your company to anyone.
David Hartman

Fawn and her team at Sydney Moore did a great job with our estate sale. Living in Orlando and Selling a house in Pittsburgh was not easy, but Fawn did everything with the contents of the home from start to finish and left the home broom clean, debris free, and ready for walk through.
John DePaola

Dear Fawn,
Bill and I want to thank you for the superb job you and your team did at our Aunt’s Estate Sale earlier this month. You and your team were so helpful and accommodating throughout the entire process, which was particularly helpful since we were planning this event from out-of-state. We can’t say enough about your professionalism, expertise and responsiveness before, during and after our event. Your staff was top-notch, hard-working, experienced, friendly and very professional. Your firm was highly recommended to us, and we can certainly see why.
Thank you so much for everything.
Kind regards,
Bill and Katie Scalzulli

Hi Fawn,
Just wanted to thank you and all those involved with our estate sale! My mother-in-laws house sold in 4 days! We had to get in cleaned out. It seemed to me to be an overwhelming undertaking. There was no possible way for my husband and I to get this done. You made it all sound so easy.I was initially very apprehensive about the whole thing as we had never had to do this before. Even with your continual reassurance in the days prior to the sale, I was still unsure of what to expect especially since the closing of the house was only one week after the sale.
You and your crew were absolutely wonderful! Everything was handled professionally from set-up to clean-up. My husband and I were both very happy with the results. I will be recommending your services to a friend of mine in a similar situation as well as to anyone else looking for this type of service.
Thank you again,
K.W.

Dear Fawn,
Many thanks for all of your help with closing our home at 1210 Old Concord Road in Monroeville. You have been so professional and thorough from beginning to end. I especially appreciated your willingness to keep me informed even though we are handling this from out of state! Thanks for doing what it takes to make our transition such a smooth one.
Sincerely,
Kris Young

Fawn, thank you so much. It was an absolute pleasure working with you. You really know what you are doing and your staff was courteous and knowledgeable. It was well worth the fee for your service and we made some money as well. Definitely made my life a lot easier. You can count on me for a very positive reference.
Thank you again,
Sincerely,
Jack Steinhart

Wanted to let you know that we are very pleased with the results of our sale, and with the way you and your team handled the whole process. We love the artful way you set it all up in an organized way. And we appreciate the professional job done on Saturday. What a good crew, all with really pleasant personalities.
So–thanks to all for a job well done.
Louise

I can’t say enough positive things about my experience with Sydney B. Moore Estate Sales. Fawn Moore Campbell coordinated the estate sale for my one of my family members and handled it with the highest level of integrity and professionalism. She handled all aspects of the sale — setup, pricing, advertising, the sale itself, and post-sale cleanout — making it very easy for me and my family. The sale was a great success!
Thanks again Fawn.
Jeanne B. Clark

Fawn, I know that my sister-in-law, Colleen, has already conveyed our gratitude for the work you and your teams did on our behalf regarding the Estate Sale (Yates –
2725 College Park Rd.). I wanted to add my personal voice to that thankfulness. From the very beginning, when you so promptly responded to my call and your availability to address any questions as the plan developed, to meeting you at the house and your thoughtful, articulate and clear presentation of how things would unfold, to your set-up team (prompt, respectful and sensitive of our situation), to Carol and Jim who handled the sale, and, finally, to your clean-up crew (as Colleen reported) … we feel privileged to have had Sydney B. Moore Estate Sales look after the details.
You took what was a daunting task for the family and transformed the plan into reality. We could not say enough about how everyone we’e met, representing your company, exceeded our expectations. We will, as Colleen already has had opportunity, be passing on your name and your company name to friends who may be approaching a similar need.
Above all, we are grateful for the sensitivity and respect all of you showed toward our mother’s home, furnishings and belongings, as well as extending that same sensitivity and respect to Colleen, Joan and me.
Again, thank you.
Cam E. Yates

Fawn,
Many thanks again for such an excellent job in the estate sale of my parent’s house. When we first met early winter, you had seen what my parents had accumulated with fifty years of marriage. After raising five kids and living in the six bedroom house for over 40 years, my parents had managed to never quite throw much of anything away and held on to quite a bunch of “stuff”. The task assigned to me, the sibling who inherited the house, of cleaning it out was quite daunting. Yet, even then, you were able to coach me through the process of organizing the house and preparing it for the estate sale.
From the moment I met with you, until the completion of the sale, you managed to answer every question and handle every situation that I presented you with such patience and professionalism. You were flexible to work within my time line and understood cleaning out the house took much longer than I had anticipated. Thanks to your willingness to work with me and experience with so many other large estate sales, I knew that your company would be the best for our family.
I was most impressed by your efficiency, attention to detail and organization of the items in such a tasteful and classy manner. When I entered the house prior to the sale, I was amazed that you were able to take everything I had left for you (that was scattered throughout the whole house) and stage all the items with fair and competitive prices. On the actual day of the sale, I was once again astonished by the crowds that came to the sale and how you managed to leave me with an almost empty house.
Your staff before, during and after the sale were a joy to work with and were in communication with me multiple days after the sale to assure that I was pleased with the work they had done. They fulfilled my goal of having an empty house that could be ready for renovation to begin a new chapter for the lives of my siblings and family.
You exceeded every expectation that I had when I contacted you months ago for the estate sale. You really are the best at what you do. I would never hesitate to tell anyone how great your company is! Many, many thanks!
Molly Jesso

On behalf of the entire George and Eleanor Kolsun family we would like to thank you and your amazing staff for the wonderful job you did at the estate sale. We realize this was not a phenomenal money-maker for you but your professionalism and attention to detail made this a little easier for all of us to handle. I’m sure you hear this quite a bit, that even though they are only “things” they represent memories of mom and dad. It would have been very hard for us to have done this on our own. The things may go, but never the memories!!
With our thanks, 
The Kolsun’s, Labrozzi’s and Hottel’s

“We had an outstanding experience with Fawn and her team from start to finish. The results exceeded our expectations. Fawn and her team handled the process very professionally and flawlessly. They advised us
ahead of time what to expect. Therefore we had no surprises through this process. We would highly recommend Fawn and her experienced team members for your estate sale. We would not hesitate to contact her again if we would be in need of an estate sale in the future!”
Bill & Denise Brown

Fawn Moore Campbell handled our estate sale in late December 2021, as a result of our family’s downsizing and moving out of state. We couldn’t have done it without her! We had lived in our home for 23 years, and even after a lot of decluttering, we had furniture, home furnishings, and other items to sell. We were thrilled with the results from our estate sale and from our relationship with Fawn!
Fawn came highly recommended by friends, neighbors, and our listing broker. We met with Fawn several months before we listed our home. We had never had an estate sale before, and she gave us helpful advice on what would sell and what wouldn’t sell. This helped us determine what to keep for the sale and what to get rid of before the sale.
Fawn is very organized and easy to work with. She is honest and has a great deal of experience in the estate sale business. Her helpful comments made it easy to know what to expect from an estate sale.
One of the most important things to us was that Fawn was a calming influence and took the pressure off of our family as we prepared to list our house. Fawn handled all of the estate sale details beautifully. Her team treated our home as if it was their own, and we were very pleased with the dollar amount she presented us with after the sale. Fawn is a true professional in her field and we would highly recommend her services!!
