I highly recommend Anubis and Athena Estate sales. I had a huge amount of stuff that I personally could not go thru on my own when my mom passed away. Many years worth of furniture, items etc that my mom had accumulated and/or saved. Brian and Lisa were extremely helpful, quick and very efficient in getting thru all of the things to set up for an estate sale and if they found anything personal (pictures, items... So forth) they set it aside. The estate sale was a great success and I'm so happy with the work they did!!!

Estate sales are never easy. You are either downsizing and having to say goodbye to years of memories, or selling off the those of a loved one. When I had to clear out the apartment belonging to my partner of 50 years, I didn't know where to turn, so just picked a company out of a yelp list. Everyone warned me that estate liquidators ended up taking months to arrange a sale, then taking over half the profits, so I wasn't very optimistic. But I'm in my seventies and didn't have family to help or the energy to handle things on my own.
Brian and Lisa were a wonderful surprise. They came out to meet me the same day I called, explained all the arrangements and set the dates for the sale. They worked with me to set up a schedule that firt in with my needs, and helped me sort out the items I wanted to keep.
Jim's apartment was packed full of Asian and Victorian antiques, some of which were very fragile. Brian and Lisa andbtheir staff worked long days to price and stage everything, handling everything with great care. On the three days of the sale, they limited the number of buyers to 5 at a time, to minimize confusion and opportunities for theft (they also set up security cameras throughout the apartment.) Everything went smoothly.
After the end of the sale, they arranged to take unsold items to sell on ebay or in their antique stall. They then handled clearing out the apartment and taking the last of the furnishings to the charities of my choice.
Throughout the whole time they were both professional and caring. They treated me like family rather than a customer. Their percentage of the sale, and the cost of clearing out the apartment were surprisingly reasonable....far better than I had been led to expect by family and friends who had been in similar circumstances.
I will always be grateful for their assistance at a very trying time. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

I recently worked with A&A Estate Sales to clean out my parents’ home. It was a huge undertaking and they did a wonderful job organizing a large volume of items. Everyone I worked with was very professional, friendly, respectful, and responsive. I was very satisfied with the results of the sale and highly recommend A&A’s services.

My 70+ year old parents were moving out of their 5 bedroom house in Fox Chapel, and I knew they needed to have an estate sale team. I was 5 hours away in Philadelphia, and unlike the Philly area, I was surprised to see that Fox Chapel estate sales were not common. I googled a few estate companies and called A&A estate sales to come meet for a consultation. I picked them because 1) I liked that they were family run and headed by Brian and Lisa, which meant we had 2 heads rather than 1, 2) they had a lot of pictures and teasers on their website which other companies did not have, 3) Brian has a firearm sales license and my dad had guns that needed to be sold, and 4) they were very responsive and could set up a time to meet quickly! After having met them for a consultation, they were full of knowledge, easy to talk to, and very sensitive to how people may be attached to things and how the whole process works.
The estate sale has just concluded and I cannot say enough good things about Brian and Lisa. They brought order to an overwhelming task. They were so hardworking and detail oriented. Lisa takes so much care in display of items and also marks steps so people don’t trip! Things I would never think of. And Brian was a calming force and always a positive presence. They were mindful to put aside sentimental items and keepsakes they would come across. They were so considerate of the space and even kept security in mind with security cameras during the sale. The sale was a huge success with a wonderful turnout. They also have services to help with clean out!
Importantly, Brian and Lisa are really good people. They were very sensitive and patient with my senile father and my sometimes resistant mother. They are honest and so hardworking. Because of my dad, I put my parents in a hotel during the two day sale and we handed over the keys to the house and alarm codes to Brian and Lisa, and we wholeheartedly trusted them to handle everything.
I cannot say enough good things, and I strongly recommend A&A estate sales. Couldn’t have gotten my parents moved in time without them. I hope to see them blossom in the Fox Chapel area, and would recommend them in a heartbeat to help find your precious things new homes and make the whole process of downsizing easy!

I recently used A&A Estate Sales for my mother's house in Freedom, PA. Because I live 7 hours away and would not be able to be present for the daunting process, I needed a team that was exceptionally knowledgeable, reliable and trustworthy. After reaching out to many different estate sale companies, I enthusiastically chose to work with Brian and Lisa from A&A. They were extremely responsive every step of the way. They were sensitive to the intricacies of our particular sale, both logistically with the neighborhood homeowner's association and emotionally in going through valuable family possessions. Brian and Lisa anticipated my every need, were able to answer any question I threw at them, and had an unbelievable knowledge of the items we were selling. After meticulous preparation and ongoing communication with them, Brian and Lisa (and their team) executed a flawless estate sale in which they sold the majority of the contents of my mom's 3 bedroom house. I cannot emphasize how easy and stress-free this experience was. If you need an estate sale team in Western PA, look no further than A&A Estates Sales!

A & A Estates Sales owners Brian and Lisa were great to work with from our first meeting to the post sales call. They are extremely knowledgable , very professional and very easy and likeable. I was so impressed when we toured the house prior to the sale with the presentation and grouping of items for the various displays. Clearly they do a fabulous job marketing the event through social media and online advertising since we have a line waiting to get into the house, with my neighbor counting more than 80 cars at one point. The post sale reporting and accounting was very thorough. I have recommended A&A Estates Sales to several friends and will continue to do so. Thank you Brian and Lisa!

I initially contacted Brian and Lisa in June and scheduled for September to run an estate sale for my late grandmothers property and items. Their approach to my grandmothers home was calculated and efficient. Their team was very professional and communicated any questions or concerns. Both Brian and Lisa demonstrated experience and knowledge over the breadth of items in the home, from furniture and art to jewelry, glassware, antiques and more. They took care of setting up, advertising, and executing the sale with great success. A&A Estate sales offered follow up and additional cleanout services, however the sale was such a success that I could manage the last part on my own. I would 10 out of 10 recommend them to anyone in the area looking for Estate Sale services.

Words cannot describe how absolutely amazing A&A Estate sales are! I was so overwhelmed with an estate that I was dealing with and didn’t know where to turn. Brian and Lisa came to the rescue! They do such a wonderful and impressive job from beginning to end. Everything was displayed so you could see it, not just dumped in boxes to dig through. They added lighting to highlight special pieces. Brian did a phenomenal job with advertising, posting on numerous social platforms. Both Brian and Lisa are so knowledgeable they taught me some things I didn’t know! Their staff was so friendly, polite and knowledgeable. If you’re looking for a great estate sale company, do not hesitate to use A&A Estate Sales. Contact them today! You will not be disappointed!

I just have to give credit where credit is due. I have been going to Brian And Lisas estate sales for years. They are always so pleasant with the customers, do such a good job setting up and really making things look fantastic. And their ads and photo spreads have no equal. Keep up the good work and I can't wait to see the next few sales this summer!
