After 30 years in the same giant house, it was a daunting and stressful task to downsize by 80%. Madeline eased our every anxiety and delivered on every promise. Madeline, Bob and Staff were extremely professional, respectful and thorough which led to a remarkably successful sale. From start to finish, we couldn’t have found a more perfect partner. Thank you! We recommend them enthusiastically and without reservation;

Madeline, her husband and the staff were excellent to work with. I had my tag sale this weekend and am thrilled the way they conducted it from beginning to end. The set up was excellent and the staff that ran the sale was excellent. We had a huge turnout and we are very happy with the results. I would definitely use her company again if the situation arises

From start to finish Madeline and her team were a pleasure to work with. She also has an incredible network of dealers - we actually had one dealer who arrived the night before and slept in his car. The sale was a big success. We had a lot less work, and made a lot more money, than we ever expected.

A professional and painless process.Squaring up profits at the end of the day was clear and efficient. Day one was over 26k in net profit, yes over $26,000. Very, very happy and we have two more days to go.

From the moment I made my first phone call to Madeline to discuss the possibility of having her and her company run an estate sale in my home I dealt with true professionalism, honesty and fairness. Madeline and all her staff represent the values that we view as good moral character and true business professionals. Her staff did everything from set up to clean up and everything in between. They were professional, friendly and helpful. Most importantly they all were sensitive to the fact that even though my family was departing our home it was still “ours” and handled everything with kid gloves and true sensitivity. I have already referred Madeline and her team to several friends. Needless to say, I highly recommend full of surprises and if needed I look forward to working with them again.

I wanted to take a minute to say thank you for all you did. Moving is so stressful and thinking of letting go of your personal belongings is not easy. You made the entire process so much easier. You and your staff were extremely organized and professional. It was one less thing for me to be concerned with. Full of Suprizes came in and set everything up and then conducted the sale without needing my involvement. Madeline was exceptionally professional and composed. She didn't get flustered even when dealing with a very nasty neighbor. I was very impressed at how smoothly the sale and moving of sold items went. I would definitely recommend Madeline and her company to anyone going through a move!!!!!

I was the lucky recipient of contact information for Full of Surprizes to work with for an Estate Sale that I needed to have. After experiencing loss and needing to move from my home, rather quickly, getting the opportunity to work with Madeline Winn and her extraordinary staff was a blessing. The process of letting go is not
easy under normal circumstances, but especially hard after recently losing my husband. They made the whole experience, simple, positive and lucrative. Even the post sale was easy as they held my hand the whole way and arranged the rest of the items that did not sell to be donated. They had the answers to all of my questions and more.
If you are in need of a move for any reason, I recommend Full of Surprizes for their compassion, business savvy, integrity and ability to sell meaningful and special items from my home.

Having a tag sale in a home of 40 years is daunting. Madeline and her friendly and knowledgeable staff were so amazing. From our first visit I knew I had the right person. She has a positive attitude about everything.The sale was planned and organized like clockwork. Our home was secured, and the results were far more than we expected. They are professional and pleasant beyond description. Madeline never loses her cool, even when she is being asked questions from 10 people at the same time. She gets the job well done..
Thanks for everything,

The sale of the Mid-century contents of this home and Baby Grand Piano, plus the donation and cleanout of the remaining contents of the home all took place from a distance, as the family lives in Seattle Washington.
Madeline,
You have been wonderful to work with: a balance of warmth and understanding plus a professional pragmatism that made a complicated and emotional year and a half much easier to contend with. Thank you for everything!
I've sent a donation to The Inn in your honor as a thank you for your work with us, you should probably hear from them soon.

My husband and I used Full of Surprizes for a 2 day estate sale at our home a few days before a move out of state. Needless to say we were very nervous about being able to sell out the entire contents of our home in 3 days!!! Madeline and her crew were amazing! Not only was she reassuring and confident in her abilities to complete the process she was there for us every step of the way. I couldn't believe how many people showed up at my home! She sold the majority of my furniture in one day! By the second day most of the contents of my house was sold and picked up! She even arranged for a clean out company to come to my home on a Sunday to clean out the rest!!! I don't know what we would have done without her. She is professional, honest, reliable, pleasant and an absolute sweetheart to work with! Thank you Madeline!!!!
