Discover the Real Customer References for Estate Sale Liquidators

 

Checking estate sale liquidators’ customer references is important because you want to be confident that past customers have had positive experiences. It goes without saying that you should ask them for references which you’ll want to call, but ask yourself – would you give a potential customer a bad customer reference? The answer is inevitably no. Liquidators will only give you the contact information of customers that had positive experiences, which is still helpful to hear but you want to discover the real customer references. You want to find out what the bad experiences were as well, and how bad they really were.
 

Here are a couple ways to do your own research on estate sale liquidators customers to hopefully paint a fuller picture of the customer satisfaction.
 

1. Check Yelp: http://www.yelp.com/
 

Yelp is a recommendation website, allowing customers to review and rate services providers. If you do a local search with the name of the liquidator in question, it’s very possible you may read some not so rosy reviews.
 

2. Check Better Business Bureau: http://www.bbb.org/us/Find-Business-Reviews/
 

The BBB is a US nationwide organization that uses established criteria to rate the ethical and community standing of a firm and provides this information as a means to maintain a high level of trust between the businesses and the public. By checking their profile on the BBB website, you can find out if any customers have filed complaints and whether those complaints have been adequately resolved.
 

3. Check Google: http://www.google.com/

 

 

This may be intuitive for some, but others often overlook the simplicity of a general search on customer complaints. By entering the liquidator’s company name followed by “complaints”, you may be surprised by some of the results. Your search would look like this “[company name] complaints”. Hopefully nothing shows up, but take a second to look at the top search results incase there have been materials customer complaints.
 

4. Check Personal Contacts
 

Don’t forget to ask around in your personal network to hear if they’ve done work with any local liquidators.These simple resources can help uncover any skeletons that may be hiding in the closet. If you take the time now, shouldn’t take longer than 15 minutes, you’ll greatly benefit in the end.
