Testimonials

Writes former Oklahoma County Commissioner and former Oklahoma State Corporation Commissioner Jim Roth of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma:

I am writing to recommend Matt McNeil and McNeil Liquidations.

I am a recent customer, and I am thrilled with how professional, courteous and competent Matt and his team were.

They performed exceptionally well, having put together a one-day sale with just two weeks’ notice, planning and execution. I particularly appreciated Matt’s professional understanding of the value of art and furniture, and his willingness to be candid with me about expectations.

I was able to place reserves on a number of items, and he communicated with me during the sale to keep me posted of developing opportunities on several items.

The sale went off without a hitch and netted more dollars than I was expecting. He handled the advertising, the permitting, the tax remittance, the security and the clean-up. I would highly recommend him to any friend considering this type of undertaking.

My days of conducting my own moving sale are over. I am now aware that it’s best to hire the best — and that’s McNeil Liquidations.

Writes Mrs. Raelyn Grant of El Reno, Oklahoma:

Thank you, Matt McNeil/McNeil Liquidations for the wonderful way in which you handled the liquidation of my business, The Hager House Bed and Breakfast, in El Reno.

The Hager House Bed and Breakfast was a business I started in March of 2004. Matt realized right away how emotionally attached I was to the business I had started, grown and come to love. (The memories I have I will always cherish!)

Matt took the time and had the patience to conduct the liquidation of my business. All the way through the process, he made sure to take my personal feelings into account. For that, I will always be grateful.

I highly recommend McNeil Liquidations for its knowledge, professionalism and kindness.

Writes Dr. Randi Van Ellefson, Professor of Music at Oklahoma City University and Director of the Canterbury Chorale:

I am happy to write a letter of recommendation on behalf of McNeil Liquidations.

Matt organized a major sale at my home in Lakehurst.  He was professional and organized and priced all items fairly. He completely exceeded my expectations.  He advertised the sale well and produced a large crowd of customers.  He prepared and displayed my property in an an effective manner, and was, again, thoroughly professional from the beginning of the process to its conclusion.

I strongly recommend him to anyone considering an estate sale.

Writes Mrs. Peggy King, wife of Naval Commander Allen King of Epworth Villa, Oklahoma City, OK:

I’m sorry I procrastinated about getting this review done, but it was not because of anything that Matt and his crew did.

They were great! I had interviewed two other people who had been recommended to me, but when Matt’s turn came, I knew he was the one.

He did everything he promised, such as hiring an off-duty police person to monitor the sale, taking care of displaying and pricing everything, and sending my check for the proceeds quickly.

He made more money for me than I had expected, also!

Thank you, Matt, for putting up with an old lady who had lots of things to dispose of before moving into a much smaller space. You did a fantastic job!

Writes Mrs. Julia Phillips of Edmond, Oklahoma:

I can’t thank you enough for the wonderful job you did in handling my father’s estate sale. Your professionalism, knowledge, experience, and efficiency exceeded all of my expectations. I truly appreciate your kindness and sensitivity in understanding how difficult and emotional it is to have to liquidate the estate of a recently deceased loved one. I can’t think of one thing more you could have done to make this easier for me.

Writes Mr. Terry Trego of Woodward, Oklahoma:

Contracting with McNeil Liquidations to sell the contents of my parents’ home was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.

I would urge anyone with an estate to be liquidated to take advantage of my investigation and personal experience, and avail themselves of the sales services offered by McNeil Liquidations.

I am confident that, like me, at the conclusion of your sale you will congratulate yourself for making such a wise and lucrative decision.

Writes Mr. Charles “Charlie” L. Cashion, trustee for the estate of Mr. Lamar Cashion & the late Mrs. Édith-Thérèse Toupet-Sullivan-Cashion of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma:

It is my distinct pleasure to write this letter of recommendation for Matt McNeil and his company. (Matt just finished the estate sale for my father and his deceased wife.)

The whole was, from start to finish, easy for us and, I am sure, a lot of work for Matt and his employees.

The first thing that impressed me about Matt was how many people recommended him. His was the first name mentioned by everyone I asked. He more than lived up to the reputation that he and his associates have.

Some of the other things that impressed me favorably were a) his excellent assistance in making the many decisions that had to be made, b) the great care and attention that went into the cleaning and display of the sale’s items themselves, and c) Matt’s ability to identify and beautifully describe works of art in my father’s estate. Finally, I would say that he instilled in us a sense of confidence that turned out to be very well founded.

Writes Dr. Dale McCune of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma:

I’ve known Matt for several years through his frequent estate sales I like to attend.

When it was necessary to close my aunt’s home in Chickasha and have a sale, I chose Matt to perform the task for me as trustee for the estate.

My aunt had no children, and I knew her lovely home was packed to the hilt with everything imaginable. The time it was going to take to sort it all out was impossible in my schedule. Matt sorted trash and treasure in short time, organized and priced the sale and presented me with a check for the Trust.

The home was already sold by the time the sale was held, and Matt arranged for Children’s Hospital Network to completely empty out the home before he returned the key to me.

I can’t recommend Matt more highly to anyone needing these services. He can save you a nightmare with a smile on his face, and make a potentially unpleasant task actually quite enjoyable. And, I still try never to miss one of Matt’s estate sales which have added many beautiful things to my own home.

Writes retired USAF Lt. Col. Patrick H. Keating of Norman, Oklahoma:

We have known Matt McNeil, ISA CAPP of McNeil Liquidations for about four years. He was first referred to us by a well respected law firm here in Norman.

He tended to the estate sale of my parents, retired USAF Lt. Col. Donald and Mrs. Donald Keating, and did an excellent job.

My parents survived a Depression and two wars and had lived overseas, and they had saved almost everything, from matchboxes, to newspapers, to almost every gift they’d ever received. (They had even saved wrapping paper and cards!)  Matt spent many hours going through every little item and sorting out the valuable items and heirlooms from the, well, not so valuable items.

He then staged the house to create good traffic flow for a sale, and so that the items would be displayed in a tasteful and attractive manner.  As a result of the extensive preparation, almost everything in the estate sold!  When the sale was completed, Matt had arranged for three different non-profit groups to take the remaining items so that we did not have to deal with getting rid of them.

Matt is polite, responsible and very personable.  The whole preparation process and sale itself took all of three weeks, in which time we became close friends with Matt.  We still stay in touch.

We would never hesitate to recommend Matt to anyone who is in need of a personal property appraiser or professional estate liquidator.  We would gladly use him again.

Writes Mr. Jim Eastep of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma:

We hired Matt to conduct my estate sale at the beginning of the summer. I was feeling overwhelmed and didn’t know what to do.

Matt had been referred to me via a business associate. He came to my house and conducted an evaluation. Within 20 minutes, I knew I had made the right decision to contact him. His professionalism, knowledge, and good nature put me at ease.

He handled every single detail of the sale (a sale which, by the way, was a tremendous success.) He even handled the charitable donations at the close of the sale!

Art Deco lamp: $150.00.
Campaign-style desk: $350.00.
McNeil Liquidations: PRICELESS!

Writes Ms. Mary Ann Carter of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma:

Matt McNeil of McNeil Liquidations recently conducted a sale of my parents’ estate. I was extremely pleased with his knowledge of antiques and the local market. His list of experts and contacts is extensive, and played an integral part in his ability to maximize the realized value of my parents’ estate.

Matt was also a pleasure to work with — and not just for his expertise. (You really have to place a lot of trust in the person you choose for this overwhelming task, and I can say without reservation that Matt has both the integrity and honesty that made placing this sometimes emotional and very personal responsibility in his hands a worry-free experience.)

I shall continue to recommend Matt and his professional team to any and all of my friends who are in need of such services.

I wanted to let you know of this very positive experience that I had with one of our local businessmen.

Writes Mr. Kenneth Hoffman of Forest Park, Oklahoma:

Matt and his crew worked extremely hard in preparing and running the recent estate sale of my parents’ home contents.

The sale was very successful, with almost everything selling. Matt was very quick in getting the family the proceeds from the sale. I highly recommend Matt’s company if you need to liquidate a family estate.

Writes Mrs. Tricia Porter-Engelbert of Highlands Ranch, Colorado:

I wanted to thank you again for the incredible professionalism and promptness you showed during the liquidation of my grandfather’s estate in Oklahoma City. Moving him was made easier on all of us because of you. (I am so impressed by the way you were able to take a 35 year old house and all its contents and make such a success of the sale in under two weeks’ time!)

We used the proceeds of the sale to update Grandpa’s new apartment and provide him with many amenities that have changed his life for the better. We couldn’t have done that without your knowledge, your impeccable organizational skills and your understanding of the situation.

I am proud to have worked with you during this process and am equally grateful to now have you as a friend. If you ever need business in the Denver area, please let me know! You’re welcome in Colorado anytime.

Writes Mrs. Lila Shroyer of Skiatook, Oklahoma:

The nightmare on 58th Street became a dream come true when we were referred to Matt and his staff to help us liquidate an estate. We highly recommend McNeil Liquidations to anyone needing this service. We found McNeil Liquidations to be both professional and expedient. You won’t be disappointed!

Writes Ms. Donna Schmidt-Laski of Dallas, Texas:

I would like to convey my many thanks to McNeil Liquidations and its staff for taking over the daunting task of liquidating the contents of my elderly parents’ home in Oklahoma City, a home which contained just about everything they had acquired in 61 years of marriage. The house had been unoccupied for over 2 years, and I, their only child, felt paralyzed with the overwhelming burden of clearing out all the ’stuff’ to get the house ready to put on the market.

I did not know Matt McNeil; however, he came very highly recommended in my search for estate liquidators in Oklahoma City. I had several conversations with Matt, and became very comfortable (and stress relieved!) with his professionalism and candid advice.

McNeil Liquidations came to my rescue and performed a stellar ‘turnkey’ job. The sale went very well without any inconvenience to me. I was impressed and very pleased. Additionally, my proceeds from the sale were delivered in a timely manner.

I would highly recommend Matt McNeil/McNeil Liquidations to any professional, acquaintance or friend in need of an estate sale or appraisal of any size. The experience will not disappoint, and will, in fact, be much more than pleasant.

Writes Mrs. Cheryl Morrison of Edmond, Oklahoma:

Matt McNeil and his company conducted an estate sale at my father’s home with extreme efficiency and professionalism. Our whole family was truly impressed and amazed at his knowledge and expertise. (It was a perfect turn-key operation!)

When Matt walked in, he said he would handle everything, and he did. There was no money expended on our part. He took care of security, personnel, staging, pricing, permits and everything you can imagine. A job I was dreading was turned into a most pleasant experience.

I can’t recommend Matt McNeil and his team more highly. They were always very friendly and professional. In my humble opinion, Matt is absolutely the best at what he does.

Writes Dr. Donald W. Ellis of Russellville, Kentucky:

An estate sale can be a very sticky business where not only considerations of value but logistics and sentiment come into play.

Matt McNeil handled my estate — an estate which was huge and very complex — in the most efficient, sensitive and satisfactory way.

The whole thing took place with the least trouble to me and the results were in every way more than satisfactory.

I highly recommend him and urge the seller to take his professional advice.

Writes Ms. Lisa Henley, executrix for the estate of the late Mrs. Glorine “Glo” Henley, former Secretary of State for the State of Oklahoma of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma:

I was lucky enough to be able to engage Matt to handle our family’s estate sale recently.

Matt did a superb job in not only staging the items for sale, but also in pricing the items themselves to sell for a fair and competitive price. (This made all the difference.)

I had engaged another estate liquidator several years ago for another family member’s estate, and — to be candid — it was one of the worst experiences of my life.

As a result, I was very hesitant to try again, but working with Matt and his team was a genuine pleasure.

Thank you for changing my mind about this process, Matt!

Writes Mr. and Mrs. Ronald Stewart of Portland, Oregon:

Matt, you and your team at OkcEstateSales.com did a terrific job on our estate sale.

We were in the process of selling two homes, and packing, and getting ready to move out of state. It was nice to have someone to rely on to take care of everything related to the estate sale.

You did such a professional job, and we made more — net — than we had expected to make gross!

Thanks again for a terrific experience!

Writes Mr. Lynn Taggart, executor for the estate of the late Mr. Don Taggart (Assistant Director for the State Fair of Oklahoma) of Edmond, Oklahoma:

I just wanted to thank Matt and his team for a job very well done in handling the recent sale of my father’s estate after my father’s passing this summer.

My father had lived in the same home for the last 50 years.  As an only child, I was dreading the thought of trying to empty out the house to prepare it for sale, not only from a physical standpoint since the house was crammed full of fifty years’ worth of “stuff” — but an emotional one as well, since it was the home I grew up in with fifty years’ worth of memories as well.

Enter Matt McNeil. After seeing all the positive reviews about his company on Angie’s List, I gave Matt a call and I’m so glad I did.

Matt handled the entire transaction with class, empathy and professionalism. His attention to detail is impressive, his marketing savvy is first rate and everything went off like clockwork — just as he said it would. Without my lifting a finger, Matt’s crew left me with a completely vacant home ready for sale.

I am still amazed at how efficiently he conducts his business. For anyone undecided about who to use for what undoubtedly for many of us is a daunting task, look no further — McNeil Liquidations should be your first and only choice.

Thanks, Matt for making a difficult job as painless as possible.  You are the best at what you do.

Writes Mrs. Judith A. Beckman of Marana, Arizona:

Matt handled the liquidation of my late mother’s estate in Oklahoma City and was most professional and helpful.

We were under serious time constraints, as my father had just passed away weeks before.  Matt handled the sale wonderfully in spite of all the stressors.  He cheerfully helped us through each little snag that came up.  We were and are very grateful for all his help.

Writes Mr. John Trent, Jr. of Edmond, Oklahoma:

McNeil Liquidations worked miracles for us.

We were fortunate to sell my parents house shortly after placing the house for sale. I contacted Matt and explained our situation of selling the house and the need to have an estate sale.  (We had a very tight window to vacate the house for the new owners.)

McNeil Liquidations was able to execute the estate sale within a two week period. They did everything preparing the house for the sale, and took care of advertising and security, as well.

The most helpful thing was making sure everything was sold or donated to charities. The new owners could have moved into the house the Monday after the sale.

All of my dealings with Matt were very professional. I found his expectations for our sale were right on target. I was very pleased with McNeil Liquidations and highly recommend them to my friends. They made our life transition easy and painless.

Writes The Honorable Dr. Edward Perkins, former United States Ambassador to Liberia and South Africa of :

I want to express my thanks to you for the excellent estate sale you conducted on the our behalf . . . I would be especially pleased to offer my recommendations to future clients should you deem my recommendation useful.
