Client Testimonials

“WOW! My sisters and I would have been at my mother's home till doomsday without you!”

Laura S.

Port Townsend

“Robin and her crew are human dynamos! Their work and organization skills to put together these auctions is truly amazing! We are so glad they were here to help us thru the process of clearing out my mother's house. We can't thank you enough!”

Fred K.

Port Townsend

“We are so grateful to you and your crew, you all did an amazing job in a very considerate and thoughtful manner. We are very happy to have worked with every one of you. We are amazed at the amount that sold and happy that there is so much less entering the landfill than if we would have done things ourselves. I have already been singing your praises to people!”

Andrea & Sam R.

Port Townsend

“Robin was trustworthy, efficient, and very flexible. She worked in close coordination with my real estate agent. Perfect for someone like me who had to arrange everything from a great distance.”

Susan B.

Netherlands

“Robin, many, many thanks to you and your team for the great job you did. We are very pleased with the outcome!”

Pat & Glenn E.

Port Ludlow

“Robin Abb is my hero, my Moving Angel, and Wonder Woman! She came to a house that was crammed full of STUFF — way too much — and I hadn't gone through things in years. She organized and structured what we were both going to do each day; she packed stuff in boxes quickly and professionally; she kept me from being overwhelmed and discouraged. She is totally ethical and conscientious, always watching out for my costs. She is an absolute pleasure to be with and work with. She is worth her weight in gold, and someone I'm proud to call a friend!”

Betty A.

San Diego

“The house feels peaceful and neutral. I just keep walking around the house saying thank god for Robin! Like all the small details like arranging the pantry and labeling stuff with post-its and the little bits of tidying. Your sixth sense of what to say and not to say, to push on and not, and knowing when and how to say and push, was exactly right on the nose. I even think I'm going to try to be more Robin-esque with some of my clients now.”

Lesa S.

Seattle

“How well we did is a credit to you, Robin, and your teams! I'm very pleased with the outcome and the overall experience. To say it was somewhat discombobulating is an understatement but well worth it. Thanks again to you and your terrific teams. Please share this with them.”

Wendy P.

Sequim

“We were very pleased with your services. We've been touting you to everyone we know. We appreciated your energy, experience and enthusiasm and that of your crew. Thanks so much.”

Lois & Karl K.

Gig Harbor

“Again, I can't thank you enough for how beautifully you have taken care of the HUGE job of liquidation. My brother and I can't believe how fortunate we are to have found you. It's been a miracle for us. If you ever need a recommendation or testimony of the excellence of your services, sign me up.”

Willene M.

Port Townsend

“Thank you and your staff for the wonderful job you did for me. I could never have been able to do it by myself. You all worked so hard and were always so pleasant at the same time.”

Liz E.

Sequim

“I have had the most phenomenal experience. My husband became quite ill, suddenly, and we decided to move closer to family. From that very first meeting their professionalism, experience and even more so their sensitivity to our situation was so comforting and reassuring. Every item sold but one. The house was empty and the whole process was amazing.”

Christie M.

Gig Harbor

“I hopped on during the last 15 minutes to watch and it was so much fun! It all happened just like you said. I appreciate everything you've been doing, and the auction looked great; you did an awesome job in the descriptions and grouping everything, which I'm sure is especially difficult when there's so. much. stuff.”

Emily C.

Sequim

“I can't thank you enough for all of your hard work and vibrant energies to make this happen. The fact that my dad trusted you to make all the right decisions meant everything. Thanks so much for all that you do!”

Susie B.

Port Townsend

“Thank you very much for managing the move, cleanout, and auction so splendidly. We're so glad it was all in your hands! You somehow managed to help him through the decisions with a minimum of stress. The outcomes were so much better than we could have imagined. We're very grateful!”

Chris B.

Port Townsend

“Hiring Robin Abb to help me clear out a large home for an estate sale was one of the best decisions I ever made. Robin is trustworthy, highly capable and cares about people. She works efficiently, knows how to prioritize and utilize both tech and community resources to get the job done. Sorting through the belongings of a loved one is never easy. Robin was sensitive to my mood swings and made arduous tasks so much easier. I would not hesitate to hire Robin again. She is truly a gem!”

Liz L.

Port Townsend

“It was a little frightening to turn our house and 60+ years of memories and memorabilia over to a stranger to sift through. But Robin and her team very quickly and conscientiously sorted all the belongings and managed the auction. I was amazed at their ability to know what to include in the auction, what to send to charity, and what to question me on to make sure it wasn't a family keepsake. In the end, with no headaches at all, the house was left exactly as needed. I expected this process to be difficult, but Robin made it easy. There is no question that this was a Smooth Transition.”

Rob R.

Kentucky

“Before taking on the responsibility of becoming the Personal Representative of an estate, I had not had the pleasure of knowing about Smooth Transitions. Robin Abb and her team came into the home and assessed what was there and gave an estimate of costs. They worked diligently through warm summer days, cleaning out a garage, cataloging every item, going through hundreds of books and albums, connecting with community agencies for donations and recycling. Important to me, and at the top of my list, is honesty and integrity. I found both. If you hire this team, you will not be disappointed — trust me.”
