Designs by Cec

“Thank you Cecilee for organizing and coordinating a successful Estate sale for the belongings in our family home. Your attention to detail and constant communication made this process extremely stress-free for our family who all lives hundreds of miles away.
From your proposal, to coordinating appraisals, the removal of large items requiring a great deal of extra work, in addition to a successful sale, followed up by donations and the whole house clean up, each and every part were seamless to us and an extraordinary amount of work.
The closing documentation and detailed sales results were far more than we expected.

Thank you Cec!”

“We wanted to make sure you knew how much we appreciated your help and expertise in organizing and running our moving sale this past July, as we departed Michigan for our new home in South Carolina. You and your team quickly responded to our request for your help and were able to fit us in on a short time frame. My husband and I were very impressed with how experienced and knowledgeable you were about the market, how professional you were in setting up and conducting the sale and the extent of your contacts which allowed you to successfully promote the sale. Importantly, you were very respectful of our home during a time that was very hectic and emotional for us as we prepared for our out-of-state move.

We were very pleased with the results of the sale and more than appreciative of your follow up in taking care of those things that did not sell by arranging for their donation or disposal. In short, we did not have to worry about anything, which relieved us of the stress we would otherwise have had to experience.

We have told many of our friends about your services and would highly recommend you to others that are in need of an estate or moving sale. Thank you again for helping to make our move a more enjoyable experience!”

“My husband, Bill, and I have hired Cecilee Stone (Designs by Cec) on several occasions. Her work has exceeded our expectations each time.
Our first experience with Cecilee was when she managed the clean up of our parents’ home. She executed an estate sale, complete with donation and trash services, of this very large home. She was organized, efficient, and communicated well the entire project, as well as being very reasonable priced.
The second experience was entirely different, yet Cecilee did an equally wonderful job. She coordinated the remodel of our basement. This included hiring workers, picking out surfaces and fixtures, and overseeing the work. Again, she was fair and reasonable with pricing, and did a fabulous job.
We recently hired Cecilee again to oversee the clean up of an apartment. She did all that was asked of her with very short notice.
Cecilee will be our first thought if we need help again – in a variety of circumstances. We won’t hesitate to hire her, and we frequently recommend her to friends.”

I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude and strong recommendation for Designs by Cec, led by Cecilee Stone, who provided exceptional service during a challenging period in my life. After the loss of both of my parents within less than two years, I was faced with the daunting task of managing and selling a significant amount of personal items from their condo. Feeling overwhelmed and unsure of where to begin, I reached out to Designs by Cec, and it turned out to be one of the best decisions I could have made.

From the moment Cecilee arrived, she brought a sense of calm and reassurance. She carefully evaluated the situation and provided me with a clear plan for a successful estate sale. Her confidence was well-placed; the sale was indeed a resounding success. Cecilee’s creative touch in staging the condo transformed it into a boutique-like environment, making each item look exceptionally appealing. The meticulous arrangement and attention to detail were remarkable, far exceeding my expectations.

Throughout the process, Cecilee and her team demonstrated the highest level of professionalism and thoroughness. They systematically went through the items, maximizing the potential of each room in the condo. The photos and marketing efforts they employed reached a broader audience than I could have managed on my own, leading to a highly successful sale. Their approach was both strategic and compassionate, taking charge of the entire sale while keeping me informed and at ease as I dealt with other obligations related to my father's passing.

Beyond the sale itself, Cecilee and her staff handled the post-sale tasks with the same level of care. They organized the removal of the remaining items for donation and ensured the condo was thoroughly cleaned. Their comprehensive service and genuine compassion earned them my highest praise. They truly were my "Dream Team," making a difficult time more manageable and providing care and efficiency that I will always remember.
I cannot thank Cecilee and her team enough for their support during this challenging time. Their exceptional service made a significant difference in my life, and I wholeheartedly recommend Designs by Cec to anyone in need of estate sale services.

Designs by Cecilee is the BEST!!

I would have been completely lost without her. I was moving out of state and leaving my home of 25 years. So many happy memories and fun times raising my family in our home. With all of that joy comes lots and lots of stuff!
Stuff I didn’t know what to do with or where to start organizing. Some treasures and some not so much. I was completely overwhelmed and did not know how to begin to get my house ready for sale and for packing and ultimately moving. Cecilee was recommended to me by a friend and I will be forever grateful to her for introducing Designs by Cec to me. Cecilee and her team came to my rescue helping me through the moving process every step of the way with a smile and great advice along with lots of helpful guidance. Cecilee and her team came in to my home and boy do they know their stuff! So knowledgable on every aspect of the moving process and the value of the items I decided to present in our house sale. She helped guide me through each item-clothes, furniture, art, china, toy etc. and knew exactly how to photograph and market the pieces on her website and even took some of my higher end items to a consignment shop for me. She handled it all. She and her team came in and priced and tagged all of my items and transformed my home into a lovely retail showroom ready for the House Sale weekend. Cecilee has a network of resources in the area for donations, “Junk” removal, consignments… anything I needed to get the job done and make me the most money.

It was a complete pleasure to work with Cecilee and I am forever grateful to her for making a stressful and overwhelming situation into a totally fun experience. A. GuttillaOctober 2024
