Estate Sales by Gene & Melissa LaLonde is a family operated organization that
has been serving the Detroit Metropolitan Area for more than 30 years. Originating
with Estate Services by Virginia LaLonde-Pittaway in the late 1970's, our many sales
over the years have given us a vast experience and knowledge of the estate sale and
liquidation process and a deep understanding of the needs and feelings of our clients.
Virginia LaLonde-Pittaway passed away several years ago, but we, her children and
partners, are perpetuating her services and honoring her good name with honesty,
integrity and a genuine concern for our clients needs.
An Estate Sale is generally needed because a loved one has passed away and the
surviving family is then faced with the often heart breaking task of managing the
disposition of a loved one's home and it's contents.
Where do you begin?
We understand deeply how overwhelming this issue can be, both emotionally and
physically, and we are here to help you. We manage and conduct our sales with the
utmost care and respect for you and your loved one's earthly belongings, and we
guarantee that you will be pleased with the results of our services. We are people just
like you, and it is our promise to provide a service that is honest and complete with no
loose ends and no mess for you to clean up afterwards. We will provide you with many
references, and we urge you to contact them. They are people who have used our
services in the past,and we are confident that they will tell you we are trustworthy and
reliable, and that we will provide the service that we promise. It is our references that
we cherish the most because they are our best testimonial. Everyone that works at our
sales is a trusted member of our family, and we keep it that way because we know they
will always do the right thing. There are many other Estate Sale Services to choose
from, and we invite you to contact them and compare their service to ours. We believe
that you will find our service to be the most comprehensive, complete and less costly to
you. Please look at our Services Page for more details, and feel free to contact us at
any time so that we may answer any questions you might have.
We take your needs seriously, and we strive continuously to provide an Estate Sale for
every client as if it were the property of our own dear relative. We like to meet with our
clients in person so that you can see that we are real, normal people, not an impersonal
corporation, and so that you can get to know us as people. We don't view you simply
as a customer, but as a valued client in need, and it is our goal to provide you with the
best personal service possible.
Thank you,
Gene and Melissa LaLonde
