Who is Aces?
An appreciation for what this moment means
We begin every conversation with an understanding that the events leading up to an estate sale are often difficult. Whether you're settling a loved one's estate, downsizing after a big life change, or preparing a home for sale, we're here to carry the weight - and the boxes.
Kate Harrishas been part of this industry since 2001. Her professional organization skills, resale knowledge, and marketing expertise make her a wise choice for your home liquidation - but it's her passion for helping others that sets her apart.
Her work history includes appraising antiques and collectibles, marketing, accounting, and organizing. In 2008 she left the corporate world to found Redress Your Mess, a professional organizing company - organizing everything from closets to working with individuals with hoarding disorders. In 2010 she combined every one of those skills and trained under one of the top estate sale agents in the industry, working on well over 100 sales before opening Aces Estate Sales in March 2015.

Testimonials
What families say about working with us
We're honored by the words clients share - and we'd be glad to connect you with a reference.
“Aces ran an estate sale for us and while I was skeptical of the process from the beginning, they made me a complete believer. Kate is dedicated, diligent, timely, professional. She customizes the sale process to your every need and wish. She and her team did an absolutely amazing job all the way around. I would highly recommend Aces for any and every estate sale need you have. You could not do better.”

Verified client
Household estate sale
“Until Kate, I was not sure I would go through with doing an estate sale. I did not feel they had my best interest at heart. If you are considering hiring Aces to take care of your need for an estate sale, I would say you have picked the cream of the crop in this profession. I would be honored to talk with anyone who would like further information about my experience.”
S. Tabb
Estate sale
“We used Aces Estate Sales in March 2015 to empty the family home prior to a real estate listing. I found this team to be efficient and production oriented, and the overall experience was very pleasant. It was important to me to come back to a completely empty house, garage, and patio the week after the estate sale - and that is what occurred. I would recommend them, and I would hire them again.”
