We can’t say enough and would recommend him to anyone who asks about estate liquidators

Bear helped us clear a very large home with a massive amount of items; obtaining more value from the sales then we thought possible. He was considerate, efficient, and easy to work with, often checking in with us prior to the sale; as well as timely relaying the results. Many friends and family commented during the sale on how well runs the process was. His team handled the large crowd very well. The home was left in great condition. In summary, we can’t say enough and would recommend him to anyone who asks about estate liquidators, and those who don’t.

The process was handled with efficiency, sensitivity and attention to details.

Golden Bear Estate Liquidation was a very good experience from start to finish. As the executor for my Mom's estate, we needed to remove a lifetime of collectables. Expectations were established early on so we knew what was going to happen from intake to final sale. The process was handled with efficiency, sensitivity and attention to details. I endorse Bear as knowledgable and experienced.

You should know that you can just hand the work off to Bear and he will take care of everything.

I learned about Bear from Yelp, so I thought it was important to share my own experience with him here. He is simply the best; in fact, I can't imagine how an estate liquidator could do a better job than Bear. He is friendly, honest, straightforward, hard-working, gets back to you immediately, did an amazing job of organizing and displaying all the many objects in my father's house, and the total sales far exceeded my expectations. Best of all, for anyone who's grieving and feels overwhelmed by the task of clearing a house, you should know that you can just hand the work off to Bear and he will take care of everything. I'm so grateful to him.

Bear Sawtelle is a very knowledgeable, competent, and conscientious professional.

Our family was extremely pleased with the services provided by Golden Bear Estate Liquidators and highly recommend this company to anyone considering an estate sale.
Bear Sawtelle is a very knowledgeable, competent, and conscientious professional. He answered all our questions and provided much insight into the estate sale process so we could make better informed decisions. He delivered all he promised, was punctual, and gave us realistic expectations. His prep following the sale was just as thorough as his prep for the sale - removing items to be donated, and leaving the rest bagged and ready to go to the dump. No doubt his years in the business, marketing ability, his contacts, and research paid off for us - he presented our family with a check that well exceeded our expectations.
We entrusted our family's home and household to him at a very difficult time for us and we have no regrets.

He is well organized and did an excellent job staging the home for the sale.

Collaborating with Golden Bear Estate Liquidation could not have gone better. They went beyond their promise to prepare our home for the estate sale. Bear is knowledgeable and diligent in his willingness to do the necessary research to find the best pricing for his items. He is well organized and did an excellent job staging the home for the sale. He kept us updated on their progress and was able to bring in much more money than we ever expected. To cap things off, he did so much cleaning, the home was in way better shape than when he found it. I cannot thank him and his team enough for all their arduous work. Golden Bear Estate Liquidators has our highest recommendation.

The two day sale was more lucrative than I expected, plus the home was nearly empty and very clean when the sale was completed!

Bear did great work organizing and conducting an estate sale on my uncle's house in El Cerrito.  He spent about two weeks before the sale organizing the contents of the home, identifying the items mostly likely to sell and staging them in a manner that made it easy for customers to move through the home and see what was available.  He worked with my schedule during the setup period, which allowed me to handle the private sale of my uncle's stamp collection.  Prior to the sale, he posted photos of the available items that resulted in a great attendance at the sale. The two day sale was more lucrative than I expected, plus the home was nearly empty and very clean when the sale was completed!  I received the proceeds from the sale within 3 days. Throughout the process, Bear was open to my questions, very professional, personable and always accessible.  Thanks much, Bear!

Bear organized everything and held a successful estate sale very quickly.

Bear came to the rescue. We inherited an almost 3,000 square foot house packed with treasures to be sold, usable items to be donated and yes, some items for the trash. We were overwhelmed and did not know where to start. We needed someone to come in and make the unemotional decisions as to what to sell, donate and toss and Bear did just that. Bear organized everything and held a successful estate sale very quickly. We highly recommend Golden Bear Estate Liquidation!

Thank you Bear for making this such a stress-free experience for our family.

Holding an estate sale of my moms home of over 50 years seemed like such a daunting challenge to me. But not to Bear Sawtelle. He was very professional, organized and knowledgeable and held an amazing sale with a great turnout, and did so in a very quick timeframe. Bear has a large customer base following and I was very impressed with his work from start to finish. I feel like it would have taken me months to accomplish what Bear did in one week! Thank you Bear for making this such a stress-free experience for our family.  I highly recommend Golden Bear Estate Liquidations.

They are professional, prompt, honest (sometimes brutally), and communicate the whole way through the process.

My experience using this company to do my family's estate sale was very positive. I found this five-star company on yelp, and they stay true to their rating. They are professional, prompt, honest (sometimes brutally), and communicate the whole way through the process. He shows up on schedule and will give an honest evaluation, and I found it to be pretty accurate. Keep in mind that nothing is going to turn out exactly perfect, but with the amount of stuff we were dealing with, it went pretty smooth. He also has a huge following and email list, so a very large number of people showed up. The only complaint (neighbor) was that the neighborhood was very busy, lots of cars, but thankfully there's pretty good parking around there. He's very professional and polite. Great job!! Thank you Golden Bear!
