Estate Sales and Clean Outs by X Marks The Spot

Mark (X marks the Spot) did an excellent job cleaning out and preparing for sale, my deceased mother in law’s apartment in the Meadows complex. There was a great deal of very heavy furniture along with a lot of unwanted “stuff” that had to be removed from her second-floor apartment.
Mark was thorough, very polite and kind. He was also very respectful with the contents of the apartment. Per our wishes, donating what could not be sold.
I very highly recommend him.

Mark and his son Luke were amazing to work with. I honestly don't have enough kinds words to say about them and the work they did for me and my family.

My dad past away over 2 years ago and after a protracted probate process we were finally able to take control of his house, which was vacant, packed (hoarder style) with tons of personal and business related items, infested with rodents and suffering from a mold problem! I live out of state and could not manage the clean out of the house let alone the day-to-day issues that came up. Mark and his son became like an extension of our family. They braved the moldy rodent infestation; using as much, if not more, care than we would have to locate and preserve personal family momentos and heirlooms. Mark was even able to jump in and help get the power turned back on when it was accidentally turned off due to pending demolition. I can't imagine what I would have done without them - a true God send! I would and will recommend X Marks the Spot to everyone that needs this kind of service.

Mark is also a real estate agent that specializes in estate sales. While I had already hired a realtor by the time I hired Mark for estate management, he was still able to provide some sound advice and guidance to me as I went through the sales process. If I could get a do over, I would have hired him to sell the property as well.

We stumbled across the reviews for Mark’s business while looking for an estate manager for our 11,000 square foot warehouse. He responded to our inquiry within the same day and requested detailed photos, then drew up a custom proposal for us within the week.

Our late father’s warehouse was filled to the brim with 40 years of invoices, architectural plans, business documents, and paperwork. Mixed in with these business assets were priceless historical family photographs, immigration documents, antique and vintage items, and family heirlooms. And these treasures were hidden underneath piles of dusty papers, or 16 feet in the air, or behind a dangerous stack of razor sharp blades, or under a family of rodents. Luckily, none of these obstacles deterred Mark from his work.

We quickly realized that Mark was going to leave no stone unturned for us. He and his team worked through sawdust, regular dust, fly traps, rat traps, live rats, mice, cockroaches in an ice cold building, night and day for a week, to dig out every single valuable item. They rigged difficult to reach items themselves, crawled over huge trash dumpsters, dealt with live electrical wiring and did it all in record time. Within one week, our packed warehouse was left broom clean and our items were neatly stored in clear bins.

Throughout the process, Mark answered all questions speedily, kept us informed with up to the hour updates, and handled all of our items with extreme care. He found amazing documents that we would have missed hidden under piles of paperwork. He and his family were genuine, kind, and professional. We are so happy with the result.

Mark, I cannot thank you enough. Thanks for the peace of mind, and for handling our family’s things with the best care. You, like my dad, are the best in the business.

Mark has been a Godsend to our family - literally! I was in a precarious situation that I had to extract my Mom and move her out of state near me to be cared for very quickly leaving most all of her furnishings, junk, trash, and belongings behind. The house and garage were in a VERY deteriorated, devastated state and were filled with a TON of unorganized junk with nicer items and antiques underneath.This was a HUGE job to get the house and garage emptied. Mark sold and donated her items in a respectful manner, sorted through remaining papers, brought in a dumpster to remove junk, cleaned, cleaned, and cleaned again. He staged the house to be sold and left some of her nicer items in the house. He did all of this in our agreed timeframe. Mark was extremely professional, compassionate to my situation, and made the house look better than it has looked in 30 years! I can't endorse Mark enough. We are so thankful that we found him through Google. Hire him today!

Mark is person of high integrity, very personable, understanding, compassionate, thorough, trustworthy, and loves the work that he does.he made what would be an otherwise stressful task east and seamless. Mark even disassembled the family table and brought it to ups for me for shipping. He has a method that worked and has vendors for sales of personal materials. If he found anything that could be personal or value he checked in with us regularly to ask what we would like to do with the items. Mark and his family are truly one of a kind. I would say with 100% certainty that hiring Mark to run your estate sale and clean out is 100% worth it for peace of mind with your personal items and home. It’s well worth the investment! Thank you Mark! We couldn’t have done this with out you!
