Testimonials
"Jackie Murphy made a difficult time manageable when emptying our mother’s Coral Gables house. Our family had removed the treasures we wanted to keep, but there was so much left. Jackie did everything else – finding a buyer for valuable silver after she polished it, arranging for removal of the remainder of the household items, and then hiring a cleaning crew to ready the house for sale. Frequent updates via text and email, including pictures, kept us informed of her progress. Jackie’s professionalism combined with her gracious personality made it a pleasure to work with her. I highly recommend her services."
"I retained Jackie to assist me with an inventory of a 3,200 sq ft apartment with a LOT of tangible personal property. Jackie was always timely, professional and detail oriented. She listened to what I needed and worked quickly and diligently to provide a detailed report with photographs. I am grateful for her assistance and would not hesitate to use her again and recommend her to colleagues."
"My wife and I recently engaged Jackie Murphy to assist with the distribution of our Uncle's estate. We live out of state and it was not feasible for us to do the job ourselves. Jackie went above and beyond our expectation not only to identify the proper people for appraisals and getting the house ready for sale, but also saw to the distribution of estate property to 13 out-of-town beneficiaries. We highly recommend her and found her sensitivity to the situation admirable. "
"I wanted to thank you again for sending me a clear copy of the inventory from my parents. All of the inventories by everyone else have been incomplete. If the bank had allowed me, I would've hired you to re-inventory the warehouse contents. Your inventory is the only record allowing me to make sense of the items and figure out where they are. I believe it's also going to be really helpful when I go through the last storage facility because I believe it will help me find what's left, as you detailed what's in all the boxes. Thank you also for noting artists on certain items as well as materials, manufacturers and factory markings - it’s made a big difference and it's all very helpful. Thank you again for taking the time to find that document for me. "
"You have helped me settle estates with some very challenging family dynamics and issues. I would not call anyone else to handle personal property for my clients. You are the best. "
"Jackie assisted me in my move to Montevideo, Uruguay. I had a 4 bedroom Miami Beach home filled with art and antique furniture and was concerned about everything getting to South America safely. Jackie set up systems to help me sort through my belongings and had them expertly packed and shipped. She was patient and thorough during my transition. Everything arrived on time and in excellent condition. She was very budget conscious and all was achieved for much less than I anticipated. I cannot recommend Jackie highly enough. "
"I have known Jackie Murphy over 20 years on a personal and professional basis and know her to be an honest and reliable person who operates with integrity. We have collaborated on many projects over the years and her work is always thorough and professional."
"Thank you for your assistance with the administration of the personal memorabilia and archives of my client. Your services have been invaluable. As as result of your diligence, his documents, correspondence, memoirs, etc., will be preserved in accordance with his wishes. It was a pleasure working with you on this matter. "
"I wanted to write and to thank you for the services that you provided to one of my trust clients. Your professionalism in working to develop the confidence of my client was extraordinary. We would have been unable to obtain and sell my client’s jewelry without your help. Jackie, you handled a very difficult family situation with apparent ease. You stood between attorneys on all sides and between a parent and concerned child. This was a complex and very detailed job you assumed. You tied up all loose ends. You accomplished the task. My client was thrilled. You made us look good. Thank you once again. "
"It was the probate attorney who referred me to Jackie Murphy following my sister's sudden death. Jackie handled every detail of disposing of my sister's home items, clothing, and personal effects - through sale and donation - as well as shipping items across the US and internationally. Jackie also got my sister's apartment cleaned and painted before the next rent was due, handled mail and change of address, and much more. Throughout, Jackie kept detailed records and worked with utmost professionalism, all the while maintaining great sensitivity to my grief. I can't recommend Jackie highly enough and am happy to speak with anyone considering hiring her for any area of estate organization and disposal. "
"Jackie has worked on most of our firm's estate clearance cases since 2004 and has done excellent work. I have known Jackie for 25 years and consider her to be of the highest character and integrity. Our firm has only the utmost respect for her. I would be happy to respond to any inquiries. "
"Jackie took something which is normally one of the biggest headaches about probate and handled it with aplomb. She promptly organized the Decedent's personal property, sold and donated what she could and followed the Decedent's wishes with great care. And most importantly, she has two prized qualities all-to-rare in this town: she is responsive and trustworthy. "
"I was appointed Executor of an Estate in the Miami area. The decedent owed a great deal of art, antiques and assorted stuff. Much of the decedent’s more valuable possessions, including a Steinway piano, were bequeathed to named individuals, some local and some out of state. I am a lawyer and I live 4 hours away so I soon realized I would not be able to handle this large project. Jackie met me and my wife at the decedent’s condo and worked with us to come up with a game plan. What items needed to be appraised? Contacting specialized appraisers. What items needed to be packed and shipped? Contacting the persons that inherited various items of personal property and making arrangements to pick up or to ship. Arranging for valuable property to be sold on consignment. Donating items to local thrift stores. Throwing out property that was too damaged or used. Coordinating the thorough cleaning of the apartment. Working with the real estate agent I hired to prepare the apartment for sale. Jackie handled it all in a professional and business like manner. Plus she was a joy to work with, keeping me informed with each step of the process. As a probate attorney, having been involved in many estates, I highly recommend Jackie and her estate liquidation sevices. "
