What people are saying

Moving is hard enough without having to navigate all of the minutiae of what to do with the stuff you aren’t taking with you. My advice? Hire Linda Berz. Linda came in and evaluated everything I wasn’t taking with me to my new home and made recommendations about what to sell and what to donate. She shared resources for donations and researched values of items I was hoping to sell so I could make educated decisions. She created spreadsheets, photographed each item, and listed them for sale on the appropriate platforms. She managed all of the inquiries about the items and negotiated sale prices. Truly I could not have done it all without her help and expertise. I moved without having to pay to store any items as Linda strategized price points to get things sold. She communicated regularly, kept me updated about progress, and made sure I received payment promptly. I highly recommend her services for anyone moving, downsizing, or clearing out a parent’s home. You won’t regret having the expert support as you navigate this Herculean task.

For years we were paralyzed by the daunting and emotional process of selling many things we had grown up with or become so familiar with - furniture, art, and objects from our parents' houses or things we picked up along the way raising our own family.  And all the while we kept paying the storage bills, month after month after month.  Linda helped us break the paralysis so we could begin selling our things, knowing they were finding good homes with people who would care for them and not treat them like fraternity furniture.  The planing, organizing, photographing, pricing, listing, and negotiating - Linda is there every step of the way.  With Linda's help, we've dramatically lowered our storage costs, received fair value for the items we sold, all the while minimizing our stress through the process.  I wish we had started working with Linda sooner!

 As an empty nester embarking on a new life in a new city in a new relationship, Linda was my superwoman who lifted the weight off me literally and figuratively. Not only did she make, implement, and supervise all the complicated time-intensive  logistical arrangements for an oversized custom dining room table, a grand piano, and 20 years worth of furniture, she also treated me with the utmost kindness, consideration, and empathy fully aware of the intensity and enormity of this big transition. I felt so held and cared for in her strong capable hands.

My clients hire me to create beautiful new spaces. We are often presented with a challenge: what do we do with their existing, often expensive furnishings? Our go-to is Linda at TheCondo12A . She is able to find loving homes for these pieces - usually at a high price point - which then allows me to choose the perfect piece for my client. It’s a Win-Win!

When we were downsizing from a house to an apartment, Linda helped us sell furniture that wouldn’t fit. She was totally full service, from researching the background regarding designers and pricing for our things, to photographing and writing excellent descriptions of each piece, to posting on the best websites, to handling all sales transactions and shipments. We actually wound up getting the full price we had paid for 12-year-old furniture that was in mint condition and sold all of it quickly. Linda is so professional and I would recommend her to anyone.

  Linda was challenged with selling a Chicago apartment full of gently used furnishings before my move to Arizona.  My initial meeting with her put me at ease.  She discussed options and plotted out a plan of action.  She has a wealth of knowledge and resources to put your items in front of real buyers.  All transactions were handled professionally and efficiently.  I was amazed at her ability to sell items that I tried to list and sell on my own with dismal results.  I would highly recommend using her to sell your household valuables.

Linda helped us sell a couch to make room for a new purchase. She took care of every detail and made the process so easy! She is conscientious, efficient, knowledgeable and pleasure to work with. I can’t recommend her highly enough.

I was overwhelmed when I inherited several boxes of silver serving pieces and décor. I didn’t have the space or need for the items. I knew many of the pieces were valuable but I didn’t have the time or know-how to sell them. A friend recommended Linda at The Condo 12A. She came over to appraise the items. She was knowledgeable, professional and friendly and she sold every last piece and got great prices! She took care of it all. I’m afraid I’d still be sitting on those boxes if it hadn’t been for The Condo 12A.
