Blue Leaf Estate Auctions
reviews and complaints

Buyer Beware.

I have been working with "Rowlan" for the past five days, preparing for the auction Rowlan said would be conducted next week. He initially said he would come to Tucson from Phoenix on Monday to take his own photos, and then wanted to switch to Tuesday, but we had a conflicting morning appointment. And then finally on Wednesday (tomorrow). And then finally, after ignoring my multiple text messages, "Stephanie" calls and says she doesn't want to "disappoint" us and that she doesn't think they will be able to work with us to sell the equipment from the family business that closed 5 weeks ago.

I'm sure from Stephanie's point of view, this is no harm, no foul. But when someone tells you clearly, both verbally and in writing as I did that TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE, and then you back out after five days of wasted effort, there is absolutely a "foul". I will at least credit Stephanie and to a lesser extent Rowlan for not continuing leading us on as to their intentions.

I will tell you also that I began to be concerned nearly from the start, when Rowlan did not call me back as he said he would. But I didn't make an issue of this and attributed it to possible miscommunication. But as the days wore on, the level of responsiveness became increasingly concerning. Finally yesterday, I began to do searches of reviews for Blue Leaf Auctions. I would strongly advise you to do the same before signing a contract with Blue Leaf Auctions.

You may have a perfectly wonderful experience with Rowlan and Stephanie. But beware of the warning signs of unprofessional and inadequate communication and promises unfulfilled. My feedback for Rowlan is to be more forthright and direct and communicate sooner. Perhaps also consider the axiom to under promise and over deliver, instead of the other way around.

UPDATE: We absolutely did not "have a sale". What we did is post pictures and share them with people in preparation. Not one single item has been sold. (Sounds rather like a "sour grapes" potshot to bring up the never-before-mentioned fact that we posted pictures, does it not?)

Look online at the reviews, and you will begin to see a pattern. The "hidden" reviews on Yelp are telling, as is the "C" rating with the Better Business Bureau. Rowlan may be a heluva auctioneer, and you may have a great experience, but enter with your eyes wide open is my recommendation.
