Caring Transitions Scam artists

Reading these reviews brings back lot sadness and regrets. While it is too late for my family, I sincerely hope that these reviews along with mine will discourage others from making a huge mistake by entering into a contract with these con artists. These snakes prey on the emotions that are common with individuals or families that are going through the heartbreak of losing a loved one, or relocating from a long time residence.

The owners of these franchises

have obviously been trained to use the same technique during their sales pitch. They dupe the owners of the property by telling them exactly what they want to hear and making promises that will not be kept. They assure their victims that everything will be categorized, evaluated for pricing, and that most of the more expensive items will be auctioned on line to maximize sales.

We watched as many items were carefully packed into boxes in preparation for the on line auction. The boxed items were taken away to never be seen again. The promised on line auction never occurred.

A few of the antique furniture items that held figurines were left in the home to display items for sale. The furniture displaying these items were clearly marked “CABINET IS NOT FOR SALE”, yet they were sold anyway.

Absolutely no accountability was given for anything that sold. No description or selling price was provided for a single item sold. The items that were boxed for the on line auction were supposedly sold in lots at the estate rather than on line, yet there is no accountability.

An extensive collection of carpenter, mechanic, lawn, and garden tools were liquidated with absolutely no accountability.

The property accumulated over a marriage of 69 years resulted in payment of less than $4,000.

Please do not let these frauds plunder your family’s possessions. Do not sign any contract without having an attorney review it. I assure you that investing a few hundred dollars in professional fees will save you thousands of dollars as well as a lot of regret and heartache. The contract they have you sign is nothing more than a license for them to steal.

Caring Transitions Do Not Use This Firm

It is unfortunate that I have to write this negative review of this business. They come across as nice, caring, helpful people but in the end they are not. My experience was painful and dishonorable to my lost loved one. They spoke of honoring her memory and carefully sorting her things. Instead, they, without consulting the family, donated, threw away, or otherwise got rid of the bulk of her estate and sorted just enough of value to cover their costs. Adding insult to injury, after informing the family that all of the inventory had been unknowingly disposed of and the sale had netted no profit at all, this firm tried to extort more money from this grieving family in the form of previously undisclosed additional fees. Shameful, unethical behaviors in my opinion. Like wolves in sheep’s clothing who promise joint rewards but then rob you of it all. My recommendation is don’t let this company rob you too.

Recommendation: Stay Away!!

Caring Transitions Addressing Negative Review of Caring Transitions: Don't Let One Bad Egg Spoil the Bunch

I have to say, it is incredibly disheartening to read such a negative review about Caring Transitions. It's clear that this individual had a very unpleasant experience with one of the franchisees in Denver, and it's sad to see how it impacted their opinion of the entire organization.

As someone who works in the senior care industry, I know how important it is to have trustworthy and reliable companies that provide services for families who are dealing with all sorts of life transitions. It's truly disappointing to see that this particular franchisee was able to tarnish the reputation of a larger organization that is dedicated to helping others during difficult times.

That being said, it's important to remember that not all franchisees are created equal. It's up to each individual franchise owner to uphold the standards and ideals that are expected of them. It sounds like the individual who wrote this review had an experience that was truly unacceptable, but I'd encourage anyone who is considering using Caring Transitions to not let this one bad experience taint their perception of the entire organization.

It's also worth noting that the comment about the company taking "every penny" of the estate proceeds is certainly not representative of the policies and procedures that Caring Transitions has in place. In fact, part of the company's mission is to help families maximize their returns during estate sales and downsizing events.

In the grand scheme of things, I can see how this negative experience could be tremendously frustrating and disheartening. However, I do think it's important to remember that the actions of one franchise should not eclipse the good work and positive experiences that many others have had with Caring Transitions. At the end of the day, it's up to families to do their research and choose a partner that they feel they can trust to handle their estate sales, downsizing, and other needs with care and compassion.

Caring Transitions Overall Positive Review of Caring Transitions, with a caveat on their auction platform

Caring Transitions is an online platform that offers a range of services for people who need help downsizing, liquidating their belongings, and moving to new locations. Their website is user-friendly and offers a variety of helpful resources to guide users through the process of utilizing their services.

However, one unfortunate incident marred my otherwise positive experience with Caring Transitions. I purchased an item through their online auction system, but it took quite a long time to hear back from the seller regarding the shipping details. After 14 days of waiting, I became frustrated and decided to retract my bid and request a refund through my credit card company.

This decision prompted a response from the seller, who accused me of violating their terms and conditions and suggested that I had not read their instructions carefully. While I understand that miscommunications can happen, I was disappointed by the seller's accusatory tone and felt that she was not taking responsibility for the delay in shipping my item.

Despite this setback, I believe that Caring Transitions has a lot to offer to people who need assistance with their moves and estate sales. Their website is informative and easy to navigate, and their team seems dedicated to helping their clients achieve their goals in a timely and professional manner. I would recommend their services to others, with the caveat that they should be cautious when dealing with individual sellers on their auction platform.

Caring Transitions Review of Caring Transitions: Great Cleaning Services, But Is Their Online Auction Worth It?

I recently had the pleasure of working with Caring Transitions, a company that specializes in estate sales and home clean-outs. I hired them to help me clear out my mother's home, which can be a daunting task for anyone, and I was not disappointed with their work. The team did an excellent job with the clean-out, leaving me with a spotless and organized space.

However, when it comes to having them auction off your family's home contents, I would have to say that it's not worth it. While my parents' home had some truly beautiful antiques and collectibles, we unfortunately made very little profit from the sale of these items. I was disappointed to learn that Caring Transitions did not have the robust online audience I was hoping for, which likely contributed to the lack of profitability.

In the end, I felt that Caring Transitions made more money than I did, which left me with an additional bill to pay them. As someone who was going through this process in order to care for a loved one in a nursing home, this was not an ideal outcome.

For those who may be considering using Caring Transitions, I would recommend doing some research first to find out if their online audience is a good fit for your particular items. Below are just a few examples of the items my family had from our home and what they sold for at auction: A rocker was sold for only $20, while an antique Victorian parlor table only fetched $25. Overall, while I was pleased with the cleaning services provided by Caring Transitions, I would caution others about using their auction services unless they are absolutely certain it will be worth their while financially.

Caring Transitions Caring Transitions: Unethical Behavior and Exploitation

I recently had an unfortunate experience with a company called Caring Transitions and felt compelled to share my thoughts. In my opinion, this company engages in what can only be described as dishonest and manipulative behavior. When faced with the difficult task of dealing with the belongings of a recently deceased family member, we trusted them to provide us with a fair and ethical service. Unfortunately, this was not the case.

To our dismay, Caring Transitions chose to "auction off" two entire rooms of furniture, along with various kitchen items and appliances, including a rare china set and unused flatware that were still in their original packaging. We were shocked to discover that they sold all of these items for less than $80. Not only was this amount far lower than what we had expected, but it also demonstrated that Caring Transitions was solely interested in making a profit at our expense.

Adding insult to injury, Caring Transitions did not even have the decency to inform us when the auction would take place. When we called to inquire, we were told that the auction had already happened, and that they were not legally obligated to provide us with information about upcoming auctions. We were left feeling exploited and helpless at a time when we were already wrestling with grief.

I cannot begin to express how disturbing and unethical I found Caring Transitions' actions to be. Funeral arrangements and estate planning are already emotionally charged and stressful events, and to have a company take advantage of one's vulnerability is simply unconscionable. In my opinion, this company should be avoided at all costs. I urge anyone considering their services to seek a different, more honest provider, given the importance of protecting your loved ones during this vulnerable period.

Caring Transitions False advertising and poor customer service at Caring Transitions sale

I recently had an experience with Caring Transitions that I feel compelled to share. I drove over 30 minutes to attend their 1-day sale, eager to get my hands on some beautiful jewelry that was advertised on their website. Unfortunately, when I arrived, I found that the store was not yet open and I had to wait in line for 2 hours before anyone showed up to let us in.

To add insult to injury, when both the person in front of me and I finally made it inside, we were disappointed to find that the jewelry we had been excited about was nowhere to be found. When we asked the staff about it, they assured us that everything was there, but we couldn't see any of it.

It wasn't until the person in front of me went to pay that I saw a note in the staff's pad that said there was $200 worth of jewelry that had already been pre-sold before the store even opened at 9 am. This is clearly false advertising, and it felt like a waste of my time and gas money to have been led on like this.

To make matters worse, when I tried to air my grievances with the company, they were completely unresponsive and dismissive of my concerns. This is not the way a reputable company should treat their customers, and it's no surprise that they have a poor rating.

I am now exploring the possibility of taking Caring Transitions to small claims court in California, as I feel like they have done me a great disservice. I would advise other potential customers to approach this company with caution, as my experience has left me deeply disappointed.

Caring Transitions Terrible Experience with Caring Transitions: Lack of Communication and Professionalism

My experience with Caring Transitions was truly terrible. As I moved to sort, organize and sell the many boxes filled with memories left behind by my mother, grandmother, and Great-Grandmother, I called upon the Parker Colorado franchise for assistance. Unfortunately, my hopes were soon dashed.
When the owner, Sue Hawk, came to my home, she seemed uninterested in the items displayed before her and immediately proclaimed that nothing she saw was worth anything. After going through a few heirlooms and antiques, she promised to send a proposal via email, which never arrived. It quickly became clear that she felt there was not enough money to be made in the process, and rather than being upfront with me about it, she simply ignored me.
This lack of communication and professionalism is not what I had hoped for from a caring transitioning company. I was left feeling hopeless and stuck with boxes of items that I did not know what to do with. I would not recommend this company to anyone looking for help with the often overwhelming task of downsizing and organizing.

Caring Transitions Customer Service Fails: A Disappointing Experience with a Home Goods Business

I recently had an unfortunate experience with a certain business while trying to buy items for my home. I visited their garage sale and was disappointed to find that the "regular store merchants" were given preference over other customers, causing a backup that resulted in a long and wet wait. To add to the frustration, when my turn finally came to select an item, I was dismayed to find that it was covered in dust and in poor condition.

Despite this disappointing experience, I decided to give the business another chance by visiting their physical location. Unfortunately, I encountered further issues when their incorrect street name caused me to become lost and confused. When I finally arrived, I was greeted by an employee who seemed unwilling to let me retrieve my previously purchased item even though it was early. I did eventually receive my item, but the entire experience left me feeling frustrated and unappreciated as a customer.

All of these factors combined lead me to take my business elsewhere and I do not plan to return. It is disappointing to see a business not treat all their customers equally and provide poor service. I hope they take the necessary steps to improve their practices in the future.

Caring Transitions Unpleasant Experience with Caring Transitions: A Review

The experience I had with Caring Transitions (caringtransitions.com) was extremely unpleasant and I feel compelled to share my thoughts with others. I was incredibly disappointed by the services provided by the company, and it resulted in significant frustration and inconvenience for me.

Firstly, I had expected them to sell some of my larger items such as my beloved couch, loveseat, and chair, which they failed to do. Unfortunately, it didn't end there. I was shocked to find out that they had dumped another client's garbage at my house without any explanation or care, as the house was being bulldozed.

On top of that, they threw all my belongings into tubs and sold them in bulk items. They even took mattresses that I had stored in an outdoor building and left them outside to be ruined by the rain. To make matters worse, I was informed that any items that were not sold would be donated to charity, which did not happen at all. When I raised my concerns about all these issues, they dismissed my concerns and stated that my items were not valuable enough to sell and charities would not accept them.

As if that wasn't enough, I also discovered that an ice maker and four wheels of my property were missing, which only added to my frustrations. And to my surprise, they had the audacity to send me a bill for their unsatisfactory services. Clearly, I refuse to pay for the subpar efforts that they carried out.

To conclude, I would recommend that anyone who intends to work with Caring Transitions should think twice. The experience was not only upsetting but also a waste of resources. The services that they provide are a far cry from what they advertise.

Caring Transitions Disappointing and Disheartening Experience with Caring Transitions: Lack of Care and Compassion for Elderly Clients

The experience with Caring Transitions was extremely disappointing and disheartening. The owner/operator of this company demonstrated complete lack of care and compassion towards my elderly, disabled parents during their move to an Assisted Living facility. Their so-called online auction was a complete sham and resulted in my parents' cherished belongings being sold to a "private buyer" for mere pennies on the dollar. This callous person then pocketed the fee from my parents and whatever the "private buyer" offered.

It is deeply concerning to witness this level of insensitivity towards elderly clients who are going through a major life transition. My father, a 76 year old Vietnam War veteran who is 100% disabled, was left in tears from the treatment he received from Caring Transitions. Instead of being supportive and compassionate during this difficult move, my parents were given a cold and careless treatment.

It is simply inexcusable for a company that claims to provide caring transitions to operate in such an unethical manner that prioritizes her own profit over her clients' well-being. Considering this experience, I strongly advise anyone against using Caring Transitions for their services. It is clear that this company lacks the necessary empathy and professionalism to provide the level of care that elderly clients deserve.

Caring Transitions Beware of Caring Transitions: My Disappointing Experience with their Services

I recently had an extremely negative experience with a company called Caring Transitions, and I feel like it is my duty to warn others to stay away. At the outset of our agreement, I was optimistic about their services and agreed to let them handle the sale of some of my belongings. Unfortunately, it quickly became clear that this company was not living up to its name. Not only did I end up losing money, but despite having paid them for services, a significant portion of the job was never completed.

One of the most frustrating parts of this process was dealing with the online auction that was supposed to take place. Despite agreeing to handle the sale of my items, the auction started without all of my items even being listed! Furthermore, despite being promised by Caring Transitions that some of my belongings had fetched high prices, I never saw a penny of that income. This lack of communication and transparency made the experience even more frustrating, and I eventually ended up doing much of the work myself.

Throughout the process, I dealt with numerous no-call-no-shows, which made me feel like my business was not valued at all. This was especially frustrating given that the company seemed to focus on selling to "their friends," rather than honoring their commitments to paying customers. When I tried to get an itemized list of what had sold, I was met with resistance, and was even told that I did not need my house key back, despite not living in the home that was being sold.

Frustration with this company continued after the job was supposed to be completed. I was promised a donation slip and never received one, which meant that I was unable to claim any tax deductions for my charitable contributions. Overall, my experience with Caring Transitions was extremely disappointing, and I would never recommend their services to anyone. I hope that by sharing my story, I can spare others the frustration and heartache that I experienced.
