Family Tree Estates

In my experience, hiring Family Tree Estate Sales (Shane & Jessica Compeau) to handle my late father’s estate in July 2025 was very disappointing. I trusted them during a difficult time and was told the process would be a full, properly advertised estate sale. Instead, the day before, the sale format was changed without my input, and setup was rushed with very little preparation. On the first day of the sale, almost all of my father’s most valuable belongings were gone quickly. His lifetime Snap-on tool collection, specialty tools, and other equipment (worth many thousands of dollars in my view) were listed on receipts as only $945 total for “tools.” In addition, a large amount of Harley-Davidson memorabilia and motorcycle parts were no longer there, yet the receipts I received did not reflect their full value. The receipts were vague, with broad categories like “clothes” or “denim jacket,” and provided little detail about what was sold. By the end of the weekend, every valuable item had been removed, yet the total reported for the sale was surprisingly low. The property was also left in disarray, with items piled in the garage. At payout, I was initially offered 50% instead of the contracted 60%, which was only corrected after I raised the issue. In my opinion, this was a serious disappointment and not the level of service I expected. Families going through grief deserve honesty, transparency, and proper accounting. Based on my experience, I would not recommend Family Tree Estate Sales.
