I interviewed other estate sale companies. I trusted Jake. Outstanding results.
Sharon Borel, Nottingham Estates, Overland Park, KS
It quickly became apparent that I could not single-handedly sort, organize, clean, research, price and sell all of the folks possessions. Cherished Memories came in and took over in a friendly, caring and understanding manner. The estate sale far exceeded my expectations and that is due to the efforts of the trusted, open and honest Cherished Memories team. Thanks, Cherished Memories. I couldn’t have done it without you.

The absolute, most extremely proficient, incredibly skilled & highly intelligent, estate sale agent to trust in Kansas City is Jake. What he did for me & my Leawood home was remarkable. Truly & sincerely, hire him.
Alexis Ellington, Leawood South
Jake did a wonderful job of explaining the whole process and set realistic expectations; by the way he exceeded expectations! He went above and beyond. He truly made a difference in our lives and I’m not overstating.
Ken Belusky, Pinehurst, Overland Park, KS
I was amazed at the time and energy Jake and his staff invested in my parent’s estate sale. It was more than just long hours; it was attention to detail, investigating the true value of each piece. It was time spent getting to know my parents and their story. In the end, the sale was not only a financial success but it was pleasant and stress free. I believe this is a labor of love for Jake.
The Smiths, Prairie Village, KS
Jake understood our desire to downsize. He & his crew spent many hours cleaning, researching, pricing our heirlooms & our “stuff”.
The sale was so successful & professionally run. Jake even reached out to buyers after the sale when some of my Grandmother’s heirlooms didn’t sell & he was able to sell them.
We doubled what we expected to make & ended up using Jake’s wife, Jeannette Leroux, as our realtor. Jake’s crew left our house in Open House condition & Jeannette’s expertise sold our home super fast!!!
We highly recommend Jake! He will honor & respect your valuables & give you top dollar & top service!
Linda & Damon Braly, Prairie Village, KS(Candy Cane Lane)

E. Shannon Estate, Prairie Village, KS
Jake and his crew are the cream of the crop in the estate sale world. They work hard, show up on time and work until the job is finished. They worked very nicely with my varying schedule and I am very impressed with their work ethic and really enjoyed getting to know them. If I ever have the need for their services again, I will not hesitate to call them or to give their name out to friends or family. If you need someone to do what they say and someone you can trust, they are the one’s to hire.
Melinda Duff, Carriage Oaks, Lee’s Summit, MO
On behalf of our family, I want to thank Jake with Cherished Memories for his honest and compassionate management of our parents’ estate sale. We were overwhelmed with the prospects of handling this ourselves! Jake and his team stepped in and quickly and seamlessly identified what needed to happen, and made it so. We were so impressed with the efficiency of his team and his consistent communication to keep us informed of the progress. We will definitely use Jake and his team for our own estate sale, when we decide to move. Thanks Jake!
The Carpenter Family, Cleveland, Missouri
We just wrapped our estate sale with this incredible company. We went in blind and overwhelmed with this process, but Jake and his team were amazing. We highly recommend this company! They worked so hard to take such great care of our loved ones’ treasures. Kept us informed all the way, and they were incredibly nice, too. Great experience.

Jim, Trustee, BK Thurman Estate, Country Lane, KCMO
We recently used Cherished Memories for an estate sale in The Cedar Creek neighborhood in Olathe, Ks. I highly recommend this company. Jake and his wife, Jeannette, and their crew did an exceptional job with our sale. We had been in our home for over 20 years with over 50 years of collected furnishings and accessories. We wanted to downsize. We needed to get rid of a lot of things we had collected over our lifetime (and our parents’ lifetimes), that we no longer had room for. Cherished Memories was the perfect answer for us. Jake and his team made the process very easy. After we removed what we wanted to take with us to our new, smaller home, they came in and got what was left ready to sell. We dreaded the work, but they did everything that needed to be done to get the sale ready and also advertised it creatively and effectively. Jake priced it all, conducted the sale, and afterwards coordinated donating what did not sell and got the house clean and ready to be sold. They treated every item with care. We had a great turnout and a very successful sale. The house was totally empty and clean in 3 days after the end of the sale. Jake then met with us and showed us the results…we were quite pleased. It saved us a lot of effort and turmoil, and we highly recommend them as a company you can trust in what can be a highly stressful time.
Jim and Cherie Stewart, Cedar Creek, Olathe, KS
I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to Jake, Jeannette, and the team. You conducted our estate sale with integrity and compassion. Your sense of organization and eye appeal enhanced sales and was a pleasant surprise to the customers who came to purchase. Comments were heard that they had never seen an estate sale like this one. I can only guess at all the hours of preparation you put into setting up the sale. Everything looked beautiful.
The people in the small town were unsure of a company they did not know, but it did not take you long to win them over and have repeat customers each day. When the customers began bringing homemade cookies for the team and baby bunnies to pet, you know a good relationship had been established.
Thank you for all your hard work and care. Many blessings!
Bev Wisdom, Idaho
Thank you so much for doing a great job on our estate sale! Everyone worked so hard to get it ready on a short timeframe and every piece was beautifully displayed. A very professional job from kind and caring people. You really helped us out and made a big difference in our downsizing move. I can’t thank you enough and would recommend highly to anyone needing an estate sale. Thanks again!
Kristen & William Easley, Leawood, KS
I would highly recommend Cherished Memories Estate Sales. Jake and his crew promised that they would take care of everything and they absolutely did!! Very professional and courteous in every detail. When they were finished, the house was ready to be put on the market the next day! If you want a company to take care of it all, you have found it with Cherished Memories.
Pam & Jerry Diddle, Villas of Fairway Woods, Overland Park, Ks
What a wonderful job you and your workers did on my estate sale! You work so hard cleaning up everything and the displaying was wonderful. I received a lot more money than I thought I would. You did an excellent job for me and I am very appreciative of what you did.

Cherished Memories did a fine and professional job in the handling of my mother’s estate sale. From the initial walk through, contract signing, displaying of items and clean up. Payment was made in a timely manner as well. I highly recommend Jake and his team. Thank you, Jake.
Cathy Stwalley, Nall Hills, Overland Park, Ks
You guys found my military rings and wedding band during the set-up. I thought they were long gone! We had already started the insurance process. You and your team are top notch. Did a great job. Thank you!!!
Gerald Shirrel, Nall Hills, Overland Park, Ks
Cherished Memories got us way more than we thought possible! Very professional & understanding.
Ardis & Don Burley, Westwood Hills, Ks
We feel like Jake was put in our path as an angel from up above. Once Jake started with the Estate Sale, we did not have to worry about anything. Jake is hard-working, honest and very kind. He has established his company and has a following that allows numerous repeat customers to attend his sales. This, in turn, guarantees that you will have a very successful estate sale. Jake and his team were respectful of my parents belongings, uncovering sentimental items we were not aware of. In retrospect, I cannot imagine having anyone else in charge of our estate sale. I am more than satisfied and would recommend Cherished Memories to anyone that needs this service.
Gail E. Herthel, Olathe, KS

Jake with Cherished Memories was so compassionate and diligently careful with every single item he touched.
My parents, even though they are not here, were honored to have Jake do the estate sale. He was so organized and everyone that attended this estate sale made such wonderful comments about how well it was organized and displayed so gracefully. Don’t miss an opportunity to work with him, you won’t be sorry. It was an honor to work with him.

Sara & Phil Hartley, Lee’s Summit, MO
Cherished Memories did the most amazing job I have ever seen! Jake’s team works very hard at organizing everything. Jake outdid himself by the way. He set up my home to execute everything with an estate sale & full cleanout. I called Jake at the last minute; I was very desperate. This company went beyond the call of duty, stepped in and took care of it in such a professional way. I am so thankful that they have honored me the way that they have. This is an amazing company. I would recommend to anyone that needs to have a professional service – these folks here are just that. Very clean and very professional. They made my stuff look so good I wanted to keep it all! I had to keep my hands off of it! Everything looked so good. I will never forget you guys & what you have done for me. It’s been amazing. Thank you!
Darryl McDaniel, Raytown, MO
Hi Jake,
You Are An 11 On a Scale of 1-10! Lyle and I want to thank you & your entire Cherished Memories staff who worked tirelessly to make our sale a success. You took the sale on even with the very tight timeframe. We had to pack and move which meant we were all working beside each other – we were packing and you and your crew were unpacking, setting up and pricing. The timeframe and space concerns looked like a disaster in the making but the experience was a good one with teamwork being the key. We were amazed at how quickly and efficiently your team worked. Our sale was an outstanding success because of your knowledge of odd pieces that we had and how well you priced them. We couldn’t have asked for a better result from a better team. We will highly recommend you and will certainly look forward to doing business with you again. We feel like we are family! Thanks again!
Carolyn & Lyle Koch, Leawood, Kansas
