Testimonials



An Email from Bill and Suzann Erlenbush

Sale held at Old Sawmill Road Bloomington October 29/30, 2021

We were pleased with the proceeds from the estate sale M & J conducted at our home in Bloomington, IL. Susie Ziegler, owner of M & J, is a very pleasant person to work with and does everything she can to accommodate your needs. We found her to be professional and reliable in our dealings with her. She and her staff are very hard workers, and had this large sale ready on time. She tallied the sale proceeds and mailed a check to us within the week following the sale. M & J also conducted a sale for us when my mother passed away ten years ago. Based on our experience with M & J, we would highly recommend them to others.

Suzann & Bill Erlenbush

Thanks again, Susie, for helping us through this process. You took a lot of pressure off of us trying to get it all sold. Happy Holidays to you and your family,


A note from William Rolley and Family

Sale held on Vista Dr in Bloomington September 10/11, 2021

Thank you for everything you did to help us with the estate sale. Your care and understanding through it all was greatly appreciated! Bless You! The Rolley Family


A message from Chris Ellington

Sale conducted ONLINE during Corona virus pandemic in full compliance with State and CDC guidelines

April 8-17, 2020

We could not be happier, and so grateful to you for your industry and determination. There aren't words enough, Suzi. God Bless You.  Review left on Google: They don't come more professional than Suzie! She helped us in crisis, to piggyback a larger sale, then was forced to have her first Online Only sale in the midst of the state shutdown...but her hard work and expertise, often working alone under the worst circumstances, lightened our load and fattened our bank, giving us real hope at a difficult time in life. M & J, has been around forever. There's a reason for that. Professionals like Suzie Zeigler. She, her business, is a lifesaver.


A message from Jean Gorski

Sale held at 2114 Eastgate Place Bloomington on February 28/29, 2020

Thanks so much, Suzie. You were a Godsend. Thanks again for all you did. I can't even imagine this process without your help and guidance. Bless you. Jean
