What Our Customers Are Saying:
Now that the dust has settled we thought we'd take some time to let you know how lucky we feel that Terri Peters & Associates was available to take on the task of managing our two day estate auction. It was a very big job that we did not look forward to in the least, but after meeting with your representative Tim for an hour or so it became clear that getting the work done would not only have a positive outcome, but would be a valuable and enjoyable experience as well. We started out with a house full of just stuff, but soon learned that each of the items could have an interesting story to tell, no matter how much or how little it was worth. Your ability to organize and promote the sale with informed and accurate descriptions was crucial in letting buyers discover all the delightful opportunities. And just the logistics of it all! It was great watching everything fall into place so efficiently with so little confusion or wasted effort. It all comes down to experience, expertise, and integrity. There are plenty of folks that make an honest effort and still come up short, but you really made it happen!

When my mother passed away, I was living out of state and left with a very large, old house crammed with three generations of accumulation. I found Terri Peters and Associates through a recommendation and had a good feeling about them from the first time I met with them. They took the time to understand my needs and worries about this very overwhelming job. They handled the estate liquidation from start to finish with respect and extraordinary effort. The sale itself was a huge success and their follow-up on the cleaning and securing of the empty house went way beyond what I expected. I couldn't have been happier with them and the entire process.

"When I had to liquidate my family's 17th, 18th and 19th century antiques in addition to some of my own personal oriental antiques I turned to Terri Peters & Associates. I was very please with the research Terri Peters & Associates did regarding my family's items. Prior to, during and after the sale Terri was always available to answer questions at any time. The team that came to pick up my items were caring, careful and eager to answer any and all quetions too. It has been a very difficult time for my brother and I, losing a parent and then very shortly afterward having to liquidate the entire family estate. Terri's abiity to advertise the sale the way they did across the country and around the world was excellent. People could bid from their homes via the internet, in person, by phone or absentee bid. The auction was also streamed live on the internet getting interested bidders from around the world to bid. When my friend asked me who was handling our estate items and I told her "Terri Peters-McGraw from Terri Peters & Associates" she hugged me and said I was in good hands. I am thankful for all that they did for me during this most difficult time."
- Polly H. | Baldwinsville, New York -
A week ago today I had a wonderful experience working with Terri Peters and Associates. I cannot remember when the last time that I met such a pleasant, professional, knowledgeable group of people. From the first time I spoke to Terri on the phone to the end of the auction she was amazing. I would suggest that if anyone is thinking about selling or buying antiques, or having an auction call her. You will have a wonderful time.

We engaged Terri Peters & Associates to market and ultimately sell our home furnishings through an estate sale in June of this year. Many of the furnishings were contemporary high-end designer label items acquired over the years from American, Canadian and European studios. We knew the used market for contemporary furniture was very limited, particularly in Syracuse and upstate New York. We chose Terri because of her marketing capabilities across a number of traditional channels and high technology social networks. We were pleased with the number of contacts she made including international buyers. She worked very hard for us and always with a personal touch.
- Jim & Lorraine E. | Fayetteville, New York -
Thank you so much for all of the help you and your company gave me while dealing with my parent's estate. It was a difficult job that was made easy due to your professionalism. You came with an expertise in the area of art and antiques that was most helpful, as well as being able to deal with an extensive library and general household items. Your ability to take care of the entire estate was important. I had limited time and you managed to handle it all without a hitch. All of your staff was courteous and prompt. What more could I have asked for? I would not hesitate to recommend you to others!
- Carol P. E. | Dewitt, New York -
When my Dad passed away, my family asked Terri Peters & Associates to appraise the estate. Terri and her representatives were very professional and very thorough. They took the time and went through every room in the house, a large four story colonial. They explained how their auction consignments and sales work and the process of holding an auction. We greatly appreciated all their efforts. They sold everything we chose from my Dad's house and promptly paid my family from the auction sale. I would highly recommend Terri Peters & Associates for home estate sales, as well as auctions and consignments. They are true professionals, very courteous and helpful!
- Maureen G. | Baldwinsville, New York -
"Terri and her Associates did an incredible job selling the many items in my Waterford Woods Home in Fayetteville, NY. She and her staff staged the house beautifully so that my items were visable and desirable to those who came to purchase the art, furniture, household items, knick-knacks, mirrors, etc. She took care of everything from start to finish and the whole experience was seamless! She cleared out the house after the sale was completed and removed whatever was left so that I didn't have to do anything! She and her staff were professional and trustworthy, and I would hire her again in a heartbeat!"
- Mindy L. | Fayetteville, New York -
"After visiting Terri Peters and Associates at one of their appraisal events at their Manlius location, I decided to consign an item with them. Their professional and knowledgeable team is quite accomplished. The fact that they were very serious and diligent in not only the research of my piece, but also searched for buyers around the world was very impressive to me. They went above and beyond with their communication as well. When new information became available, they kept me updated via phone calls and email. From my initial visit, the consignment, then my compensation, the process was quite expedient. Terri Peters and Associates is a phenomenal team and come highly recommended by me!"

Terri Peters & Associates Auction and Estate Marketing perform with spirit and professionalism. My seller of a beautiful 3200 sq ft home had signed a contract with a questionable outfit claiming to have experience with estate sales. What a mistake that was but we were able to break free. We were fortunate that Terri and her team could find time for us. They saved the sale. There were buyers from near and far and they kept coming the whole day. I don't know how she does it but that house was virtually cleared out in about 6 hours. She wasn't giving away the farm either; items were sold at a fair market price for a decent net to my seller. I highly recommend her and her team. Terri Peters & Associates Auction and Estate Marketing. Once again we are grateful to you and your team for a job well done!
- Realtor Geoff W. | Syracuse, New York -
I just wanted to tell you how smoothly selling the house through you went. My sister & I thought selling the house after our father died would be difficult because we both lived so far away. We thank you for handling the estate sale, clean out, prepping the house for sale and conducting the real estate auction. What we thought would take many months was done in less than two.
- Edward J. B. | Waynesboro, Georgia -
I contracted with Terri McGraw of Terri Peters & Associates to assist me in clearing my mother's home of 49 years. It included antiques as well as general household items. Terri and her associates were very professional in handling the entire process and were very patient with my concerns. The estate sale went well and within a week of the sale, my mother's home was cleared of all items. I would highly recommend Terri Peters and Associates and I am grateful for all their hard work.
- Dr. Casey B. | Skaneateles, New York -
Terri Peters-McGraw was a life saver for me! I sold my house and needed to close in 10 days. I was really in a bind. She immediately realized the depth of my problem and swung into action, like a superhero! She arranged for the auction facilities on site, staged my entire home and marketed my properties bringing in hundreds of interested buyers with incredibly short notice! Terri took responsibility and handled the whole show, taking the weight off my shoulders! The event went off seamlessly and the house was ready to close the day after the auction. Thanks millions!

"When my dad passed we had no idea what to do with all the furniture and belongs he and my mom acquired over the years - 63 to be exact. We posted items on E-Bay / Craig's list, people scheduled appointments, many said they'd get back to us or were no shows. We would follow-up with the phone number they provided to us which were either 'fake' numbers or our calls would not be responded to. My brother and I did not have time nor the energy to do a estate / garage sale, so I went online looking for help and came upon Terri Peters and Associates. Terri met with us and did an assessment of what we had. Shortly thereafter, we were provided a quote for the sale & removal of ALL items. Within a few weeks the entire contents of the house were removed, with a few of the more old and unique items going to her sight for auction or consignment. Also, because Terri is a real estate agent as well…she was able to handle the personal property and the real estate. Her team contacted us within 24 hours and they got us the best-selling price for my dad’s home. This helped us from having to yellow-page shot and the stress of hoping we picked the right real estate agent to work for us. I cannot say enough about Terri Peters! She was always available for questions and took the time out of her busy day to answer them, either by a phone call, text or e-mail. This lady never rests. Would I recommend Terri Peters and Associates? Absolutely!!!! I can guarantee you will get the same professional service as we did!"

After 40 years of accumulating furniture and other household items that each had a story behind them, we decided to start a new life 2400 miles away in southern Arizona. We called Terri Peters and Associates to take care of the sale of most of our memories in the form of our things. They were respectful and careful, taking time to research the value of each item, and catalogue them. They didn’t try to persuade us to sell the items we wanted to keep, and showcased what we had, very carefully. Some of the larger items didn’t sell on the day of the sale, but Terri continued to negotiate with buyers for 10 days after the sale, succeeding in finding homes for most of them. On the day of the sale, they had a good crew of people here to monitor our home and help the large number of buyers with their purchases. They were always cheerful, helpful and friendly with us, and always available by phone to answer our questions and concerns, returning phone calls promptly if not immediately there. Terri itemized for us a printed copy listing each of 400 items with their sale price. She was careful in her accounting and settled up with us promptly. I found her and her associates to be completely honest, professional, careful and pleasant to work with. They made a difficult time in our lives rewarding, as we took care of finding homes for so many things, and made new friends in the process!
- Dan & Judy G. | Waterville, New York -
With very short notice and one request, "sell everything", Terri and her crew did just that! Working with Terri Peters and Associates helped make my move so much easier! From preparing the home, staging, and holding the sale, every detail was covered and the results were a testament to their hard work. My friends and family could not believe that we could conduct an entire house sale and close on the house the next day. Thanks Terri!
- Gary V. | Cazenovia, New York -
Terri Peters & Associates arranged a bulk sale auction for the contents of a home in Liverpool, NY for me. At first, I was concerned about how this would work as I now live out of town and the house had to be empty prior to closing. Terri was very professional, handled all the details, kept me apprised of what was happening and her follow-up was terrific. Iwould highly recommend Terri and her firm to anyone considering an estate sale or auction.
- Kelly M. | Raleigh, North Carolina -
My experience with Terri Peters & Associates was amazing! Living 250 miles away, it was difficult for us to sell or dispose of the contents of my parents house. Terri took care of everything! They arranged for the sale of the contents of the house as well as the sale of the house itself. In just over a months time, they had open houses and marketed the sale of the house and its contents throughout the area. They found a qualified buyer for all the contents and the house. Terri Peters & Associates eased much of the pressure of trying to figure out what to do in a difficult situation.
- Michael A. S. | Somerset, New Jersey -
The Best auction house on the planet! Honest efficient great merchandise! They take care of business the right way! A zillion stars for this professional company who care like an ‘Old Fashion Mom & Pop Store’. Thanks so much for an easy fun experience.
- Kathy D. | Online Auction Buyer -
We had an excellent experience with Terri Peters and her team. My family no longer lives in the area and we needed to sell my mom’s house and belongings after she passed away. We also needed to completely empty the house and get it broom clean for closing when it sold (which it did VERY quickly). Terri handled everything! She made the process very easy for us! She had an excellent realtor working with her on the house sale. Terri was professional, organized, responsive and a pleasure to work with. I really don’t know how we would have done everything from afar without her! I highly recommend her!
- Lisa M. | Syracuse, New York -
If you hire Terri Peters & Associates to run an estate sale for you know that you are in good hands. Not only is she extremely professional, she is very knowledgable about the value of the items she is selling for the homeowners. We have been to several of her estate sales and the quality of the items she sells is top notch. She offers fair prices and has always been a pleasure to deal with. In addition, every sale I have attended is organized beautifully and each experience has been a positive one. Without hesitation I would recommend Terri and her staff for your estate sale needs.
- Kathryn S. | Syracuse, New York -
We were so very fortunate to have found Terri Peters! We had inherited some antique porcelain statues that we wanted to sell and we had been looking for the optimum venue for quite awhile. We contacted Terri and after meeting with her, we decided to have her list them in an upcoming auction. Terri and her staff are incredibly knowledgeable, and they went out of their way advertise the pieces globally. Terri and her associates were able to get us the best price we could ever have hoped for. She really goes out of her way to provide the best for her clients. We were so pleased with her professionalism. We will definitely do business with her again!
- Elizabeth G. | Syracuse, New York -
