You should be able to give more than five stars for Jo Nelson-level excellence!
I contracted with Teal Butterfly Design for comprehensive estate liquidation support as the administrator of a complex estate that I was trying to manage from 600 miles away. From our first conversation to our wrapping-up exchanges, Jo was the perfect blend of master professional and compassionate human being. She walked into a grand house that had been abandoned with all utilities cut off for over six months and performed magic. While I worked to get utilities restored, she worked to deal with the effects of months and months of neglect. After removing dumpster loads of debris, she staged the house for successive – and highly successful – sale events.
Her contacts in the industry were essential in getting landscape issues dealt with, having just the right guests to a “by invitation only” ticketed pre-sale, two weekend-long sale events three weeks apart, and finding an auction house willing to take the majority of items that remained unsold.
Throughout, Jo maintained exactly the right balance of take-charge and get-it-done stamina with deliberate outreach to me for sensitive or complicated decisions. The professionalism, integrity, and genuine kindness that I experienced throughout this engagement lead me to recommend Teal Butterfly without hesitation.

Recently, with Jo Nelson’s wonderful efforts & professional advice & guidance, I successfully completed a move from a building that was once my home, my business & my lifetime storage unit for nearly 40 years. One floor of an office, 2 floors of a townhome & a separate 2 floor garage full of stuff. It was an estate clearance for me, in advance. Jo wisely advised the time that needed to be committed & organized everything needed from the shredders & boxes to getting a dumpster & advertising things on the market to having crews move items to storage plus being there for hours carefully helping me sort & decide what to keep & what to go. She boxed & separated the volumes of material carefully helping me determine what to keep & what can go. It was an arduous process made effective & efficient by Jo’s experience & efforts. I highly recommend her & am grateful to be successfully finished thanks to her excellent support!

We had a great experience working with Joanna and her team when they had an estate sale at our house. She and her team worked very hard to organize and conduct a sale at a larger-than-average house with a lot of stuff. And they also removed all the remaining items from the house after the sale, an important service that some other estate sale companies don't provide.
My neighbors told me that we had big crowds at the estate sale all three days, and we did end up selling a large number of items and two vehicles as well.
Joanna was very professional and knowledgeable about running an estate sale, and she was always responsive to any issues or concerns that I brought up along the way.
Thank you Joanna and Teal Butterfly!

Jo works herself to death to make the sale a great one! She also made sure we where okay with letting go of things. When she left the house was empty and ready to show! There were high praises from customers as well! Thank you SO much Jo!!

I’m not sure where to start in sharing what a great experience it was to work with Jo Nelson, owner of The Teal Butterfly Designs, LLC. My son and I contracted with Jo to handle an estate sale, clean out and clean up of my mother-in-laws home. The entire experience was seamless. Jo took care of cataloging and pricing all furniture, dishes, decorative items, clothes, etc. in advance of a three day estate sale that she managed on her own (we were not required to be there). She then took some items that did not sale to consignment while donating others. Jo also offered us a service where she and her team went back into the house and cleaned it top to bottom to make sure it was ready to sale. She lifted a great burden from our shoulders. We could not be more pleased with her professionalism and dedication to a job well done. I highly recommend this company for your future estate sale needs.
