Lambs help get affairs in order

Posted

Name: Jennifer and Robert Lamb

Age: Jennifer is 56, Rob is 55.

Business name: An Estate in Time, LLC, 480-276-8045 or 480-322-0602, anestateintime@gmail.com, visit https://anestateintime.co; 7 a.m.-7 p.m. Monday-Sunday.

Personal background highlights: Jennifer and Robert moved to Arizona in 1997. Jennifer is from Davenport, Iowa, received her bachelors degree in child, parent and community services at Iowa State University, received her doctorate from Palmer College and is currently a certified personal property appraiser through the Certified Appraisers Guild of America. Robert is from Fresno, California, received his bachelors degree in nutrition at Fresno State University, received his doctorate from Palmer College and is currently a certified personal property appraiser through the Certified Appraisers Guild of America and is the part-time software wiz responsible for the development of our proprietary bar-coding software and accounting program utilized at all of our sales. Jennifer and Robert have a 22-year-old son who has a degree in finance from Arizona State University. Jennifer and Robert love to visit antique stores, hike the mountains of Colorado, exercise, drink fine wine and spend time with family and friends.

Professional background highlights: Everyone needs an advocate — someone to be on their side and protect their interests. We will treat your home as if it were our own and account for our activities in a transparent and timely manner. Jennifer and Robert started An Estate in Time, LLC in 2014 and are certified personal property appraisers through CAGA, vetted members of the American Society of Estate Liquidators, have an accredited A+ Better Business Bureau rating and were 2018 BBB Ethics Award finalists and 3-time nominees for the BBB Ethics Award.

What we do: We provide appraisals and estate sale services. In addition, we offer auction consignment of jewelry, watches and coin collections. We do fine estate sales and liquidations as well as appraisals within the comfort of your home. We start with a complimentary consultation to discuss your needs. All items sold are inventoried, researched, valued, priced and tagged, with a full accounting report of all items sold at the conclusion of the sale. In addition, we offer consignment of fine jewelry, coins and watches for our high end auctions.

What we like most about doing business here: We love Arizona and have made it our home. When working with our clients, it has been gratifying to know that they have entrusted us with their treasured belongings. We sincerely appreciate their trust. The greatest compliment a client can give is the referral of their friends and family.

What are we promoting: Compassion, integrity and accountability within our industry. This industry needs accountability for the sale of treasured personal property. There is currently no regulation for estate sale companies in Arizona. That is why we have gone the extra mile by developing a proprietary software program to account for and bar code every single item within the home, provide a full accounting of sold items at the conclusion of the sale with a business check within seven days and took the time to become certified personal property appraisers. Through our research, we have found that our revenue is 3-5 times that of your traditional estate sale company.

What we’re excited about and why: We offer complimentary consultations to discuss your needs. It is always exciting to meet new clients and learn about their treasured belongings; what they have collected through the years or in their travels, what brings a smile to their face, learn about the sentimental items they don’t want to leave behind but have to, the memories associated with their things. It can be very difficult for people to let go, but when we offer respect, dignity and compassion, they know their “memories” are in good hands.

Our family: Robert and Jennifer Lamb; son, Branden, age 22; Border collie mix rescue-Belle Lamb, 5 years.

Our interests and hobbies: Hiking Colorado, biking, exercise, reading, family and friends.

People who inspire us (and how): Maya Angelou. She suffered great pain and trauma in her life and made the decision to rise above it. My favorite quote and motto is, “People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but People will never forget how you made them feel.” — Maya Angelou

Our guiding philosophy: Treat everyone the way that you would want to be treated! Karma will always circle back.

Our advice to today’s youth: Success is not final, failure is not fatal. It is the courage to continue that counts. If you’re crazy enough to think you can change the world, then you will. And take time in between to smell the roses!
