Company Memberships

We created this company to take the stress out when buying / selling your home or are an administrator of an estate. Our divisions, Estate Coordinator and Home Move Concierge, can orchestrate an estate sale PLUS more!

Typically within our Home Move Concierge division homeowners are looking to downsize to move out of state or into a smaller home. We can work with you on identifying what you are wanting to sell verses what you want to keep and formulate a plan on how the home needs to be organized. Many of our clients still live in their homes while an estate sale is being executed so we know how a home needs to flow while you still are living in it. Also depending on the real estate agent many of our homes CAN be on the market while an estate sale is being orchestrated!

Our other division dedicated with estate sales is our Estate Coordinator services. We have worked with many families who are in charge of a trust or are the executor of an estate who live out of state. After working with many clients like this for over six years we understand and know many of the different facets related to an estate and how we can work in a home from first day until the house is empty all while keeping everyone abreast of the steps along the way.

There are many different elements within an estate sale and we do sales a bit unconventional that what you may have seen in the past. We work with both the sellers (clients) AND buyers to give the biggest bang for everyone's dollar in the best way we can. We have an extensive buyer database that work with us time and again based on some of our techniques as we ALWAYS sell before a sale.

Our Testimonials

I feel extremely lucky to have worked with Sue and her company Spaces of Tranquility. My father recently passed away and my mother needed to be quickly moved into a nursing home, and all other family members live out of state. All of a sudden, I had a house full of 58 years’ worth of accumulation that needed to be sorted through, before it could be put on the market to sell. Sue came to our house for an initial meeting to answer all questions and assess the property, and I was immediately struck by her warm and engaging personality and her ‘can do’ attitude. It was a difficult time for me emotionally, and the whole project felt overwhelming at first, but Sue assured me that she could handle sorting through, cataloging, and helping to sell, donate, and discard everything in the house. Sue and her staff with Spaces of Tranquility carefully sorted through and staged items in each room. All items were photographed, and I was given an opportunity to look through all photographs prior to the estate sale, to make sure that I had not missed anything that I wanted to keep, which I deeply appreciated. Soon thereafter, Sue ran a successful estate sale for us, followed by donating the unsold items to Salvation Army, and hiring a junk removal company for the items not sold or donated. The house is now broom clean and ready for my real estate agent to put on the market. During the entire process from beginning to end, Sue was in contact every step of the way and got back to me immediately with answers to any questions that I had. Sue and her team were kind and compassionate throughout, during a difficult time for my family, which we deeply appreciated. Sue is a consummate professional, and I highly recommend her and her company Spaces of Tranquility for anyone who needs help with an estate sale.Alex, Bronx, NYOctober 2025

Sue helped us through a very difficult time with joy and efficiency. We had to go through and empty my in-laws' home that they had lived in for almost 60 years, a huge project that had to be done in a very limited time as we live out of state. She guided us through the process and made us feel that it was all going to be ok. We were able to do what we needed to do knowing that she would be able to do the rest and she did it superbly. She communicated every step of the way, organizing everything for the estate sale, making sure we knew where everything was, disposing of what needed to go, giving away what didn’t sell and taking care of all the small details that come up. When it all seemed like it was too much, she came in with amazing energy and homemade blueberry scones and took care of the house, and us.Stephanie, Palos ParkSeptember 2025

I used Spaces of Tranquility for the estate sale of my mother's home. It was not an easy situation as I live in Louisiana and my mother is suffering from Alzheimer's Disease. But Sue went way above and beyond to help me through this difficult transition. She was very attentive to my needs and treated my mother with kindness and respect. I could not recommend Spaces of Tranquility enough, if you are looking for someone to hold an estate sale. Sue will do everything in her power to make it a success!Jeff, LemontMay 2025

We’ve had the privilege of working with Sue Brigham owner of Spaces Of Tranquility both personally and professionally, and I can’t recommend her enough. She is compassionate yet firm, bringing a level of organization and efficiency that is unmatched—whether she’s handling a routine estate sale or tackling the overwhelming task of cleaning out a hoarder home. Her systems are seamless, her work ethic is relentless, and her ability to manage every detail—including selling vehicles—is truly impressive. She handled both of our father’s estate sales with care and professionalism, making a difficult process much easier for our family. As Realtors, we were honored to be one of her first clients, and we continue to refer her with confidence. On top of all that, she is a generous supporter of the Community Adult Day Center in Downers Grove, demonstrating her commitment to our community. If you’re looking for someone who will get the job done with heart and efficiency, look no further than Sue.Paul and Jodie Baker, Platinum PartnersMarch 2025

Spaces of Tranquility recently ran an estate sale for our family. My siblings and I had the task of cleaning out our childhood family home. There was 62 years of accumulation! We thought we could handle a sale ourselves but quickly found out that it was more work than we imagined. How to price, get the word out and handle customers was not in my wheelhouse Enter Sue and Spaces of Tranquility. I appreciated Sue’s upfront and honest assessment. The sale went very well and we were happy with the results.
Thank you Sue!SaraJuly 2024

Moving to a new state - planning to bring nothing much but clothes. Panic! How do we get rid of 15 years of stuff along with a four bedroom house full of furniture! We were given the number for Spaces of Tranquility by our realtor, so we gave her a call and they immediately got back to us. We set up a time to meet and after an informative conversation Sue was able to put together a plan that would accommodate our schedule. Crazy as it seems, we moved out prior to closing and left the estate sale, clean up and walk thru prep in the hands of Sue and her team. Every time I would call with worry or concern, she immediately got back to us and reassured us with clear cut answers. Sale went as planned and house was left in perfect condition for closing. It’s not in our nature to leave something so critical to someone else, but I can honestly say, the whole process was handled better than we could have imagined. I would recommend Spaces of Tranquility without hesitation!Karen and Bob, LibertyvilleJune 2024

Spaces of Tranquility has been a wonderful partner to navigate through the entire estate sale process. I had recently lost both my parents who lived in their house a very long time and had accumulated a lifetime of collectible items. I was put in a position where we had to sell what we could so we could free up the house for future sale. Spaces of Tranquility ensured we had the house items in order for sale, did a tremendous job of marketing the sale thru the internet and advertisements, pricing the items, and executing the sale. Cars were lined up and down our block throughout the sale and we were able to sell the majority of items that were in the house. Once the sale was completed Spaces of Tranquility gave me a full inventory of items that were sold and the prices they were sold at. This was a reasonable, pricewise and cost-efficient way for us to navigate through my parents estate and we made a good profit as a bonus! Thank you Spaces of Tranquility for helping my family in a friendly, understanding, and patient way to get through this difficult process. I could not have done this without you! I would strongly recommend them to anyone that was ever put in my position.Ed and Lori, DarienMay 2024

Sue and the rest of the Spaces of Tranquility team were complete life savers during what was a very challenging time. After the unexpected passing of a family member we faced the daunting task of clearing out a home that had amassed multiple generations worth of belongings, made all the more complicated by the fact that the family members taking on this task all live out of state. We met with several estate sale companies ranging from large scale outfits to small 1-2 person teams. None seemed to fit the bill of what we were looking for, the large companies lacked the personal touch while the smaller companies often appeared to lack the resources needed to take on the task we were facing. But as soon as we met Sue it was obvious that she fit perfectly in the middle and was more than up to the challenge of organizing and sifting through all of the belongings, hosting the estate sale, and then taking on the after sale clean-out. The other thing that made Sue stand out to us was her attention to detail and ability to look beyond just sellable merchandise, she saw the entire challenge we were facing. During our initial walkthrough she pointed out several items that may traditionally be outside the scope of an estate sale sale that she could help us coordinate, which was immensely helpful considering we could not be at the house all the time. In addition we really appreciate Sue’s online pre-sale approach as a means to maximize opportunities for selling as much as possible. Overall we are extremely thrilled with the outcome of all the work Sue did for our family and appreciative of her proactive approach, attention to detail, and willingness to hear our thoughts and concerns and find solutions. I would absolutely recommend Sue and the Spaces of Tranquility team without any hesitation to anyone seeking estate sale services.Chris, ElginNovember 2023

After the passing of my mother, I was left with the task of going thru and cleaning her years worth of collections, photos, clothing, furniture and craft supplies. Spaces of Tranquility with Sue and her employees are the best folks to work with. They are kind, direct, and have a vast knowledge of all things relating to estate sales. They managed everything from preparing for the estate sale, the actual sale, donations, clean outs and left me with a spotless, empty house for closing. Sue kept me on task, on schedule and made a stressful time so much easier with their help. Thank you is just not enough for all they did!!!
Sue, DarienMay 2023

We were considering running our own estate sale to save on commissions. After our realtor recommended Sue, we took the time to meet with her and go over her services. There was no doubt that we would use her after our first meeting. We quickly recognized there is alot of behind the scenes work that goes into an estate sale and decided it was best suited for someone like Sue to handle all the details, including the on-line sales, of which we had no clue. Sue is a pro! She has a direct communication style that makes the whole process easier. If you give her the reins and let her run--your estate sale will be a success! We trusted her judgement on everything and were pleased with the final results of our sale. Sue also has a very friendly staff that managed the sale with her, which put us as ease. We relied on her expertise and experience and were very happy with her hard work and dedication to our sale.
Ann and Ted Phillips, LibertyvilleMarch 2023

Our mother left us a house with 60 years worth of belongings, and the heartbreak of combing through Mom's collections was overwhelming. After many firm decisions and changes as to what we do with it all, we called Sue at Spaces of Tranquility. Sue was a blessing. On her initial visit, she listened to us, then looked at what was in the house. She made great suggestions which included an Estate Sale. We were excited about her unique methods of setting up the house and running the sale. Sue has a lot of experience, and although at first we were uncertain with one of her suggestions, in the end she was absolutely correct and we 100% understood her genius. The sale was a great success. She is a delightful person, and extremely comfortable to talk with. She's friendly yet very professional. She knows the business and respects her clients while preserving the path to a successful outcome. I would hire her again in a heartbeat. Yes, I highly recommend hiring Sue and her wonderful staff at Spaces of Tranquility.

I have nothing but excellent things to say about Sue and her girls with Spaces of Tranquility. My mother recently passed away and we had to get their home cleaned out to sell. Sue and her girls worked their butts off as it was a hoarders home and after a month of cleaning it up, orchestrating an estate sale and finally cleaning it out, the home was finally ready to be put on the market to sell. I feel I made a wonderful friend with Sue and I highly highly would recommend Spaces of Tranquility to everyone! Nancy, AuroraMarch 2022

Thank you Sue and the Space of Tranquility Team!! You took on a project that was an emotional and painful burden and treated me and my family with divinity and respect. From estimate, to Estate Sale set up, and all the way through the arduous clean out process post sale - you ALL were true pros. I never thought my parents home would have stuff that people would want, but you proved me wrong, and even after it was done - you and your Miracle worker team dug in deep to clean the home out. My shoulders feel 1000 times lighter thanks to the dedication of the Spaces of Tranquility Team! Raym, ChicagoOctober 2021

I had a great experience with Spaces of Tranquility. I was faced with clearing out my parent’s house after their deaths with 53 years of accumulated stuff, from two states away. Sue and her staff were fantastic and not only ran the estate sale, but also went thru everything beforehand and handled donations plus clean-up at the end. They were careful to set aside items for me that they felt were family history or important papers. Sue was great at communicating what was happening during the whole process. I highly recommend Spaces of Tranquility! 5 stars!!Cindy, Oakbrook Terrace / OhioMay 2021

We used Sue Brigham from Spaces of Tranquility for our estate sale. From start to finish, we were impressed with Sue and her staff. She was incredibly organized, knowledgeable and always on our side trying to get the best dollar for our items. We were more than pleased with the revenues she was able to secure in the sale. All of Sue’s employees were well trained and personable and executed their roles during the sale perfectly. Spaces of Tranquility is a well oiled machined. We would recommend her services to anyone. Rhody and Barry, MundeleinAugust 2019

I was fortunate to notice a sign for Spaces of Tranquility in my neighborhood one day, and contacted Sue. Since we were downsizing, I would not have been able to find space for much of what we had in our home. She successfully sold the majority of our furniture before we sold our home. Sue’s business is unique, efficient, and effective. She took all of the stress out of dealing with getting rid of our furniture and other items, and we were able to buy all new furniture for our townhouse!
Angie and Todd, Vernon HillsNovember 2018

I can’t say enough about Sue and her staff at Spaces of Tranquility! My mother is a hoarder and although I had spent months trying to go through rooms, sort things, toss stuff out and see what I could salvage, I was finally overwhelmed and was ready to throw in the towel. A friend of mine had referred me to Sue and I wish I had called her months before I finally did!!
I met with Sue the week before Thanksgiving, 2017, and was very impressed with her straight forward approach as to how to tackle my mother’s home situation. She gave me estimates, time frames and the expectations of what she and her crew could accomplish. They started the very next week. In just a brief period of time they had sifted through over 15 years of ‘stuff,’ pulled up old carpeting to reveal beautiful hardwood floors that I never knew existed. Sue held estate sales for my mother as well and did amazing work with organizing and getting everything set up—there were lines out the door.
After the estate sales were finished, Sue and her amazing crew came back to the house, did a total clean out and were able to donate a lot of items that still had some value. My mom’s house went on the market about 2 weeks after the clean out and she had multiple offers within 3 days. If I hadn’t had the help of Sue and Spaces of Tranquility it would have taken me years!! Many thanks to Spaces of Tranquility!
