My Shelter-in-Place Routine

It has been over a week since the Kuzak's Closet office and operations were forced to close due to the shelter in place restrictions in Santa Clara County. It is a difficult time for everyone, both economically and emotionally. At our final staff meeting prior to closing I urged my staff to create a daily routine to help curb the isolation blues and keep the days moving along. I'll admit it took me a few days to create a new order ... Keep Reading >>

National Estate Sale Conference: Nashville Adventure

Sarah and I had the opportunity to attend the National Estate Sale Conference last week in Nashville.  It was an incredible week of education, networking, and exploring!  The conference was organized by estatesales.net, an estate sale marketing app, and they knocked it out of the park.  The location, speakers, education, and professional partners were stellar!

Golf Bug

I caught the golf bug last May and it's become my favorite hobby, and pretty much the only thing I'll take a day off of work to do.  I love how it allows me to unplug, enjoy being outside, and spend time with friends and in many cases strangers that become new friends. When I started my business, I spent many of the early years alone. Now, it's the complete opposite. My days are filled with conversations with my staff, with ... Keep Reading >>

Estate Highlights From Q1
