Business ProfileforJ. W. Holcomb Estate Liquidation

In May of 2023, I contacted J.W. Holcomb regarding removing and selling the contents of a commercial building that I had up for sale. The contents consisted of thousands of dollars worth of antiques, art and building supplies. Prospective buyers could not adequately see the building for the contents according to the realtor. Mr. Holcomb said he would remove all of the contents to a warehouse or other locations where they would be put on multiple sites for sale. I signed a contract with him which awarded me 70% of all sales and him 30% of the sales. Subsequently, he came the next couple of days for 3-4 hours each day, removing some items. After that, he just left the rest of the inventory. I called and complained that this was not what we agreed to when I signed the contract. He said that his helpers would take the rest of the inventory to the back part of the building where they could be sold. This was not satisfactory, but it was all I could get from him. From May-August, his helpers would come from time to time with buyers until all of the inventory was gone. Upon the completion of all of the sales from the back of the building, not including what items he initially took, I asked for my 70% and an accounting of the sales. He would not answer my texts and calls. When I finally became angry, he said he was ready to email me the final accounting. Of course this did not happen and until this day I have not received anything from him. Since I had to open the building each time his helpers came to sell, I was privy to the worth of what they were selling for cash. Just to give one example of what was sold was flooring that was bought by us for 30,000. if I had been smart, I would have checked the BBB complaints about him before signing the contract. They mirror mine.
