Estate & whole-house cleanouts
Every house has its own story: a family settling a loved one's estate, a downsize to a smaller place, or a rental between tenants. Whatever brings you here, we clear the whole house with care. What has value is resold or donated, and every room is left broom-clean for whatever comes next.
Who this is for
- Families settling a loved one's estate
- Homeowners downsizing or moving
- Executors, heirs, and estate attorneys
- Out-of-state owners and investors with a rental turnover
- Buyers of a foreclosure or as-is property
- Sellers getting a house ready to list
What's included
A walkthrough first
We walk the house with you (or the executor or owner), note what's staying, and point out anything worth reselling or donating. You get a clear price before anything starts.
Papers, photos, and valuables brought forward
We urge clients to go through drawers, closets, and hidden spaces first. During the work, anything important we come across, like documents, jewelry, or photographs, is set aside and brought to you before anything leaves.
Resell and donate first
Anything with value comes off the cost up front, or we sell it after the job and split what it brings with you. Usable items are donated. Only what truly can't be saved is thrown away. For larger pieces, resale depends on the storage room we have available.
No one needs to be on site
A lockbox or key pickup gets us in, and we send photo updates as the work goes, so an out-of-state owner, investor, or heir can manage the whole job from a distance.
Records when you need them
Before-and-after photos, an itemized list of what was sold, donated, and disposed of, donation receipts, and an accounting of resale proceeds, whether for an estate file, your own records, or a property manager.
Broom-clean and ready for the next step
Every room is left swept and broom-clean, ready for listing photos, a new tenant, renovation work, or the family's next decision.
Before the walkthrough
- Settling an estate? Confirm who has authority to make decisions (the executor or administrator), and let family choose what they'd like to keep first.
- Search for the will, deeds, insurance papers, and valuables, or anything a previous occupant left that someone may come back for, before the cleanout.
- Moving or downsizing? Set aside everything going with you, or tell us at the walkthrough.
- Out of state? Arrange a lockbox or key pickup so we can get in.
- If the house is being sold, ask about paying through title at closing.
Selling the property? We can be paid through title at closing, with nothing out of pocket up front. How paying at closing works.
