Estate
cleanouts

These jobs are rarely just about the stuff

Most estate cleanouts happen after someone has died, and the family is sorting through a lifetime of belongings on a deadline set by a settlement date or a listing agent. That's a hard week for anybody.

We move at whatever pace you need. If you want to go room by room and check things before they load, that's fine. If you'd rather hand us a key and not watch, that's fine too.

Before we start: the sweep

Walk the house once and pull anything that matters — documents, photographs, jewelry, keepsakes, anything in a drawer you haven't opened. Things get missed in the backs of closets and taped under drawers more often than you'd expect.

If we come across something that looks personal or valuable mid-job, we stop and set it aside for you rather than making the call ourselves.

Working with agents and executors

If you're out of state, we can coordinate with the listing agent or executor, work from a lockbox, and send photos of each cleared room as we go.

Plenty of our estate work is booked by someone who never sees the property in person.
