Frequently Asked Questions

FAQs

Where Should I Begin?

Just one call will get the process started. When you call, we will discuss your needs based on your current situation. Then we will schedule a time to meet. From there we will be able to quickly start coordinating and overseeing everything needed to reach your desired outcome. We recommend that you do not throw anything away as even little things could be sold at an estate sale or buyout.

What If The Home Does not Have Any Items Of Great Value?

A common misconception when people use the term estate sale is that there must be items of high value involved to have an estate sale. The average home has a lifetime of accumulation of what most people will call “stuff.” We always recommend not throwing out or selling anything until we have had a chance to assist. Your loved one’s possessions do not have to be of high value in order to have a professional estate sale from which you can profit and, at the same time, have the home cleared out.

If there are not enough items for a traditional estate sale, there are other options. We can coordinate with companies that offer “buyouts” in which a company makes an offer to the family that includes buying and removing all of the items. We also work with various charities to assist in the donation of household items.

We can also provide “clear out” services in which a company comes in and removes all items of no value, donating anything acceptable to charities. This still provides a tax benefit that can easily exceed the cost of the clear out.

How Quickly Can I Have The House Cleared Out And Be Ready To Sell, Rent, Or Move Out?

This depends on many factors. If there are enough items for an estate sale, it is usually 2-4 weeks for the estate sale to be completed. If there are not enough items for an estate sale, a buyout or clear out may be the best plan. We can have the home completely cleared out, usually within 3-5 days. The home will then be cleaned and ready for the next step.
