Our respectful moving team can help streamline the estate cleanout process.
Professional estate cleanouts are often necessary if a homeowner passes away or needs to move unexpectedly due to a major life event.

Hidden
How soon after a death can we schedule an estate cleanout?
There is no legal waiting period, but we suggest waiting until after the funeral and the initial grieving process. Most families find that they are ready to proceed with an estate cleanout within a few weeks, which allows time to process emotions, review wills or other legal documents, and gather family input before making decisions about belongings.
What should we do before the cleanout team arrives?
Our team will do a walkthrough with you, but it’s also a good idea to do your own walkthrough with key family members to identify items of sentimental value, important documents, jewelry, or other valuables. Many find it helpful to create a “keep” list and designate a family member to be present during the cleanout in case there are further questions.
Can family members be present?
Yes, many families prefer to have someone on-site during the cleanout. However, if you find the process too overwhelming, we can keep you updated via phone or photos.
How do you determine what items have value?
Our team has been helping with estate cleanouts for over 20 years, so we can help identify items of potential value. However, we do recommend having an appraiser come out if you have reason to believe there may be items of high value in the home.
