How does our estate cleanout process work?
We charge a labor fee and then sell what can be sold for you (you get the money). We donate everything possible (you get the tax receipts) and then haul away the trash. Your home is broom-clean in a jiff. The average project takes us two days on-site.
We use a wide variety of resources to sell your treasures – custom tailoring the best options for your particular items. That’s part of what makes us the best choice for these projects. We’re not wedded to only one way of accomplishing something. Our resources include international, national and local auction houses, specialty dealers and stores in all kinds of fields, our own lists of buyers who have been with us for ages, and many more. We provide you with a written list of what we’re selling for you when we leave your home, then send you a check and an itemized list of what sold for what price when the sales process is complete.
Our estate liquidation and home cleanout process is different from calling a traditional junk company to dump everything into a landfill.
Throwing things away that could be used by somebody else is, to us, unconscionable. We are the green choice for your estate liquidation project. Nobody does more to keep items out of landfills than we do.
By the time you get a check for the sale of your best stuff, we often come out cheaper than straight junk haulers, too. It’s also very easy for you to unknowingly throw away items worth hundreds or even thousands of dollars. One of our clients wanted to throw away an ugly painting he inherited. We told him that was a bad idea: the painting was worth $300,000!
