Frequently Asked Questions
1. What services do you provide?
We specialize in home cleanouts, estate sales, and home selling solutions. Whether you are managing an inherited property, downsizing, relocating, or prepping the home for selling, we offer full end-to-end support to simplify the entire process.
2. Who do you typically serve?
We typically assist seniors planning a move, children with aging parents, families managing an estate, and seniors simplifying their home.
3. What is involved in a home cleanout?
A home cleanout involves removing unwanted items from the property… such as furniture, belongings, clutter, debris and more. We sort, donate, recycle, and properly dispose of items, leaving the home broom-swept clean and ready for its next stage. (note that we also work with clients and make donations to their preferred organizations.)
4. How do estate sales work?
We organize, stage, research, price, and run your estate sale, ensuring items are presented professionally and sold to maximize total sales. We handle marketing, staffing, and transaction management. We ensure sold items are removed safely, being mindful to care for the home.
5. Do you buy items directly, or only sell through an estate sale?
We can do both. While most valuables are sold through an estate sale, we also offer direct buy-outs for selected items or entire contents when a faster solution is required.
6. Do you run only on-site estate sales, or also online?
We do both. Depending on several factors such as items, timing, and location, we will make a recommendation on which approach will yield the best results. Online auctions for high-value, smaller items can be very effective
7. Where do you operate?
We support all of Connecticut, with a focus on New Haven, Hartford, and Fairfield counties.
8. Can you help if I live out of state or can’t visit the property?
Absolutely. Many clients are managing estates remotely. We can coordinate everything on your behalf - cleanouts, sales, repairs, photography, and prepping the home for sale.
9. What types of homes do you work with?
We serve all types of properties, including single-family homes, condos, multi-family homes, and senior living transitions.
10. Do you offer real estate services or partner with realtors?
Yes. We provide home-selling solutions, which may include connecting you with trusted real estate professionals, preparing the property for sale, or coordinating a fast, as-is home purchase, depending on your needs. We also provide full-home buy-outs, inclusive of the house with all it’s contents.
11. How long does the process take?
Timelines vary by project size:
Cleanouts: 1-3 days for most properties
Estate sales: Typically 1-2 weeks, including preparation (sales are 1-3 days)
Selling the home: It depends on your chosen selling method, but we can help expedite the process.
12. How much do your services cost?
Costs depend on the scope of work. Cleanouts are priced by volume and complexity, while estate sales are a commission-based model. Our pricing is fair and aligned with industry standards. We provide clear, upfront estimates before any work starts.
13. What makes your company different?
We offer a one-stop, compassionate, and comprehensive solution during what is often a stressful time. Our goal is to reduce your burden, protect and maximize the value of the assets, and deliver reliable results with honesty and care.
