A calm way to settle a loved one's home

We handle the whole house, from the first item to the last: an estate sale, a clean-out, or both. You set the pace, and you see where everything goes.

No pressure, and no obligation to go ahead.

Preferred contact

We will only use this to contact you about your request.

What we do

We work two ways, and many families use both. You can start with either one.

Estate sales

We inventory the home item by item with photos, then price each thing against real sold prices for comparable pieces. We stage the house, run the sale in the home, and list select items online. When a specialty piece will bring more at auction, we route it to an auction partner.

Home clean-out

After the sale, or instead of one, whatever is left goes to donation, recycling, or disposal, and we leave the house broom-clean. If you need the home ready to list, we can coordinate cleaning, paint, landscaping, and similar partners. You tell us how far you want us to take it.

You see where everything went

Every item goes on a list, and your final statement shows what each one brought and where it went: sold, donated, recycled, or kept. That is our approach to an estate sale, so nothing simply disappears.

Who this is for

People come to us at different moments. You may recognize yours here.

Settling a home

You are caring for a loved one's home after a death, and you want it handled gently.

Downsizing or moving

You are moving to a smaller place or to assisted living and need the house cleared.

Executors and administrators

You are responsible for settling an estate and need a clear record of what happened.

Realtors and attorneys

You need a house emptied and ready to show, on a timeline that works.
