An estate cleanout is rarely just a hauling job. It usually happens on a deadline, often with family out of state, and always in the middle of something difficult. The logistics deserve to be the easy part.
How these usually run
- Family removes keepsakes and documents first — take longer at this than you think you need
- Anything going to auction, consignment or specific relatives gets tagged and set aside
- Everything remaining is cleared room by room
- The house is left broom-clean for a realtor, a closing or a handoff
Before anything leaves
Check the obvious hiding places, because they are hiding places for a reason: freezers, the backs of drawers, coat pockets, inside books, taped under drawers, and the pages of anything that looks like a Bible. Cash, jewelry, deeds, savings bonds and service records turn up in all of them.
If there's a probate or a closing date
Say so on the first call. A cleanout that has to be finished before a specific date gets scheduled differently from one that doesn't, and the difference matters more than the price does.
