Estate cleanouts done with care.
Settling an estate is hard enough. We handle the clearing — sorting valuables from junk, donating reusable items with tax-receipts, hauling the rest — so you can focus on what matters.
What an estate cleanout looks like
When a loved one passes, the house they leave behind needs to be cleared — sometimes quickly, often during the most difficult weeks of a family's life. An estate cleanout is the systematic process of going through every room, sorting items into categories, and getting the property ready for sale, rental, or transition.
We handle estates ranging from small condos in Bentonville to multi-generation homes in Bella Vista with decades of accumulated belongings. Every estate is different. The common thread is that families need someone who'll treat the contents — and them — with respect.
What we sort and what happens to it
Before we haul anything, we work with you to sort everything into four buckets:
- Keep: Items the family wants — heirlooms, photographs, important documents, sentimental pieces. We set these aside in a designated area for you to take.
- Sell: Furniture and items of clear resale value. We can refer you to local estate sale companies or auction houses if that route makes sense.
- Donate: Anything reusable but not worth selling — clothes, kitchenware, books, working appliances, gently used furniture. Goes to Goodwill, Habitat for Humanity ReStore, Furniture Friends, and other local charities. We provide donation receipts for your tax records.
- Dispose: Damaged, expired, or genuinely worthless items. We recycle what we can and properly dispose of the rest.
One important rule: We never throw anything away without your approval. If we find something we're unsure about — old photographs in a shoebox, jewelry in a sock drawer, papers that look financial — we set it aside and ask before it leaves.
Who we work with
Most of our estate cleanouts come through one of three channels:
- Executors and personal representatives handling probate. We coordinate timelines with the estate attorney and provide documentation if courts require it.
- Real estate agents with listings that need to be cleared before they can be shown. We can usually have a property ready for showings within 1-3 days.
- Adult children dealing with a parent's home after a death or move to assisted living. Often the most emotional engagements — we move at your pace.
Pricing & how long it takes
Estate cleanouts typically range from $1,500 to $5,000 depending on home size, contents volume, and access. A small two-bedroom apartment with modest contents might be a single-day job at the lower end. A three- or four-bedroom home with garage, attic, and decades of accumulation can take 2-3 days at the higher end.
