The Estate Cleanout That Sorts Before It Hauls

We clear the whole property. What has value goes to auction houses and dealers. What is usable gets donated, with receipts. The rest gets hauled and recycled. One crew and one point of contact for families, executors and realtors across Los Angeles and Orange County.

Who This Is For

Handling a Loved One's Home? We Take It From Here.

Most estate cleanouts land on one person. You are settling paperwork, dealing with family, and there is a whole house of belongings that someone has to go through. We do the going through. We tell you what is worth selling, we box the personal items for the family first, and we clear the rest on your timeline.

You do not need to be in Los Angeles. Out of state executors send us the keys, we send back a video walkthrough, a plan and a price.

How It Works

Four Steps From Full House to Keys Back in Your Hand

1

Walkthrough and price

In person or by video. Send photos with the form and we call back within 10 minutes with a price. The number we give you is the number you pay.

2

Sort and flag value

We go room by room. Personal papers, photos and keepsakes get boxed for the family first. Anything that looks like it has resale value gets photographed and set aside. Nothing leaves without your OK.

3

Place, donate, haul

Significant pieces go to auction houses and dealers we already work with. Usable household goods go to local donation partners. Everything else is hauled and recycled.

4

Clean handoff

Broom clean, every room photographed, donation receipts and an itemized invoice sent the same day. Ready for the realtor, the next tenant or the family.

Where The Contents Go

Nothing Worth Something Goes to the Dump

A junk hauler prices by the truckload and takes it all to the landfill. We split the house four ways, and the sale side can pay for part or all of the cleanout.

Auction placed17.5%

Antiques, art, and collections we place with specialist auction houses. You keep 82.5% of the hammer price.

Direct sale50%

Furniture and decor we sell straight to dealers and buyers. Faster than auction, no buyer waiting on a sale date.

DonatedReceipts

Usable household goods go to local donation partners. Itemized, dated receipts delivered at job close.

Hauled and recycledIncluded

Everything left goes out in our trucks to recycling and disposal facilities. Part of the cleanout price, no per load surprise.

Cleanout labor and hauling are quoted separately from sales. Commission only comes off items that actually sell. Not every home has resale value, and we will tell you that up front rather than promise a number.

Questions Executors Ask

Estate Cleanout FAQ

How much does an estate cleanout cost?

It depends on volume, access and how much sorting the home needs. Most jobs land inside the ranges in the pricing table above. You get one fixed price after the walkthrough, and anything we sell on your behalf is credited against it.

Can you start before probate closes?

Often yes. We can walk the property, photograph and catalog contents, and quote the job while the estate is still open. We hold off on selling or removing anything until the person with authority tells us to go.

What happens if you find something valuable?

We stop, photograph it and tell you. Nothing with resale value goes in the truck. Pieces that belong at auction go to specialist houses we work with. Everyday resale items go to dealers. You see the list and approve it before anything moves.

Do I need to be there?

No. Many of our clients are out of state. We handle keys and lockboxes, send a video walkthrough before we start, and photos of every room when we finish.

What about personal papers, photos and keepsakes?

Those get boxed first and set aside for the family before anything else is touched. If you want, we ship them to you.

Do you provide donation receipts?

Yes. Itemized by category and dated at drop off, delivered with the final invoice. Useful for the estate's records. We are not tax advisors, so check with yours on how to use them.

How long does it take?

A condo or apartment is usually one day. A full house with a garage runs two to three days. Homes with significant collections take longer because cataloging and placement happen before the haul.

Can you do it same day?

For straightforward cleanouts, yes, call early in the day. Estates with resale value are better served by a walkthrough first so nothing gets hauled that should have been sold.
