Services

The work changes with each family. The approach does not.

Every project begins with a personal review of the property and the situation. Services are coordinated around what the property actually needs, so you only pay for the work your project requires.

Keep · Family · Donate — decided once, recorded forever

Senior Downsizing

Plan what moves forward, what stays in the family, and what happens to everything else.

Older adults preparing for a smaller home or a move to senior living, and the adult children helping them plan it. Often the family is spread across several cities and needs one organized process instead of a dozen separate phone calls.

What the service may include

  • A room-by-room review of the home and its contents
  • Sorting sessions paced around the homeowner
  • A written plan for what moves, stays, or leaves
  • Coordination of packing and the move itself
  • Donation drop-offs and receipts
  • Removal of items no one wants

The family controls

Every keep, give, sell, or remove decision stays with the family. We organize the choices and carry them out. Nothing leaves the home without a clear decision behind it.

How pricing works

Priced by the size of the home, how full it is, and which services the plan requires. Confirmed after a project review.

Meaningful things are found and set aside first

Estate Clear and Reset

Coordinate belongings, donations, removal, cleaning, and final property handoff.

Families settling an estate after a death, often while grieving and working against probate or sale deadlines. Many live out of the area and cannot be at the property every week.

What the service may include

  • A full walkthrough and inventory of the property
  • Setting aside items the family wants found and kept
  • Coordinated donation, sale, and disposal of the rest
  • Deep cleaning once the home is empty
  • Documentation of what was donated or removed
  • A final walkthrough before the property changes hands

The family controls

The family decides what is searched for, what is kept, and where meaningful items go. We flag anything that looks significant before it is grouped for donation or removal.

How pricing works

Priced by property size, contents, access, and the outside services the clearance requires. Confirmed after a project review.

One point of contact from first box to final broom

Complete Home Transition

Manage the process from the first room assessment through moving day and final cleanup.

Families who want one point of contact for the entire move: sorting, packing, the move itself, and leaving the old property clean and ready for whatever comes next.

What the service may include

  • An assessment of both the current home and the destination
  • A project timeline built around the family's dates
  • Sorting and packing support
  • Move coordination on moving day
  • Cleaning and reset of the vacated property
  • A single schedule the whole family can follow

The family controls

The family sets the timeline, approves the plan, and makes every decision about belongings. We handle sequencing, scheduling, and the day-of coordination.

How pricing works

Priced by the scope of the move, the size of both properties, and the services involved. Confirmed after a project review.

Cleared, cleaned, and ready for listing photos

Market-Ready Preparation

Prepare an inherited or longtime home for its next stage through coordinated clearing, cleaning, and property work.

Owners and families preparing a property for listing, often after decades in the same hands. Usually there is a realtor, a target date, and a long list of small jobs standing between the two.

What the service may include

  • Clearing remaining belongings from the property
  • Deep cleaning of the interior
  • Minor repairs and touch-ups
  • Yard and exterior cleanup
  • Coordination around the realtor's photo and listing dates
  • A final walkthrough against the listing checklist

The family controls

The family and their realtor set the standard and the deadline. We report progress against both so there are no surprises the week of listing.

How pricing works

Priced by the property's condition, the work required, and the timeline. Confirmed after a project review.

Also coordinated

Four more ways projects get shaped.

Aging-in-Place Reset

Reduce belongings and reorganize the home so staying put stays practical.

  • A walkthrough focused on daily routines and problem areas
  • Thinning belongings room by room at a comfortable pace
  • Reorganizing storage so everyday items are reachable
  • Clearing hallways, stairs, and walking paths
Family control & pricing

The homeowner decides what stays and where things go. We suggest, they choose. The home should still feel like theirs when we leave.

Priced by the rooms in scope and the amount of sorting and removal involved. Confirmed after a project review.

Sorting and Family Coordination

Structured sorting sessions and a clear record of every family decision.

  • Room-by-room sorting sessions with a consistent method
  • An item list the whole family can review
  • Keep, move, family, sell, donate, and remove decisions tracked in one place
  • Coordination of who receives which family items
Family control & pricing

Every decision belongs to the family. Our job is to make sure each decision is asked once, answered clearly, and carried out as agreed.

Priced by the number of rooms and the volume of contents. Confirmed after a project review.

Donation and Removal Coordination

Coordinated donation runs, documented receipts, and responsible disposal.

  • Grouping items by destination: donate, recycle, dispose
  • Scheduling donation pickups and drop-offs
  • Coordinating hauling for what remains
  • Collecting donation receipts for the family's records
Family control & pricing

The family approves each donation group before it leaves. Receipts and a summary of where things went are kept in the project record.

Priced by volume, item types, and access. Outside hauling and disposal costs are passed through and itemized. Confirmed after a project review.

Cleaning and Property Preparation

Deep cleaning and minor property work so the home is ready for its next step.

  • Deep cleaning after a clearout or move
  • Kitchens, bathrooms, floors, and fixtures brought back to standard
  • Minor repairs like patching, hardware, and touch-up paint
  • Yard and exterior tidying
Family control & pricing

The family defines what ready means for this property. We confirm the standard before work begins and walk it together, in person or by photo, when it is done.

Priced by the property's size and condition and the work requested. Confirmed after a project review.

Projects are priced individually based on the property, amount of work, timeline, access, outside service costs, and desired outcome. Planning services begin with a project review.
