Why Combine An Estate Sale & Clean Out?

Combining a whole-home cleanout with an online estate sale offers a range of benefits, particularly for families, executors, or individuals looking for an
efficient, seamless way to handle the sale and removal of personal property. Here’s why this approach is advantageous:

Time and Stress Savings

Streamlined Process: Managing an estate sale and a cleanout separately can be time-consuming and overwhelming. Combining the two allows everything to be handled in one coordinated effort.

Professional Support: Estate sale companies with cleanout services can manage every step, from sorting items to organizing the sale and disposing of unsold items, saving you significant time and stress.

Bundled Services: Combining estate sale management with cleanout services can often save money compared to hiring separate vendors for each task.

Revenue Offsets Costs: Proceeds from the estate sale can help cover the cleanout expenses, making it a financially smart option.

Cost-Effective Approach

Immediate Results: Following the estate sale, a cleanout ensures the home is left completely empty and ready for the next step, such as listing it for sale or returning it to a landlord.

One-Team Approach: The same company managing the estate sale can handle the cleanout, ensuring no delays or communication issues between multiple vendors.
