FAQ
How long does the estate cleanout process take?
The answer varies with each estate. It really depends on a few things:
- How large is the estate?
- Will the heirs will be working hands on with the Organizer and, if so, how quickly can decisions be made?
- How many heirs are there? What are the family dynamics?
- Are there specialized collections that need specific assessments?
- Are there items that need to be shipped?
What happens to all the stuff?
When a loved one dies, grief and mourning make everything more difficult. After arrangements are set, what do you do with the stuff left behind? Let us make that part easier for you and provide some peace of mind.
We can help you decide what you want to keep, recommending creative and practical ways to honor your loved one’s cherished memories. With our network of charities, artists, and recycling programs, we find homes within the community for 90% of what our clients decide to let go of.
If there is a special collection or item that is valuable, we work with auction houses and on-line auction services.

How long does it take to get organized?
We provide expert guidance, support, encouragement, and creative problem-solving to give you the skills to maintain a clutter-free space. How quickly this happens varies with each person. It really depends on a few things: how much stuff there is, how big the space is, how quickly you make decisions, and the practice you put in to keeping it up. And, of course, what “done” looks like to you.
Will you make me throw everything away?
Nope! While we do encourage you to let go of what doesn’t work for you, if you have the space to store your items and it doesn’t hinder your life, go ahead and keep ‘em. We have many storage solutions to offer so you can access what you want to keep.
Can I have friends and family help?
That really depends. Sometimes many hands make light work, and, at other times, there are too many cooks in the kitchen. We can talk about it and make a plan if you want to involve your family members in getting organized. As long as they are on board, we are happy to give them ways to help!
Why would I need additional organizers?
Usually, our clients prefer to work one-on-one, but sometimes the project is so big or they have a tight deadline that needs more attention. Having another organizer on the team gets the job done faster. Our teams can work together or in multiple areas, sharing the work so it goes more quickly. This is especially helpful for Estate Cleanouts and larger jobs.
