Estate clear-outs in Metro Vancouver: clearing a home is a HUGE job. We've done it 200+ times.
From first key to home-ready. Documented, respectful, and designed for executors who may be far away. We take you from "I don't know where to start" to "It's handled."

Common stresses, practical relief
You're out of province or country
Video walk-throughs, photo inventory at every step, and clear digital approvals so you're never in the dark.
Tight timelines before listing or probate
We work to your deadline with predictable milestones and daily progress updates.
Family dynamics and emotional decisions
Neutral, respectful coordination. We document everything so decisions are clear and defensible.
Don't know what's valuable or what to do with it
We identify items worth appraising, connect you with trusted auction houses, and handle donation or disposal of the rest.
The estate clear-out process
Six steps, clearly documented at every stage
Assess & Plan
We visit the property, and within an hour, understand your goals, timeline, and any special concerns. You receive a clear project plan and estimate.
Sort & Decide
Working with you (or your designate), we systematically sort everything into clear categories: keep, move, sell, donate, or dispose.
Inventory & Appraise
Photo documentation of valuable or sentimental items. Optional appraisals for estate purposes. You approve all decisions in writing.
Disperse
Items go to their right channels—family keeps, auction houses, consignment, donation centres, or proper disposal—all tracked and documented.
Move & Set Up
If applicable, we coordinate the move with trusted partners and set up the new space so it feels like home from day one.
Make Ready
Matched to your needs, from the family home, we do final cleaning and walkthrough. The property will be show-ready, move-in ready, or ready for its next chapter. If we're helping relocate, we coordinate everything from unpacking to making the bed for your first night.
