How it works
Five steps, start to finish.
Every home is different, but the path is the same. Here’s what the process looks like once you work with us.
1
Discovery & planning
We meet to discuss your situation, your goals and timeline, and the key stakeholders involved. We build the project plan for your approval.
2
Keeping and safeguarding memories
We ensure safe keeping for all items that you wish to keep — ranging from physical objects to digitization of photos.
3
Liquidation and disposal of personal effects
For everything else, we organize and manage the liquidation and disposal of personal effects through auction houses, estate sales companies, donation and discard, as appropriate.
4
Fix all deferred maintenance
Once a home is cleared, we do all the pent-up handyman repairs, landscaping and deferred maintenance that is necessary. We do not take on any new construction work; we focus on maximizing what exists.
5
Documentation and record-keeping
We maintain all records and documentation needed for your probate, tax or personal record keeping for 5 years.

We find that most clients wish to visit at least once in person, but everything can be done remotely. Our on-the-ground team works directly with your real estate broker to ensure that everything is ready for your property.
