What happens to the items that are not kept?
They are sorted into donate, recycle and dispose. Usable items can often be donated, and the rest is hauled away. Hazardous items such as chemicals and old medicines are handled safely. Ask the team how each category is handled.
Will important papers and keepsakes be protected?
Yes, you can ask how the team protects them. Many teams set aside papers, photos and jewelry first and return them to the family. Tell the team what to look for. Photos and papers are usually found early, before large items are moved.
Can the house be sold after a cleanout?
Yes. Once it has been cleared and cleaned, and any repairs are done, a home can be listed or returned. Questions about what must be disclosed are best answered by a real estate attorney or agent.
How much does an estate cleanout cost?
It depends on the size of the home, the amount of belongings, stairs and access, and whether biohazard cleanup is needed. A team can give a price range after hearing the details. Ask what the range includes.
Do I need to be at the home?
Usually not for the whole job. Many families join for a first walkthrough or look at items by photo or video. Ask how keys, access and decisions can be sorted out by phone. You can also ask the team to pause while you go through the rooms.
Is the home safe to enter after a death?
Most are, but not all. If the person died alone and was found after some time, fluids can soak into floors and furniture. Spoiled food, mold, pests and needles can also be present. If you are unsure, do not clear the area yourself.
