It`s a dirty job but... Someone has to do it!

I know that what I am about to say goes against your better judgement and may be hard to believe but you can actually save money by not cleaning anything before you decide to hire us.
You may think that you are doing us a favor and saving yourself some money at the same time but quite actually you are doing just the opposite.

We have a rule of thumb that we follow... Never touch the same piece of paper twice.

I cannot tell you how many times a potential client says to us during our FREE phone consultation... "Before you come over for your evaluation consultation I need to clean my house."

If you decide to clean up before we come over to evaluate what you have there is the distinct possibility that you will be discarding items that we could possibly sell for you. You would be amazed how many people keep what is trash and toss out what are treasures.

Believe it or not we may actually have to charge more for houses that have already been partially liquidated. This may seem illogical but in actuality, from our perspective, it is much harder to clean up after someone has already started cleaning and sorting.

Something else that we hear more often than we care to is... "We already took everything out of the cupboards, wrapped them in newspaper and packed them in boxes for you."

Clients mean well but they don't realize that we now have to take all of the items out of the boxes and unwrap them to properly evaluate whether we can sell, donate, recycle or trash them. We will then have to repack everything a second time which requires double or triple the original work necessary which is actually much more costly and time consuming than if the client let us start from scratch.
