Liquidating the property of loved ones

​

Nevertheless, you still have the daunting task of figuring out how and where to dispose of all the contents that you and other relatives did not wish to keep. At this point seniors have already purged their kids’ schoolwork and well-meaning school projects. But historical documents,family memorabilia and photographs still clutter entire desks and accumulate in piles through unused rooms. So how do you decide what stays with you and what stays behind?

​

We help many senior clients get rid of a lifetime of belongings when they downsize. We can ease the liquidation process for you. People are attached to things. Therefore, it is easier for someone else than for the client to empty things out of the house. One reason to hire people to liquidate belongings is that it’s hard to let go

​

Purging, clean out companies such as mine can do as much or as little as the client wants, from sorting and packing, to transporting small electronics to collection sites for recycling or disposal, to returning cable boxes.

​

We know which charities take furniture — and the types of furniture they accept — as well as which will pick up donations. Therefore, we will coordinate where to donate clothing, rugs, linens, glassware, dishes and all the other contents of the home.

​

People feel rewarded when they see that their donations can change.  We try to find new homes for things as much as possible” rather than throwing them away. Suits and dresses might go to groups that give job interview outfits to those in need. Beds, barely used guest room mattresses, other furnishings, linens and housewares might go to organizations that help the formerly homeless set up a home.
