Question 1

How much does a full estate cleanout cost?

Accepted Answer

Estate cleanouts are flat-rate based on home size and contents. A typical 2-bed condo runs $1,200–$2,200, a 3-bed home $2,500–$3,800, and a 4-bed/garage/lanai estate $3,800–$5,500+. We do a free walk-through, give a firm written quote, and never charge by the hour.

Question 2

Can you work directly with executors, attorneys, or out-of-state family?

Accepted Answer

Yes — this is most of our estate work. We coordinate by phone and email, send walk-through photos and video, accept lockbox or Realtor key access, and provide a final report with photos. Payment is typically settled at completion or via the estate account.

Question 3

Will you set aside items the family wants to keep?

Accepted Answer

Always. Before we touch anything we walk every room with you (or via FaceTime) and tag what stays. Photos, jewelry, documents, and sentimental items get pulled and boxed separately for family pickup or shipping.

Question 4

Do you handle donation receipts for the estate?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Anything usable goes to Goodwill, Salvation Army, or Habitat for Humanity ReStore in Manatee or Sarasota County, and we provide the donation receipts to the executor for estate accounting and tax purposes.

Question 5

How quickly can you start a Realtor-driven estate cleanout?

Accepted Answer

If the home needs to be photo-ready or on-market in 7–10 days, we can typically start within 48 hours. Call (941) 302-8933 with the address and timeline and we'll quote and schedule on the same call.
