Estate Sale Solutions LLC: Professional Decluttering Service
Our Decluttering Service goes beyond simple cleanup; it's about creating functional, clear spaces and making informed decisions about belongings, preparing your home for future steps, whether that's an estate sale, moving, or simply enjoying a more organized environment.
What is Our Decluttering Service?
Our Decluttering Service is a hands-on, empathetic, and strategic approach to organizing and reducing the volume of items in a property. It's ideal for situations where:
- The property is overwhelmed with belongings: Making it difficult to assess items for an estate sale, or to live comfortably.
- Clients feel emotionally or physically unable to tackle the task: We provide compassionate support and practical assistance.
- Preparation for an estate sale is needed: A decluttered space allows for a more efficient and profitable estate sale setup, as items are easier to sort, value, and display.
- Downsizing or relocation is on the horizon: We help you decide what to keep, sell, donate, or discard.
Our trained professionals will work alongside you, or independently based on your comfort level and instructions, to systematically sort through household items. This includes:
- Categorization: Grouping similar items together.
- Decision-Making Support: Guiding you through the process of deciding what to keep, sell, donate, or discard, respecting your wishes and emotional attachments.
- Containment & Organization: Providing temporary organization solutions for items to be kept, or packing them for storage/moving.
- Pre-Sale Prep (if applicable): Identifying items that are prime candidates for an estate sale, and setting aside those clearly not suitable.
Benefits to Our Clients:
- Reduced Overwhelm & Stress: We transform a daunting task into a manageable process, alleviating emotional and physical strain.
- Maximized Estate Sale Potential: A decluttered and organized home allows us to more effectively stage and present items for sale, often leading to better results. It enables us to see and value items that might otherwise be hidden.
- Clarity & Focus: By removing excess, you gain clarity on what you truly own and what you truly value.
- Efficient Process: Our systematic approach saves you time and effort.
- Compassionate Support: We approach each situation with sensitivity and understanding, especially when dealing with sentimental items.
- Seamless Transition: This service smoothly bridges the gap between an overwhelming property and a ready-for-sale or ready-for-move condition.
- Complements Hauling: Once items are designated for discard, our Hauling Service can seamlessly remove them, offering a complete end-to-end solution.
ESS LLC: Decluttering Policy
Decluttering Service Policy:
- Scope of Work: The Decluttering Service focuses on sorting, organizing, and preparing items for their next destination (keeping, selling, donating, discarding). It does not include deep cleaning of the property or professional packing for moving (though light packing of items to be kept will occur).
- Client Involvement: While we can work independently with clear instructions, client presence or availability for decision-making is often beneficial, especially when dealing with personal or sentimental items.
- Estimated Time & Pricing: An initial assessment is required to determine the estimated time and resources needed. We will provide a clear estimate before commencing work.
- Hauling vs. Decluttering: This service specifically covers the labor for sorting, organizing, and preparing items. The removal of discarded items (trash, junk) is covered under our separate Hauling Service. We will integrate the scheduling of both for maximum efficiency.
- Non-Hazardous Materials: We handle general household items. Hazardous materials (as defined in our Hauling Service Policy) are excluded.
- Confidentiality: All client information and the nature of belongings are treated with the utmost confidentiality.
How Our Decluttering Service is Priced:
Our Decluttering Service is priced independently from our estate sale commission and our hauling service, reflecting the specialized labor and time involved.
- Hourly Rate: This service is typically priced on an hourly basis of $40 per hour, for organizer/specialists, with a minimum engagement time (e.g., 2-hour minimum). This allows flexibility based on the complexity and volume of items.
- Project-Based Estimate: For larger or more complex projects, we can provide a fixed project-based estimate after an on-site consultation to assess the scope of work.
- Transparency: All pricing will be clearly communicated and agreed upon in writing before any work begins. This service can be quoted in conjunction with our Hauling Service for a bundled solution.
- Hazardous Materials and Decease: These services are not included in any part of our Contract, and/or Consultation, and should be handled by the Client prior to contacting Estate Sale Solutions LLC.
