For probate attorneys · listing agents · property managers

Your name is on the recommendation.

Which is why the crew you send matters. We clear estate and rental properties across Marion, Sumter, and Lake — insured, documented, and fast enough to get a house to market.

Before you refer

Everything you'd want on file.

Coverage

Licensed and insured

General liability certificate available on request, and we'll name your firm or brokerage as certificate holder if that's your policy.

Turnaround

Most properties in one day

Standard garage or unit same day. Full property clearing typically one to three days depending on volume and access.

Documentation

Written inventory on every job

Photographed inventory of anything set aside as potentially valuable, plus disposal records. Matters when an heir or former tenant asks later.

Discretion

Unmarked, quiet, respectful

No signage in the yard, no discussion with neighbors. Families in this situation don't want an audience.

Who we work with

Three ways this usually comes up.

Probate & estate attorneys

Your personal representative asks who to call. The wrong answer becomes your problem two months later.

  • Nothing of value goes to the landfill unreviewed
  • Written inventory protects the PR from heir disputes
  • We work to the estate's timeline, not ours
  • Direct line to the owner, not a call center

Listing agents

A cluttered property doesn't photograph, doesn't show, and doesn't sell. Usually the agent absorbs that cost to win the listing.

  • Cleared and photo-ready, typically in a day
  • Same-day quote from photos you already have
  • Disposal handled — nothing lands back on you
  • Seller finds out about anything valuable up front

Property managers & storage

Post-eviction and abandoned unit clearing on a schedule, with the paperwork that comes with it.

  • Photographed inventory for disputed claims
  • Standing rates for regular volume
  • We work your turnaround window
  • Proper disposal of chemicals and e-waste
The part that matters

We look before we load.

Most cleanout crews are paid by the truckload, which means everything goes in the truck. Costume jewelry that turns out to be sterling. A box of postcards. A machinist's tool chest. The family finds out months later, from someone else, what was in there.

We go through it first. Anything that looks like it carries value gets set aside, photographed, and shown to the personal representative or owner before a single item leaves. If they want to sell it themselves, that's fine — we'll tell them roughly what it's worth and where to take it. If they'd rather not deal with it, we'll buy it outright and credit it against the job.

Either way, the decision belongs to your client. That's the whole difference, and it's why referring us doesn't come back on you.
