Estate Cleanout

Ready-Set-Organize! Estate Services “clean-out” service has proven to be an invaluable tool for many estate attorneys, estate executors, real estate agents, and private individuals. Once the valuables have been removed for sale and/or safekeeping, our team of professionals will clear out the residence of all modestly valued items, non-saleable objects, and household debris, leaving the premises “broom clean” in preparation for final inspection and real estate closing.

Charitable Donation

Non-saleable objects are donated to benefit charitable organizations, whenever possible. Written documentation from the charity indicating the value of the donation will be provided for tax deduction purposes. Objects that are not viable for charitable donation will be recycled if applicable.

Tag Sale Administration

At the request of the client we can conduct a tag sale of personal property that has been left behind. Sales of property can be conducted in a number of ways including neighborhood tag sales, auction sales, and through internet sites such as eBay or Craigslist.

Personal Property Appraisal

Appraisals are a useful tool for estates; they can be utilized for estate planning, tax filing for estate or charitable donations, and the equitable distribution of the property among family members. The appraisal process includes the expert examination, description, photography, market research, and valuation of home contents, art, antiques, jewelry, collections and furniture. With the most respected credentials in the industry, these appraisals are conducted under the aegis of a Certified Member of the Appraisers Association of America and Accredited Senior Appraiser of the American Society of Appraisers. They comply with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) and are available by printed copy or electronic transmission. For the purpose of selling items, a verbal appraisal may be appropriate.
