Do You Live Out of State?
We have many customers that will call us from out of state or not locally located in Houston with this scenario "My mother passed away and she is a hoarder, I live in New Jersey..." In this scenario the customer mailed us a key to the property, we then went to the property and proposed the most cost effective way to liquidate the excess items. We provided daily before and after photos of the property for the customer to keep in the loop on the progress. There were several items that the customer did want from the property, we packed and shipped these items to New Jersey. We also came across thousands of photos, we scanned these photos and provided them in digital format to each of the family members. The property was liquidated via our recycling program and Estate Sale (our Estate Sales reduces the cost of disposal); a deep clean was performed; we manged the plumber and general maintenance, we also met with the Realtor for the sale of the property. This project from start to ready for Realtor listing was completed in two weeks. We believe this service model works well with many of our customers, our goal is to always service our customers from start to finish.
