Our Estate Cleanout and Moving Process

We make the estate cleanout and moving process in Seattle simple and stress-free. These are the steps we follow:

1. Consultation and Planning

We offer a no-cost, no-obligation meeting to understand your timeline and wishes. We’ll walk the property with you, discuss your wishes, and design a move plan just for you.
2. Sorting and Organization

Our team assists with sorting belongings into categories: keep, donate, sell, recycle, or dispose. We pay special attention to heirlooms and memories.
3. Professional Packing and Moving

We prepare everything for storage, shipment, or direct move. Whether moving across town or out of state, our trained movers take care of all logistics with care.
