Clearing one after a death or a retirement move is a lot to carry, and the buildings want a certificate of insurance on file and a reserved service-elevator window. We take that off your plate. Tell us what the family wants kept — papers, a few volumes, a piece of furniture — and we set it aside first; the rest of the books go to a donation partner or library sale where we can, with a receipt for the estate, and the rest of the home is recycled or disposed of responsibly. We send the COI to the managing agent, book the service elevator, and leave the apartment broom-clean.
You don't need to schedule an in-home estimate — send photos of the rooms and we quote the whole home in minutes, priced by how much it fills a truck. Send photos for an exact quote.
