Emptying the house shouldn’t be a second full-time job.
Tactical, project-managed estate clearing delivered to your front step.
Your Time is Valuable.
Let Us Do the Heavy Lifting.
Clearing out a house is rarely just about moving furniture - it is usually the bottleneck holding up the rest of your life. Every month a property sits full, it bleeds thousands of dollars in property taxes, utilities, and holding costs. Whether you are busy or simply operating on a tight corporate deadline, ARC Estate Services acts as your dedicated project manager to completely decommission, liquidate, and clear the property. You hand us the keys, and we hand you back a perfectly empty, broom-swept house.
Who We Step In To Help:
The Family
You are trying to sort through decades of memories, but you are paralyzed by the sheer volume of items in boxes, barns, basements, and attics. You need a trusted team to secure family keepsakes while making the rest of the clutter disappear.
The Out-of-Town Professional
You have a demanding career and live multiple states away. You cannot spend your limited weekends to argue with dumpster companies and junk haulers.
The Proactive Parent
You are ready to downsize or pass the family home down to your relatives but you need decades of accumulation cleared out before you can make the move.
The Renovator & Investor
You just closed on a packed estate and your general contractor is scheduled to start demolition. You need the house completely emptied to the bare walls immediately so construction isn't delayed.
Trustees, Banks, & Real Estate Brokers
You are managing a stalled probate or foreclosed asset. You need a fully insured, clinical B2B partner who can execute a highly organized liquidation and cleanout without needing to be micromanaged.
Triage, Securing, and Finding the Hidden Value
You don't have to spend your weekends sorting through dusty boxes - that is exactly what you hire us to do. We evaluate the property to establish a realistic timeline, handle the municipal permits, coordinate the dumpsters, and begin the heavy sorting. Before a single item is discarded, our team applies a forensic eye to the property to identify valuable art, mid-century furniture, and antiques that standard cleanout crews might throw in the trash. We also implement our strict "Family Box" protocol: if we find old photographs, sensitive financial documents, military medals, or hidden jewelry, we secure them immediately and return them safely to you.
Asset Brokering & Liquidation
Once the house is organized, we get to work recovering cash for the estate. We run a professional, heavily advertised public estate sale right inside the home to liquidate standard assets quickly. However, we fiercely protect your premium items. If we identify high-value pieces - like rare woodblock prints or significant antiquities - we extract them from the public sale. We then act as your brokering agent, seamlessly transferring these premium assets to reputable regional auction houses. This ensures the estate captures the true global market value for significant pieces, rather than settling for local garage-sale prices.
The Final Cleanout and 'Broom-Swept' Finish
When the liquidation phase is over, you aren't left with a house that is still half full of items and heavy furniture. We bring in our trusted hauling crews to remove whatever is left. We manage the heavy lifting, make reasonable efforts to coordinate with local charities to donate usable leftover items, and ensure all remaining debris is hauled away. Before we finalize the project, we ensure the floors are broom-swept and the house is a perfectly empty blank slate, ready for listing photos, your contractor, or the closing table.
Clear, Upfront, and Transparent Pricing
You shouldn't have to guess what an estate clean out will cost. Our pricing is mathematically calculated based on the specific size and density of the home. For a standard property (up to 3,000 square feet), we charge a flat $3,000 Project Management Fee (split into a $1,500 initiation payment and a $1,500 final payment upon completion), plus a 30% commission on the estate sale. For larger homes or heavily packed outbuildings, we simply add a transparent $1.00 for every additional square foot.
No Hidden Markups on Dumpsters or Labor
To pay for the physical costs of clearing the home - like dumpster rentals, municipal permits, and the Phase 3 hauling crews - the estate provides an upfront Operational Expense Retainer. We use this fund strictly to pay the third-party crews with zero hidden markups. At the end of the project, we provide you with a flawless ledger and every single receipt, and we refund any unused money directly back to the estate.
