Settling an Estate in Greenville, SC

Sorting the home

We go through the house room by room, sorting and organizing everything so nothing important is missed. Please do not throw things away first; sorting is part of what we do, and everyday items often have more value than families expect.

Setting aside keepsakes and family items

Before anything is sold, we set aside photos, papers, heirlooms, and the pieces family members want to keep. We label and hold them so each person gets what was chosen for them.

An estate sale for what the family does not keep

Furniture, collections, and household goods can be sold in a full-service estate sale. We stage, price, market, and run the sale in the home, so the family does not need to be there. Learn more about our estate sales in Greenville.

Donation and responsible disposal

After the sale, usable items go to donation wherever possible. What cannot be sold or donated is hauled away responsibly.

A cleanout so the house is empty and broom clean

We clear what is left and leave the house empty and broom clean. See how our house cleanouts in Greenville work.

Working with executors and out-of-town family

Executors and family members often live in another city or state. We handle the work on the ground here, keep everyone updated regularly, and give you one point of contact the whole way through. Any legal or probate questions belong with your estate attorney; we work alongside the professionals you choose.
