Preparing an Estate for Sale: Cleaning & Repairs Guide

Preparing the Estate Property for Market

After securing court approval to sell the estate property, the next critical step is preparing the home for the market. This process often involves extensive cleaning and junk removal to present the property in the best possible condition, attract potential buyers, and maximize market value.

Estate properties can be challenging to manage, especially when filled with years of accumulated belongings, personal items, and sometimes even debris. For personal representatives—particularly those who are out of town or balancing other responsibilities—clearing out a property can feel overwhelming.

  1. Assessment and Recommendations
    We start by thoroughly assessing the property to determine what’s needed to prepare it for sale. This includes identifying items for removal, areas needing deep cleaning, and potential repairs or improvements to enhance the property’s marketability.
  2. Coordinating Quotes and Services
    To save you time and effort, we arrange property access for service providers to gather quotes for cleaning, junk removal, and repairs. You’ll receive at least two competitive estimates for each service, allowing you to make informed decisions without the hassle of managing multiple contractors.
