Homeowners have too much to manage.

The basement nobody has opened in six years. A parent’s house three states away. A listing that can’t go up until the house is cleared. A roof, a furnace, a landscaper and a plumber, all needing to be called by you.

Cleared Homes helps clear the burden — starting with whatever is weighing on you most right now.

What we do

Five ways we help

Professional Home Organization

Whole-home or one room at a time. Closets, kitchens, pantries, garages, basements, home offices and paperwork — sorted into systems that hold up after we leave.

Home & Estate Cleanouts

Whole-house, estate, garage, basement, attic and storage-unit cleanouts — handled by people who sort carefully instead of hauling everything to a dumpster.

Learn more

Downsizing & Senior Transitions

For homeowners moving to something smaller, and for adult children handling a parent’s home — often from another state.

Pre-Sale Home Preparation

The house that isn’t ready to list yet. We clear it, organize what stays, and coordinate the work so it can be photographed and shown.

How it works

Three steps, no surprises

  1. 01

    We talk it through

    A phone call first. You tell us what is weighing on you, and we tell you honestly whether we are the right people for it — before anyone comes out.

  2. 02

    You get a written plan and a fixed price

    Scope, sequence and cost in writing before anything starts. You will know what happens on day one and what the house looks like on the last day.

  3. 03

    We do the work — and keep doing it

    The same people, start to finish. When new things come up later, you call one number instead of finding three contractors.

Our promise

We sort. We don’t just haul.

Anyone can back a truck up to a house and fill it. What families actually need is someone patient enough to notice the wedding photos in the bottom of the box, the savings bond in the filing cabinet, the ring in the coffee can.

Every item goes into one of five piles — and anything we are not certain about waits for you. We never decide what matters to your family.

Our method

Five piles. Nothing guessed at.

Every item in a cleanout goes into one of these. Anything we are not certain about waits for you.

  1. Keep

    Stays with you, organized and easy to find.

  2. Donate

    We handle the pickup and bring you the receipt.

  3. Sell

    Routed to the right estate-sale or auction partner.

  4. Discard

    Removed and disposed of responsibly.

  5. Review

    Anything uncertain waits for you. We never decide for you.

Special handling for valuables, photographs, financial records, legal documents, medications, firearms and collectibles.
