Are you struggling to process the belongings of a loved one and don't know where to start?
There are times when it is necessary to clear out the home of a loved one.

Sorting and Packing
The decision-making piece of the puzzle is by far the most difficult for families. Each item in the home requires a decision, regardless of how small. We work directly with the family to provide the resources necessary to complete the clean-out. Our team of organizers are seasoned decision-makers and can make them on your behalf, with some guidelines laid out in advance. We can discard what is waste, pack items to sell, and donate separately while setting aside things that may be of value to the family, including paperwork, photos, and hidden valuables.
This service relieves the family of the painful overwhelm associated with making so many decisions and provides insight into what should be sold or donated.
Hoarding and Squalid Homes
This service removes the family from experiencing how a loved one has been living when extreme clutter or squalid conditions exist. Many of a home's contents are discarded or recycled in these situations. In such cases, the Neat as a Pin® team will make clear decisions on what can and cannot be salvaged based on guidelines provided by the client or family. We work directly with the family to provide the resources necessary to complete the clean-out.
Note: If the family member is still living, we require their blessing and prefer their participation.
Support Services
When the family is willing and able to perform the actual clean-out work, Neat as a Pin® can serve as a support role, offering resources and insight into completing the project. This type of support is beneficial when family members struggle to make decisions.
