How soon after the sale can we list the house on the market?

In many cases we come in and the home is listed for sale as soon as we get it organized and looking good for an estate sale. If you do not already have a realtor, we work closely with a number of top realtors in the metro detroit area and can handle the complete liquidation of the contents of the home and the home itself within a short amount of time.

 

What to do with the items left over after the sale?

We typically see 80-90% of the items sell at the sale and the remaining items still belong to the owner. We do offer a clean-out service for a separate fee and leave the house clean. We can also coordinate the donation of leftover items.
