Who pays for an estate cleanout?

Will important papers and keepsakes be protected?

Yes, you can ask how the team protects them. Many teams set aside papers, photos and jewelry first and return them to the family. Tell the team what to look for. Photos and papers are usually found early, before large items are moved.

Can the house be sold after a cleanout?

Yes. Once it has been cleared and cleaned, and any repairs are done, a home can be listed or returned. Questions about what must be disclosed are best answered by a real estate attorney or agent.
