Sue needed to clear a home covered in sheets—and dust. Some rooms had not been used in decades. It was an overwhelming task that pushed her to consider a dumpster! But we found this humble home in Lombard hid a treasure trove of pristine vintage women’s clothing, over 200 elegant hats, and accessories. We conducted an online auction AND a flash estate sale. Buyers waited overnight for the sale that began at noon! The sale was a huge success and the house was left in broom swept condition—ready for market. Call us before you toss anything! You could have a treasure trove too that you didn't know about.

Trust Departments Trust Us
First Midwest Bank Wealth Management had a challenge: a 3,300 SF home literally filled with a lifetime of treasures. We supported their efforts to sort and organize.

We take pride in providing support to the Trustee teams we serve. We provide inventories, appraisals, organizing, estate sales, online auctions and clean outs. Industry certified, we’re fully insured, our W-2 employees are background screened and held to the highest standards.

Selling The Collection to End All Collections
This home had become overwhelming after decades of collecting.
Our clients received a quote from a junk hauler to clear this home for $13,000. Instead, they turned to us and after days of sorting, an online auction and a 3-day estate sale, they received a check for $9,000 instead! This house’s contents paid for our services and provided a handsome check to the owners. Best of all, they could put the house on the market and move on to the next phase of life.
“I cannot find the words to express my appreciation for all that you have done…sorting and sorting and sorting and sorting...spending SO much extra time...to help me make it through this process. Thank you so very much! … blessings as you continue to provide a wonderful service to so many people who need you, just as we did.

Family History Preserved with Unexpected Kindness
John called us to downsize his substantial collection of woodworking, model airplane and outdoor equipment. He had a terminal illness and had sold his house quickly to relocate to a 500 sq. foot senior living apartment.
In the process, John didn’t expect to meet Melissa, a genealogist and one of our auction winners. To his great surprise, she graciously offered to digitize his family photos for him--at a crucial moment when he could have decided to let them go.

“They did it with smiles on their faces and good cheerful friendship.” -John H

Ready for the Market!
We are proud to have helped clear a home so it can be restored to its glory—especially a Chicago Bungalow. Oh, and Joe was a peach, too.
My sisters and I were working to move our Dad out of a home that he had been in for 50 years. Mary Beth took great care to not only respect that but also to work through all the many, many details of sorting, sifting and going through everything in a four bedroom home. Her attention to detail was impeccable.
Mary Beth and her team delivered on everything in the proposal…moving our Dad out of his home went so smoothly that we couldn’t believe it. If you’re in the process of moving your parents, give her an opportunity to share the many ways that she can make that experience stress free for everyone involved.

“I live in Atlanta and needed help emptying my Mother’s apartment after her sudden death. I am not sure how I could have managed without Mary Beth and her team. They even found my Mother’s AND my Grandmother’s wedding rings that I couldn’t find!”

Nancy Drew in Action
Deb Morgan, Transition Specialist at Caring Transitions Chicago is our “Nancy Drew”. She’s a skilled sleuth at finding lost items.
When Mary was stressed about the lost ring, Deb was determined to bring it back and ease Mary’s mind. What she found was an entire box of family heirloom jewelry, including the Grandmother’s ring which had been forgotten long ago. We’re lucky to have employees like Deb, who care enough to find the items that matter most to a client in transition. And return them!
Believe it or not, many clean out companies keep the items they find in the house. WE DO NOT. We return valuables and important paperwork, including cash that is found.
