Content removal and/or estate liquidation

Organizing and de-cluttering your home
Senior Transition Services is often called upon to help a home owner organize and declutter a house in preparation for sale. By carefully removing the accumulated clutter that could easily distract a prospective buyer from seeing the actual size and attractive amenities of a house, a much better impression about the true beauty of the property is made. Realtors frequently tell their clients that decluttering helps sell a house more quickly.
