Estate Liquidations & Cleanouts in Maryland and Northern Virginia

Sanford & Son Estate Specialists handles the whole job when a home needs to be emptied, sorted and sold. One call, one crew, and the house is ready for whatever comes next.

​

Estate Liquidations 

We inventory the contents, sell what has value through our own channels, credit the proceeds against your cleanout and leave the house empty. No weekend crowds through the house, no tagging every item, no waiting weeks for a sale date. Learn more about estate liquidations.

Whole-House Cleanouts

Basements, attics, garages, sheds, barns and storage units, sorted and cleared, with the house handed back broom-clean. See our estate cleanout service.

Hoarding Cleanouts

Discreet, respectful cleanouts by an unmarked crew, with safety first and no judgment. Hoarding cleanout details.

Out-of-Town Owner Support

Send us the keys. We photograph and inventory everything, you decide what to keep from a distance, and we handle the rest, including the storage unit. How we work with out-of-town owners.

Probate and Executor Support

We work with executors, attorneys and realtors on court timelines, itemized inventories, donation receipts and a clear paper trail for the estate. Probate and executor services.

Donation and Haul-Away

More than half of what leaves a house is donated or recycled. Only what is left gets hauled. Haul-away is part of every cleanout we do, not the whole job.

​

How It Works

1. Free estimate

Call or text 443-223-8036 or send us photos. We can usually walk the property within a few days and give you one flat number.

2. One clear quote

You get one price for the whole job, with the resale value of the contents credited back against it. No surprise fees.

3. The full estate liquidated in a few days

Our crew sorts, sells, donates and hauls, usually within a few days of starting. You do not need to be there.

4. House left photo-ready

Our partner Streaker's Cleaning finishes with a deep move-out clean, so the house is ready for listing photos, showings or the new owner the moment we leave.
