Estate Liquidation and Cleanouts in Great Falls
Great Falls is the largest-lot community we serve, and the cleanouts are the largest, too. Homes along Georgetown Pike, Walker Road, Springvale Road and the lanes off Leigh Mill Road sit on one to five acres, often with a barn, a workshop, a pool house or a detached garage. Many were built in the 1960s and 1970s by families who have been there ever since. When one of those properties changes hands, clearing it is a project, and Sanford & Son Estate Specialists treats it that way. Call 443-223-8036 for a free walkthrough.
Why Great Falls needs an estate specialist
A Great Falls property can hold the contents of a large house plus everything that accumulated in the outbuildings over fifty years: tractors and mowers, horse tack, woodworking shops, boats, vintage cars under covers, lumber, fencing and decades of equipment. Much of it has value. A junk hauler charges by the truckload and takes it all to the landfill. We inventory it, sell what sells, donate what can be used, recycle what can be recycled, and haul only what is left. The proceeds from the sale are credited against your invoice.

How a Great Falls project runs
Walkthrough. The owner walks the whole property with you, every building included, in person or by video. You receive a written quote and a schedule for the entire job.
Keep list. Anything you want kept, shipped or delivered to family is set aside and photographed before the crew starts.
Sale. Furniture, art and household contents are priced and sold. Equipment, vehicles and specialty items go to the channels that pay best for them.
Donation and recycling. Usable goods go to charities in Fairfax and Loudoun counties, with receipts. Metal, electronics, paper and cardboard are separated.
Haul-away and handoff. The remainder is loaded over several trailer runs. Each building is swept, photographed and handed back. Great Falls projects typically take three to five days on site.
Out-of-town owners
Great Falls heirs are often in another state, and the property is too big to manage by phone alone. We become your eyes on the ground. Room-by-room and building-by-building photos go to you before anything moves, video walkthroughs cover the questions, and nothing leaves without your approval. Keys can come from a caretaker, a realtor or a lockbox. We coordinate with your attorney, trustee or listing agent for the handoff.
Privacy on private roads
Great Falls properties are set back and private, and we keep them that way. Unmarked crew, no signage, nothing staged at the road, and the owner on site to speak with a neighbor or caretaker if needed.
Frequently asked questions
Can you handle farm equipment, vehicles and boats?
Yes. Equipment and vehicles are inventoried and sold through appropriate channels, with titles and paperwork handled properly.
How many days does a Great Falls cleanout take?
Usually three to five days on site, depending on the outbuildings. The quote includes the schedule.
Is there a travel charge from Maryland?
No. The written quote covers the full job. Severna Park to Great Falls is a little over an hour.
Can you clear the house but leave the barn for later?
Yes. We can phase the work by building if that fits your timeline or the sale.

Yes. Great Falls, Vienna and the older parts of Reston are all within our Northern Virginia service area.
