Estate Cleanouts & Home Prep for Inherited Homes in Orlando
Marc George Residential coordinates estate cleanouts, estate sales, repairs and home prep for inherited and probate homes across Central Florida, then lists and sells the home. You get one point of contact instead of a dozen vendors.
What we coordinate
Keepsakes first
Family walks through in person or by video to set aside what they want to keep.
Estate sale
An estate sale company prices and sells furniture, collectibles and household items.
Donations & junk removal
Donation pickups and hauling clear what remains, leaving the home empty.
Cleaning & paint
Deep cleaning, touch-up or full paint, and carpet cleaning or replacement where it pays off.
Repairs
Roof, plumbing, electrical and HVAC quotes, approved by the personal representative before work starts.
Curb appeal
Lawn care, pressure washing and simple landscaping so the home photographs well.
Is prep worth it? Compare the net
We price the home three ways (as-is, after a cleanout and light prep, and after repairs) and subtract the cost of each. The family then chooses the option that leaves the estate with the most, on the same set of facts. Read more in Should You Sell an Inherited House As-Is or Fix It Up First?
Prefer not to prepare it at all? We can sell the home as-is. Ask us about our 30-day sale guarantee, too. See our probate and inherited homes page for the full process.
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to clean out an inherited house before selling it?
No. You can sell with belongings inside. Clearing the home usually improves photos, showings and price, so we compare the cost of a cleanout with the price difference before you decide.
What happens to the belongings?
Family members choose keepsakes first. Then an estate sale company can sell items of value, and donation pickups and junk removal clear the rest.
Who pays for the cleanout and repairs?
These costs are usually paid from estate funds or from the sale proceeds at closing, as the personal representative and heirs agree. Your attorney can advise on your estate.
How long does an estate cleanout take?
Many homes can be cleared in one to three weeks, depending on how much is inside and whether an estate sale is held first.
