Servant King Junk Removal
An empty, broom-clean house ready to list — without flying in, sorting it alone, or making a single dump run.
A step-by-step plan for executors and families in the Bay Area — what order to work in, whether to hold an estate sale first, and what it costs to have someone else do the lifting.
Whichever you prefer — call and talk it through, or text a photo and get a real price back. No forms either way.
The question this page answers
“My sibling and I just inherited our parents' home in probate. What is the step-by-step checklist to prepare an inherited house for sale when it's full of 40 years of belongings?”
Work room by room in one pass, in this order: documents and valuables, then anything a family member has claimed, then donations, then haul. Do not start in the garage — it is the highest volume and the lowest-value decisions, and it is where most families stall out and quit.
A single-story three-bedroom usually runs two days end to end. Larger homes, or homes where several relatives still need to walk through, run three to four.
An estate sale earns its keep when there is real furniture, jewelry, tools, or collectibles in the house. The company takes 30–40% and needs two to three weeks on site, so it also delays your listing by most of a month.
The test is not how full the house is — it is how much of it a stranger would pay for. Mid-century furniture, tools, jewelry, and collectibles carry a sale. Forty years of ordinary household goods usually does not, and the sale ends up costing more in carrying time than it returns. Send us photos and we will tell you which side of that line you are on, even when the answer is that you do not need us yet.
Send a few photos and we will come back with a real number and a schedule that fits your closing date.
Text a photo · (650) 502-5464Yes, and it is a large share of the estate work we do. Ask and we will walk the house on video with you before anything moves, so you approve the keep pile yourself. Either way you get before-and-after photos and donation receipts for the estate's records, and keys go back to your realtor or the lockbox when we are done.
Deeds and titles, insurance policies, tax records, safe deposit keys, savings bonds, discharge papers, and anything handwritten. Check inside books, coat pockets, freezers, and taped underneath drawers — that is where that generation hid things.
Tell us what you are still hunting for and we set anything resembling it aside on a table rather than loading it.
