After decades of living, the family homestead is now vacant and needing to be sold. It is a story that I see many times in a week. Families are struggling to make decisions about what to do with the remnants of their lives. Often siblings do not agree on how to proceed with liquidating mom and dad's 'stuff.' In an effort to be thoughtful, they may agonize over every trinket, cookbook, clothing or tools. The process of sorting can become long and drawn out. With best intentions, the family unintentionally costs hundreds or perhaps thousands of dollars to the estate. The 'holding' costs of a home (even one that is paid in full) need to be closely evaluated. In addition to the property taxes and home owner's insurance and possibly association dues, there are utilities and maintenance as well as lawn care, snow removal, etc. Also, vacant homes can be a magnet for vandalism, vermin and vagrants. One of my vacant listings developed a gas leak. Another had a sewer pipe back up from the old maple tree in the front yard. Yet another suffered from ice dams. While it is understandable that no one should disrespect the contents of the home, it is the house itself that holds the monetary value. Don't let the personal property hold you back unnecessarily from liquidating the greatest asset, the real estate. Sort Toss Pack along with OEA Realty can offer a quick, affordable option to advance the clean out. Sort Toss Pack will respectfully 're-home' all that is possible and sell what is 'saleable.'

It is not necessary to re-carpet, remodel or redecorate. Save cost and hassle by having Sort Toss Pack and OEA Realty handle the estate liquidation.
