The speed of a junk removal company. The judgment of an estate sale company. We clear homes across Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Maryland, sorting room by room so what matters goes where you want it.
Pick the situation you are in. Every job starts the same way, with a free walkthrough and one fixed price in writing.
When a parent passes or a family home has to be emptied, you need a crew that treats it like a house, not a load. We work room by room with you or your executor, set aside what the family is keeping, flag anything worth selling, send usable furniture to donation, and leave the house broom clean.
Discreet, patient and without judgment. We work at the pace the situation needs, recover personal papers, photographs and valuables as we go, and bring the right equipment for heavy or difficult conditions so the home can be lived in, sold or rented again.
For lenders, asset managers, landlords and property managers. We clear REO and post-eviction properties, photograph the work for your file, and hand back a property that is ready for whatever comes next.
A listing cannot be photographed full of someone else's life. We clear, sweep and hand back the property so you can shoot, stage and go live, and we talk to the seller directly so you do not have to play go-between.
Every room, the basement, the attic, the garage and the shed, in one job. For landlords between tenants, we empty and document the unit so the deposit conversation is simple and the next lease can start.
Some of what is in the house is worth something. Before anything leaves, we tell you which pieces have resale value, introduce you to trusted dealers where it makes sense, and credit qualifying items back against your cleanout.
Your family's things should go where you want them to go. We deliver usable furniture and household goods to the charities you choose, recycle metals and electronics properly, and treat the landfill as the last stop, not the first.
When a house has to be emptied, most families end up choosing between two kinds of company. An estate sale company knows what things are worth, but it is slow and takes a cut. A junk removal company is fast, but everything goes in the truck, including the things that mattered.
Zach started ZV Estate Services in Claymont to be the one call that does both properly. We sort room by room, set aside what the family is keeping, tell you which pieces are worth something before the truck arrives, and send usable things to donation instead of the landfill. Licensed, insured and locally owned.
No surprises and no guesswork. You know the plan and the price before anything moves.
Tell us about the property and what needs to happen. A few details is plenty.
We see the property in person, note what is staying, and flag anything with resale value.
You get one clear number before we start. No surprises on the day.
We sort, donate, recycle and haul, then leave the property broom clean.
Same kind of room, before we arrive and after we leave. Slide the handle, or pick a job type.
