CLEANING AND REPAIR SERVICES

 

     PROPERTY CLEANUP AND DEBRIS REMOVAL:

         We remove everything not attached to the house, and dispose of it.  I have a lot of experience with this service, especially emptying and cleaning houses due to be marketed by Trust Real Estate departments. I have accounts with all of the drop box services, in fact I am on a first name basis with Cloudburst Recycling!

Since there is an appraiser present, items of value that may have been overlooked are recovered and sold.  Some recent finds:

A painting sitting on top of a trash heap: $3000 (sold through Butterfields)
An abandoned teddy bear: $720 (sold on eBay)
Three cans of tennis balls: $277 (sold on eBay)
Two postally used envelopes pulled from the trash (literally): $193.00 (sold on eBay)
A poor condition moldy comic book: $900 (sold on eBay)
A Japanese glass fishing float pulled from a house filled with trash: $4227 (eBay)
