  • We highly suggest being there to declutter with us deciding what items you’d like to keep or donate. But we can absolutely do our job if you can’t/would prefer not to be present. Generally, we work alone after the declutter phase has been completed. We can check in throughout the day virtually, by phone, or by text/email - whatever works for you!

If you are dealing with a more complex situation, we encourage you to reach out, and we can refer you to professionals who specialize in those areas.
