ESTATE SALES

Full-Service Estate Sales, Start to Finish

Inventory and promotion, a two-day staffed sale, closeout and payout, then transition cleaning to get the property ready to list. Book any single piece, or hand the whole process to one team.

HOW IT WORKS

One estate, one team, start to finish

Most estate sale companies hand you back an empty house and a check. Blues Cleaners goes the rest of the way: once the sale closes, our team can clean the property out, handle interior and exterior improvements on request, and get it ready for a real estate agent to list. We work with a few trusted local agents we're glad to introduce you to.

You decide how much of the process you want. Book the estate sale on its own, add the cleanout, add interior or exterior improvements, or hand us the full gambit and let one team carry it from first walkthrough to sold.

THE PROCESS

Three steps to closed

Every estate sale we run follows the same three-part process, so you always know what's next and what it costs.

Inventory & Promotion

We walk the property, inventory and price every item, set the sale date, and promote it to our buyer network and the public so the right people show up.

The Sale

A staffed, two-day sale event. We run the floor, handle pricing and negotiations, and keep the property secure for the full two days.

Closeout & Payout

We reconcile what sold, clear out what didn't through donation or disposal, and deliver your payout with a full accounting.

AFTER THE SALE

From sold to listing-ready

Once the sale closes, we can carry the property the rest of the way, so it's ready for an agent to put on the market.

Next Step

Transition Cleaning

A full cleanout and deep clean of the property, inside and out, so it shows well for photos, showings, and buyers.

FREQUENTLY ASKED

Estate sale questions

Can I just book the estate sale and handle the rest myself?

Yes. Every piece of our process, the sale, the cleanout, and any interior or exterior improvements, can be booked on its own. Most clients choose to bundle them, but nothing is required beyond the sale itself.

How long does the whole process take?

Inventory and promotion typically take one to two weeks depending on the size of the estate. The sale itself runs two days. Cleanout and any improvement work are scheduled right after closeout, based on scope.

What happens to items that don't sell?

Anything left after the two-day sale is handled through donation or disposal as part of our closeout process, so the property is fully cleared either way.

Do you help list the property afterward?

We get the property clean and presentation-ready so it shows well, and we can introduce you to a few trusted local real estate agents when you're ready to list or sell.

What areas do you serve?

We serve the Quad Cities region, including Davenport, Bettendorf, Rock Island, Moline, East Moline, and the surrounding Eastern Iowa and Western Illinois communities.
