Full Home Clear-Outs
(Vacant or Non-Occupied Homes)
Get the House Empty
Our Full Home Clear-Out service is designed for vacant or non-occupied homes that need to be completely emptied. We manage the entire process from start to finish, clearing the home and handling all contents. For this service we do not work side-by-side with clients to sort items. Instead, we follow a clear plan and handle the project on your behalf.
Many of our projects are completed for out-of-state clients, with updates provided throughout so you don’t need to be onsite. The end result is a fully cleared home, ready for its next step.
How it Works:
-
We walk the property to evaluate the project and gather details for your estimate. This is not a working session — it’s strictly for assessment. There is no fee for this visit, and your estimate is provided within a few days. You can reach out via our contact page to get a walkthrough scheduled.
-
Once the project begins, our team manages the clear-out from start to finish based on the agreed plan. We systematically clear the home’s contents, separating items to sell, donate, or remove. When selling furniture is appropriate, we identify marketable items and handle the selling process from start to finish. Donations and trash are coordinated so the project continues to move forward efficiently.
-
If the family has identified items to keep ahead of time, we can pack those items and coordinate shipping if needed.
If additional items are found during the clear-out that may be important, we set them aside and confirm before including them.
This is limited to select items and is not a full packing service.
The Results are Evident!

Words From Past Clients

A thoughtful, seamless clear-out from start to finish
Teri and her team truly were miracle workers. They efficiently and respectfully sorted, saved, donated, and cleared out my parents’ three-story home and all outbuildings—an overwhelming and emotional task our family could not have handled alone. Teri walked the property, created a clear plan with a detailed timeline and budget, and communicated consistently throughout the entire process.
Family requests for specific items were honored, forgotten items were thoughtfully brought to our attention, and donations were handled exactly as we requested—aligned with our late father’s wishes to give rather than sell. What we dreaded became a seamless, smooth, and surprisingly painless closing of a chapter. We are deeply grateful—Julie Wilson (Palmer)

Trusted help when family homes need to be cleared
Teri is amazing - just hire her!!
Teri worked with my father and stepmother to clear out their house and get it ready to sell. My father has lived in the house for over 40 years - so there was A LOT!
She was incredibly patient and stayed on track - despite things taking longer than originally anticipated. I don't live in the same state and was impressed at how communicative Teri was, keeping me updated on the progress and how she navigated unforeseen challenges along the way. We worked closely together at the end to finish the project. It was the best money spent. If you or a family member need help clearing out a home, don't hesitate - just call her.—Kerri Albright (Anchorage) -
From 60 years of stuff to market-ready
I can highly recommend Teri and her crew for any declutter, organizing, or a complete clean out project. Teri helped my sister and I clean out 60 years worth of “stuff” in order to get our Dad’s house ready to put on the market. Her organizational skills and efficiency made our chore so much easier than we expected. I don’t know what not know how we would have handled everything without her and her crew. Highly recommend Teri !!—Sharon McCracken (Anchorage)

Expert help—even from miles away
I am incredibly grateful for Teri’s support during my parents’ relocation from Anchorage. Living in Virginia, I knew I couldn’t manage the clear-out in person, and Teri truly was a lifesaver. She listened carefully, created a clear plan, and remained flexible as unexpected changes came up—including taking on the full clear-out of the home in preparation for sale.
Teri showed remarkable patience and respect while helping our family sort through what mattered most. Her attention to detail, professionalism, and calm approach made a stressful situation manageable. She also helped sell items quickly while keeping everything on schedule. Thanks to Teri, my parents’ relocation stayed on track, and I honestly don’t know how we would have done it without her.—Alysia Janeway

From Overwhelmed to Ready to Move
I lived in my house for 36 years and raised five kids there, so you can imagine how much stuff had accumulated. I became completely overwhelmed trying to sort through everything on my own. Teri came in, made a clear plan, and in just two days of sorting and one day of packing, it was done. What a relief. It would have taken me forever by myself. —Nancy Murphy Kruse (Anchorage)

Trusted support for families managing from afar
Declutter to Move did an A++ job helping our family that lives out of state with sorting, selling, donating, packing and shipping for a home my mother lived in for almost 25 years. The owner, Teri, is a top notch organizing professional, and I have worked with two others in another state that were not as efficient and knowledgeable. She sold everything we listed through her services, and our things arrived to us professionally packed (no breakage). Teri is also easy to communicate with and made herself available via text, phone and email. I can't recommend her services enough. —Jill Gartman (Anchorage)
Frequently Asked Questions
How the process works without you onsite
-
A full home clear-out involves emptying an unoccupied home of its contents. This includes clearing belongings, coordinating selling and donations, and removing remaining items so the home is left completely clear and ready for its next use.
Project timelines vary based on the size and condition of the home, but most clear-outs are completed within a week.
-
No. Clients are not onsite during the clear-out.
Any items the family knows they want to keep should be removed prior to our start date. If there are specific items you would like us to watch for, we can do that as part of the process.
As we clear the home, we set aside anything that appears important or worth reviewing and keep you updated along the way. This service is designed to be fully managed so you don’t need to be present.
-
Decisions are based on guidelines established before the project begins.
All known keep items should be removed prior to the start date so the home is ready for clearing.
We follow those guidelines as we work, watching for any specific items requested and setting aside anything that appears important or unclear. When needed, we reach out with photos or video to confirm decisions.
Many of our clients are out of state, and we manage the process through clear communication and updates so you do not need to be onsite.
-
Yes. Full home clear-outs are commonly requested for estates and end-of-life transitions and are handled with care, discretion, and respect for the situation.
-
Clear-outs are billed at an hourly rate. After the initial walk through, a cost estimate can be provided based on the scope of the project, volume of contents, and whether additional services such as roll-off dumpsters or dump runs are needed.
