​​Estate Executors:

Are you OVERWHELMED by the
work it takes to get your
​​parents' house cleared out? 


You need Sage's help if:

  • You don't want the ​family's memories tossed in a dumpster, but nobody wants the leftover items.
  • ​You have a house full of stuff that you don't know what to do with.
  • You are spending a lot time, energy, and money traveling to the inherited house over + over.
  • You have a busy life of your own, and this huge project is creating more stress + guilt. 
  • Even if you wanted to do the job yourself, you don't have the local contacts to make smart decisions. 
  • You feel like you're living in a nightmare!

Sage Organizing Co. can empty the whole house in a week.


That's right, Sage can take over for you at any stage in the process.

Estate Clearing
Evaluation + Estimate​


​ Candi has spent years as an Estate Clearing Professional helping overwhelmed families and executors
get homes + estates emptied out quickly, so they can move forward with their lives. 

Common Realizations:

  • If you live outside of Charlotte, it's nearly impossible to find the time, energy, and resources you need to get the project done quickly. 
  • ​You need a local "point" person to handle all the details. 
  • You don't have the mental energy to take on a huge task like clearing out a whole house. 

 Estate Clearing Process 


When you work with Sage Organizing Co., we will join forces with you to:
  • Do an in-depth informational interview to learn exactly what is going on with the house or estate
  • Conduct a thorough walk-through of the home to evaluate exactly what needs to be done
  • Provide you with a customized estimate, specific to your job, that lays out all the details


​Lets take a look at the steps involved

How We Work


STEP 1 | INFORMATIONAL INTERVIEW
  • We set up a call (via phone or Skype)  to learn all the background information about your situation...and you find out what you can expect from us.
  • ​​Since we may never meet in person, I like to get a very clear understanding of your goals, timeline, and expectations.
STEP 2 | ONSITE EVALUATION 
  • I do an on-site evaluation of the home or estate, in the company of a person of your choosing ( most often a family friend, neighbor, or Realtor.)
  • I look in every space in the house: every room, closet, drawer, etc.  This ensures I can create an accurate estimate of time needed to complete the job.​​​


STEP 3 | ESTIMATE
  • I send you a  customized estimate  specific to the needs of your project.
  • The estimate includes a schedule, a detailed scope of work, fee schedule, service fee estimate, and standard terms  and conditions. 
  • ​When you accept and sign the estimate, we get down to work. Then you can sit back and let us take care of the rest.  ​

 Pricing 


We believe in being up front about the cost, so
you can make an informed decision. 

Estate Clearing Evaluation +  Estimate: $247
We use our 3 step process to evaluate your situation, the home or estate, and provide you with a customized estimate. 
You then decide whether to accept the estimate or not. 
The $247 is non-refundable if you do not choose to accept the estimate and enter into contract. 
When you  do accept, here is what you can expect for pricing. 
 Acceptance of the Estimate
When we enter into contract for Full Service Estate Clearing services, a 50% deposit on estimated services and supplies is required.  Your $247 deposit is credited toward this.

We work the project on an hourly basis with a set rate: 
  • One person (Candi): $85/hour
  • Two-person team: $135/hour
  • Three-person team: $175/hour

Note: any other service providers that you choose to hire (such as appraisers, trash removal services, shredding companies etc.), are contracted and paid directly by you.  
End of Onsite Work: 25% due
We structure our payments out so you can rest assured that the work is progressing like you expect. 
Finalizing and Reporting: remainder is due.
Once payment for the remainder of actual fees is received, we send you the Final Report, including all the tax documentation, which could be  worth thousands of dollars of deductions on your tax return.

FAQs


​What is involved with the informational interview?

When you purchase the Estate Clearing Evaluation + Estimate, I send  a link to schedule the Informational Interview, as well as a questionnaire for you to fill out before the call. During our call, I focus on getting all the background information about your situation. Since we may never meet in person, I  like to get a very clear understanding of your goals, timeline, and expectations.

How does the onsite evaluation work? ​

I do an on-site evaluation of the home or estate, in the company of a person of your choosing ( most often a family friend, neighbor, or Realtor.)  I look in  and photograph every space in the house: every room, closet, drawer, etc.  This ensures I can create an accurate estimate of what is required to complete the job.

​What all is included in the estimate?

We send you a written estimate within 2 business days of the Onsite Evaluation. The estimate includes a proposed schedule, a detailed scope of work, a fee schedule, a service fee estimate, and standard terms + conditions. 

What happens when I accept the estimate?

Fantastic!  When you sign and accept the estimate, we'll get down to work.  Fees are due in accordance with the Fee Schedule detailed out in your Estimate.  Your $247 payment is immediately credited toward your fees for the Full Service Estate Clearing. 

What if I don't want to accept the estimate?  

We understand.  Our Full Service Estate Clearing services aren't the best match for everyone. Please note that the $247 is non-refundable. 

​
Do you do estate sales?

We can make it happen.  We work in partnership with several local estate sale and auciton houses to help our clients meet their goals for the estate.  

​What if there are only  a few items we would like to try to sell? 

No problem. If you'd like to see if any items are valuable enough to sell, we can include that in our estimate.  We partner with  certified personal property appraisers, who  can review the items for you for a small fee.
