Estate Cleanouts in Cobourg, Port Hope & Northumberland County
Updated: Oct 8
Northumberland County is home to many long-time residents, and many family homes here are full of a lifetime of belongings. When it's time to clear one, after a death, a move into care or a downsize, The Estate Care Company is here to help families in Cobourg, Port Hope, Brighton, Campbellford, Warkworth and the communities in between.
Why families call us
Clearing an estate is emotional and physical work, and it often lands on one person while they're also handling the will, the bank and the sale of the house. We take on the sorting, selling and clearing so you can focus on your family.
Estate services across Northumberland
Estate clean-outs: sorting, removing and responsibly clearing a home, room by room
Estate liquidation: finding and listing the items worth selling, usually through an online auction platform we choose with you
Senior move management: sorting and packing for a downsize or a move to retirement living or long-term care
Estate consultation: a calm, practical plan for executors and families who don't know where to start
Our process
Free walkthrough: we visit the home, listen to what you need and give you a plan and estimate
Sort: keepsakes and documents are set aside for the family first
Sell: items with resale value are photographed and listed in an online auction
Clear: remaining items are donated where possible and the rest is removed
Ready: the home is left ready for your realtor, buyer or the next chapter
Pricing that makes sense
When items sell through an online auction, our coordination fee is 10% of the net sale proceeds, plus hourly labour ($45/hr, or $81/hr for a two-person crew) for sorting, staging and clean-out work. Items with resale value help offset the cost of clearing the home, and you always know how the numbers work before we begin.
Book a free walkthrough
Every estate is different, so we start with a free, no-obligation walkthrough of the home. We'll look at what's there, talk through your timeline and give you a clear plan and estimate. Call or text 705-559-4806, email info@estatecarecompany.com, or request your walkthrough online.
