Standard Estate Package
A Practical, Market-Ready Starting Point for Estate Properties
The Standard Estate Package is designed for most estate properties that require structured clear-out, preparation, and presentation before being listed for sale. It provides a balanced level of support—covering the core work required to make a home clean, functional, and market-ready—without over-investing or introducing unnecessary renovation.
This package is most often selected by executors, families, and trustees who need professional coordination, clear scope, and predictable costs, while ensuring the property is handled with care and respect.
Who This Package Is Suited For
The Standard Estate Package is best suited for:
- Detached or semi-detached homes and townhomes
- Typical family residences with accumulated contents
- Estates where the property is largely intact but not sale-ready
- Situations where the executor or family is not managing the work themselves
- Properties that benefit from decluttering, light preparation, and staging support
This package is intentionally designed to handle the most common estate scenarios we encounter.
What’s Included in the Standard Package
Estate Clear-Out & Content Handling
We coordinate the removal of general household contents to prepare the property for cleaning, preparation, and staging.
Included support typically covers:
- On-site labour coordination for sorting and removal
- Yard bin coordination for general contents and debris
- Donation drop-offs where appropriate
- Clear separation of personal, sensitive, or sentimental items
Nothing proceeds without agreed handling rules for personal belongings.
Sensitive Item Identification & Care
Estate properties often contain items that require special attention. As part of the Standard Package, we implement a defined process to:
- Identify and set aside personal, sensitive, or important items
- Document items requiring family or executor review
- Coordinate next steps only after direction is confirmed
Where required, certified document destruction and secure hard-drive disposal can be arranged through an approved specialist provider.
Interior Preparation & Small Repairs
The Standard Package includes non-structural preparation work intended to improve presentation and buyer perception.
Typical preparation includes:
- Patch and repair of minor wall damage
- Neutral interior painting within defined square-footage limits
- Basic preparation to create a clean, well-maintained property
All preparation work is focused on sale readiness, not renovation for its own sake.
Cleaning & Final Presentation
Once clear-out and preparation are complete, we coordinate professional cleaning to ensure the property is presented in a clean, move-in-ready condition for staging and showings.
This step ensures:
- Floors, walls, kitchen & bahtroom surfaces are properly-cleaned
- The home presents consistently throughout
- No last-minute scrambling before listing
Starter Staging Budget & Coordination
The Standard Package includes a starting staging budget, applied toward professional staging services.
This budget:
- Covers the initial staging scope
- Is applied toward the final staging plan
- May adjust based on home size, layout, and market requirements
Staging decisions are guided by market appeal and buyer expectations, not personal taste. Any staging scope beyond the starting budget is reviewed and approved in advance.
Project Coordination & Communication
Throughout the process, we act as the contact point to liaise and managing trades, schedules, and updates so the family or executor is not left overseeing day-to-day work.
You can expect:
- Clear timelines
- Progress updates
- Defined scope boundaries
- Advance approval for any changes
What the Standard Package Does Not Include
To maintain clarity and predictable pricing:
- Services listed in the Add-On Services section are not included by default
- Hazardous material clean-up is at an additional cost and may require a licensed third party
- Structural work and major renovations are not included
If additional services are required, they are clearly scoped, priced separately, and approved before proceeding. Where specialized work is needed, we coordinate vetted, approved partners.
Why Many Clients Choose the Standard Package
The Standard Estate Preparation Package offers:
- A structured, professional approach to estate clear-out
- Predictable scope and pricing
- Respectful handling of personal belongings
- Market-aligned preparation without unnecessary upgrades
- Relief from managing multiple vendors or timelines
It is intentionally designed to do what matters most, without overcomplicating the process.
