Guide for Inheriting & Selling a Hoarded Home
Whether a loved on passed away, or you have taken ownership of a home that has been hoarded in, it is a challenge to move forward. The amount of clutter & trash that has been accumulated can often-times be overwhelming.
The obvious goal when inheriting a hoarder’s home is to clean up the clutter & make it livable once again. After that has been done, you can decide what to do with the property whether to keep it or sell it.
Selling a Hoarder’s Home As-Is
While you can sell a hoarder’s property in as-is condition, you will be receiving pennies on the dollar versus the true value of the home. For example, if a home is worth $225,000 in normal condition, it may sell for $50,000 if it has been affected by hoarding. Therefore, there is a $175,000 loss in value if the home is sold as-is to a cash buyer.
A better solution would be to invest a nominal amount of money into having the hoarded items cleaned up. Compare this to losing tens of thousands of dollars in potential sales price and it is a no brainer!
Hoarded Clutter Cleanup
While some hoarder cleanup projects can be accomplished yourself, it is often best left to an extreme hoarding cleaning company. These companies specialize in the work of cleaning up after hoarding. They can leave the home looking like the hoarding never even happened.
Many of these hoarding clutter cleanup services offer a full-service cleaning service. From organizing belongings, to junk removal, to extreme cleaning & sanitizing, they can do it all. After the hoarder house cleaning has been completed, the house can be listed for sale. It is like there was never even a hoarding problem!
Hoarding Cleaning Services
If you are looking around, there are many hoarder cleanup companies that advertise on the internet for this exact service. Many of these companies use subcontractors, which often-times results in higher prices & lower quality of work.
If you are looking for a hoarding cleanup company, look for a locally owned junk removal service. Any sizable junk removal service has the capability to handle a hoarding clutter cleanup project. In addition, the best part is they can do it at a fraction of the cost.

I got a 100% accurate estimate from the owner and he dispatched a crew to clean out my house the next day (!). The guys were professional and very nice and personable, making a tough situation much easier to handle. Moreover, they worked until the job was done way over my expectations. This company has the best prices in our area and they are complete pros. I would recommend them to anyone...don't hesitate and call A+ first! They will be my first call in the future! Added 3/1/2020: So 18 months later I had to clean out a 2nd floor apartment and 3rd floor attic. This attic was stuffed floor to ceiling with junk and the apartment full of furniture. Sal had a crew there within 24 hrs of my call and cleaned it out in ONE DAY! They even swept up and went through with garbage cans to completely clean the house. I value good service and A+ always delivers...I recommend them to my friends and family and have now used them 3 times. Each time the price is far less than I expected and the work is way better than I'd expect. If you have a job that you're afraid to deal with...call them!!!!! It is the best call you'll ever make! They have always come through for me. Thank you!!!!

March 2, 2020I can't say enough about Sal. He was very patient, knowledgeable, and went out of his way to ensure my company was taken care of. I absolutely recommend anyone to use this company. They get in and out very quickly and offer a great price. They also stick to their word which is very rare now-a-days!

EXTREMELY PLEASANT AND PROFESSIONAL! Gave them a call to remove some old furniture and assorted boxes of junk. They said the had a crew in my area the next morning and could be here at 9am. Arrived right at 9 on the dot and got straight to work. They battled through all my cobwebs and work quick and efficiently. No trouble or damage from moving some big items in narrow areas. The price they quoted was great value for all the work they did. I have already and will continue to HIGHLY recommend them.

February 23, 2019Kyle and Joe were wonderful! Very efficient process. I called and gave brief information to a very professional person. They came out the next day. Wiped their feet, quoted me a very fair price, and removed my furniture. I’m very pleased with their service and friendliness. I will definitely recommend them to my family and friends! Meredith R. They did such a good job yesterday that I called them back again today for more revival. They’re very fast, efficient, easy to work with and professional. Joe and Kyle came both days and we’re incredibly polite and thoughtful in what was a hard situation for me. Bravo A+ Enterprises! Repeat business speaks for itself. Meredith R.

I was looking for someone to haul away some things from a home remodeling project. I called A Plus and within 10 minutes I received an email and was able to call the owner right away. He sent his crew out the next day and took care of my hauling needs with a great price. I cannot tell you how pleased I am at the prompt, courteous service I received from both the owner and the crew. I highly recommend them. Mary Gadomski

March 13, 2021Absolutely amazing! Highly recommended! I recently moved to Pennsylvania and purchased a fixer upper in Luzern County. I had a large pile of debris from the house that I needed to get rid of. I called A+ Junk Removal and spoke with Sal. He was extremely professional and very personable. He was able to work with my schedule which was greatly appreciated. Sal also contacted me through text to remind me of my scheduled appointment. Joe and Andrew showed up on time to give me an estimate for my junk pile. They gave me a great price and got right to work. Both Joe and Andrew were very polite and extremely professional. Very friendly as well. They did an amazing job! I couldn’t have asked for a better crew to come and do this job for me. I am extremely appreciative for Sal, Joe and Andrew. I highly recommend this company and will definitely use them again on the future. Thank you so much A+ Enterprises!
