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 would highly recommend A+ Enterprises. Very professional staff. Fast response to my request for information. Sal is very friendly, answered all my questions and set a date for pick up, much faster than I had expected. Day of pick up was better than prompt. Joe called en-route to say he was a little ahead of schedule and could actually be at my house sooner. Great Job at a reasonable price. Would definitely refer family and friends. Thank your for A+ service!

I 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!

October 25, 2019I 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!

September 26, 2018Kyle 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.

Awesome company! My uncle passed away, and we were cleaning out his house. We had a lot of items to donate to the Salvation Army. I called the Salvation Army but they couldn’t pick up for a month. I called A Plus & they came two days later. The Two young men who came to pick up were polite, respectful & very efficient. The price was reasonable too. I will definitely use A Plus in the future.

May 6, 2021Contacted Sal to have some old boxes removed, called me the next day to set up a time to estimate the work. Came first thing the next morning and gave me a great quote. We agreed on a wonderful price and literally 15 minutes later he was here with his truck cleaning out our boxes. He was done quickly and efficiently! Very nice man, We will be contacting him again in the near future! My family and I highly recommend!

October 17, 2020Fantastic customer service. Sal was on time, very responsive to messages and professional. The price for the dumpster was very reasonable also. I have had issues with other junk removal companies in the past and wish I had found them sooner. I will definitely use them again in the future.
