How Dean and Christian Junk Removal Work Together
A lot of the homes Dean sells still have a household inside: an inherited estate, a foreclosure with belongings left behind, a divorce sale, or a seller who is downsizing and can't take everything. Before listing photos, showings or closing, the house has to be empty. When Dean's clients need that done, he sends them to us.
- Dean handles the sale: pricing, listing, negotiating and closing.
- We clear the house: furniture, appliances, boxes and garage contents, carried out and hauled away.
- The home is ready to list: clean, empty rooms for photos, showings and the final walkthrough.
