  • For antiques, art, jewelry, or other valuables, we arrange appraisals so your family understands what you have before making any decisions

  • We arrange secure shredding of sensitive documents so nothing confidential ends up in the wrong hands

  • The small tasks add up, and we take care of the details so you don't have to

  • For belongings that need to be moved rather than donated or discarded, we handle all the logistics

  • Once the home is cleared, we can connect you with trusted professionals to get it ready for sale or transition

WORK WITH US

  • "Sammi was a TOTAL LIFESAVER. I could not have gone through my mom’s apartment after she passed if I had to do it myself. Even with my family’s help, I needed someone to keep me on track and go through all the closets and papers and keep me from going down the black hole! Sammi also helped find places to donate and was there for the movers. She is a GEM!!"

  • "Sort & Settle saved my life. I went into an overwhelming move which involved clearing out 56 years of stuff from my parents’ house, including tons of 1970s furniture, and then making room for my stuff and making it look good in a completely different setting. On the days of the junk removal and the move, Sammi was amazing. She orchestrated the vendors (and me!) like a maestro–making sure all boxes went to the right places. After the big move day, Sammi and team spent a full day with me unboxing and organizing my new home. I fully recommend Sort & Settle if you're planning a move or a re-organization.”
