Real photos from our compassionate deceased estate clearing services in Brisbane

Essential steps for families helping a loved one relocate to aged care or a smaller home
Before deciding what to keep, measure the new home or aged care room. Know exactly what will fit so you can plan the home downsizing ahead of time.
Go through each room and sort belongings into keep, sell, donate and dispose. Start with the rooms used least — spare bedrooms, garage and shed.
Scan or photograph important paperwork, family photos and sentimental items. This reduces what needs to physically move while preserving memories.
Book charity pickups for furniture, clothing and household items being donated or rehomed. Usable goods go to Salvos, Vinnies, Lifeline or local community groups.
Once the property is cleared, book a deep clean so it presents well for sale or lease. Steve handles both the clearing and the cleaning in one visit.
Redirect mail through Australia Post. Update banks, insurance, Medicare, Centrelink and subscriptions with the new address before the move.
