Family Distribution FAQ
What does “home emptying” mean?
At Silver Solutions, “home emptying” is a comprehensive process that involves discovering, sorting, removing, and distributing everything in a home—often following a major life transition such as downsizing, relocation, or the passing of a loved one.
Unlike junk removal, our approach is thoughtful and compassionate. We:
- Identify valuables, heirlooms, and important documents
- Sort items into keep, donate, sell, or discard categories
- Coordinate donations or sales of usable items
- Responsibly dispose of what cannot be reused
The goal is to respectfully prepare the home for its next chapter—whether that means listing it for sale, renting it, or returning it to family use.
Do you handle homes after a loved one passes away?
Yes. Silver Solutions frequently supports families following the loss of a loved one. We manage the entire estate cleanout process with care and respect, including:
- Sorting belongings into keep, donate, sell, or discard categories.
- Identifying and preserving family heirlooms, photos, and important documents.
- Coordinating estate sales, auctions, or donation drop-offs.
- Preparing the home for its next stage—whether that’s listing it for sale, renting it, or returning it to family use.
We understand how emotional this process can be, and we approach every estate with compassion, professionalism, and dignity.
Can you help find important documents while cleaning out a home?
Absolutely. Silver Solutions specialists are trained to carefully identify and set aside important and irreplaceable items during the cleanout process. This includes:
- Wills and legal documents
- Financial records and insurance papers
- Medical records and prescriptions
- Passports, IDs, and personal documents
- Family photos, letters, and memorabilia
Families are often surprised by how many meaningful items are buried within clutter. Our process ensures these treasures are found, protected, and returned to the family—not accidentally discarded.
Do you donate, recycle, or dispose of items responsibly?
Yes. Silver Solutions is committed to handling belongings responsibly and respectfully. Our process includes:
- Donating usable items to local charities, non-profits, or community organizations.
- Recycling materials such as paper, metal, electronics, and textiles whenever possible.
- Properly disposing of only items that are unusable, unsafe, or beyond repair.
This approach reduces landfill waste, supports local communities, and ensures each item is treated with dignity—not simply thrown away.
Can you ship keepsakes and heirlooms to family members in different states?
Yes. If family members live out of the area, Silver Solutions can safely pack and ship keepsakes, heirlooms, and important personal items so they reach loved ones wherever they are. This service provides peace of mind by ensuring:
- Items are carefully wrapped, padded, and protected for transport.
- Fragile or sentimental belongings are handled with special care.
- Packages are shipped securely and tracked when needed.
Families can feel confident that meaningful possessions are preserved and delivered safely.
How do you price home emptying services?
Home emptying costs can vary based on the home and the amount of work involved. Key factors that affect pricing include:
- Size of the home
- Volume of belongings and furniture
- Amount of sorting, organizing, or document recovery required
- Additional services needed, such as donations, shipping, appraisals, or cleaning
Silver Solutions provides free, no-obligation estimates so families know the expected costs upfront—before any work begins.
Do you clean the home after it’s been emptied?
Yes. Once belongings are removed, Silver Solutions can provide deep cleaning services to leave the home safe, sanitary, and ready for sale, rental, or move-in.
How quickly can you clear out a home for sale?
The timeline depends on the size of the home and the amount of belongings, but Silver Solutions can often complete home emptying projects within days to a few weeks. If a real estate sale or closing date is approaching, we can prioritize the project to meet your deadlines.
Can you work with estate attorneys or realtors during the process?
Yes. We regularly coordinate with estate attorneys, executors, and realtors to streamline the process. This ensures the home is cleared in accordance with legal requirements and prepared for market without unnecessary delays.
Do you help with online estate sales or auctions?
Silver Solutions does not run traditional estate sales or online auctions. In most cases, the time, stress, and privacy concerns—combined with low resale value—make them less beneficial for families.
However, we do help in the following ways:
- Identifying items of high value or collectible interest
- Coordinating professional appraisals and dealer visits for rare or valuable items
- Advising when donation may provide a better benefit, including potential tax advantages and reduced effort
- Handling donation logistics for items that are not worth selling
Our goal is to help families make smart, low-stress decisions—preserving value where it exists and avoiding unnecessary hassle.
