Choosing who to trust with your parents’ belongings is a big decision. During one of the most emotional times in your life, you want a service that handles the job with care, professionalism, and transparency.
Here are the key questions every family in Boulder County, Broomfield, Adams County, Weld County, and North Denver Metro should ask before hiring.
1. Do You Provide a Full Digital Inventory and Photos?
- Why it matters: You (and all heirs) should be able to see exactly what was in the house.
- Red flag: Companies that just haul everything away with no records.
2. What Happens to Items We’re Not Ready to Decide On?
- Best answer: “We offer secure storage with a digital portal so you can decide later.”
- Red flag: Pressure to decide everything immediately or donate/sell everything fast.
3. How Do You Handle Sentimental and Valuable Items?
- Look for: Special flagging process, secure handling, and flexibility.
4. Can All Family Members Access Information Remotely?
- Important for out-of-state siblings and reducing arguments.
5. What Is Your Process for Clearing the House?
- You want to understand the timeline and how quickly the realtor can stage the home.
6. Do You Partner with Senior Move Managers or Probate Attorneys?
- Good sign of professionalism and a network of trust.
7. What Happens If We Find Something Valuable Later?
- You want flexibility, not a “once it’s gone, it’s gone” policy.
