What to prepare for an estimate.

Property checklist

• Address and property type
• Rooms, attic, garage, basement, sheds, and storage areas included
• Furniture and unusually heavy pieces
• Stairs, elevators, gates, parking, and carry distance
• Items still awaiting a family or estate decision
• Target date and any sale, transfer, or building deadline

Photos that help

Prepare a wide photo from each doorway, plus the largest pieces and every narrow point on the route. A photo does not always replace a walkthrough, but it can prevent avoidable surprises.
