Prepare the property

Secure records, valuables, keys, medications, and personal devices before the crew arrives. Mark any room, closet, cabinet, or item that is outside the approved scope. Make sure the authorized decision-maker can be reached if something uncertain appears.

Clear the walking route where practical. Share gate codes, elevator rules, parking limits, floor concerns, and the intended truck position in advance.

Questions to settle early

What should be removed before the walkthrough?

Secure documents, cash, jewelry, medications, firearms, keys, personal devices, and anything the estate has not released.

Can work begin before every decision is final?

It can be phased only when the authorized person defines clear work and no-work areas. Uncertain items stay in place.

What photos are useful?

Photograph each room from the doorway, large pieces, stairs, narrow turns, gates, elevators, and the expected loading position.

Define the rooms and the decision boundaries first.

Then plan access, handling, and the loading sequence.
