Respectful & Efficient
Every cleanout is approached with sensitivity to the circumstances.
Start-to-Finish Coordination
As a CPPA-certified appraiser, Brian can identify and document items of value during the cleanout process.
When someone passes away, the home they leave behind doesn’t settle itself. Someone has to go through every room, make decisions about every item, coordinate removal, arrange disposal, and make sure nothing of value — financial or sentimental — gets overlooked. For most families, that responsibility falls at one of the most difficult times imaginable. Brian Price and his team exist to take that weight off your shoulders.
As a certified Canadian Personal Property Appraiser (CPPA), Brian brings a level of expertise to estate cleanouts that goes well beyond sorting and hauling. He knows what items have value, what documentation lawyers and executors need, and how to move through a property efficiently while treating everything — and everyone involved — with the respect the situation demands.

An estate clean out is the process of systematically sorting, appraising, removing, and redistributing the entire contents of a property — typically following a death, divorce, or major life transition. Done properly, it’s a methodical, respectful, and documented process that protects.
During a cleanout, contents are divided into clear categories: items of financial value (flagged for appraisal or auction), items with sentimental value (set aside for family), items suitable for donation, and items that require responsible disposal. Nothing simply disappears — every item is accounted for.
Estate cleanout clients include adult children managing a parent’s estate, executors under time and legal pressure, lawyers who need a credentialed professional on-site fast, and property managers responsible for clearing a unit after a tenant’s passing. Brian works efficiently and professionally with all of them.
Estate laws are constantly evolving. Lawyers and executors can be held liable for losses if items of value are removed or discarded without proper documentation. A certified appraiser — like Brian Price — protects everyone involved by establishing value before anything leaves the property.
Timeline depends on the size of the property and the volume of contents — a condo cleanout may take a day or two, while a large family home or rural property can take a week or more. Brian provides a realistic timeline during the initial assessment so that executors and families can plan accordingly.

Estate cleanouts are most commonly needed when a loved one passes away and a home full of belongings needs to be cleared, sorted, and settled — often within a tight timeframe set by lawyers, real estate closings, or property rental agreements. But cleanouts aren’t limited to situations involving death. Divorce, major health events, a move into care, or simply a property that has been neglected for years can all create the same need: a professional, efficient, and thorough clearing of an entire home.
If you’re an executor, a family member, a lawyer, or a property manager facing any of these situations in Windsor-Essex — you don’t have to figure it out alone. Brian Price has handled estates of every size and complexity across the region. He knows what needs to happen, in what order, and how to make the process as smooth as possible for everyone involved. The first step is a free assessment. Call today to arrange one.
Brian visits the property, assesses the full scope of the cleanout, and provides a clear plan — including timeline, process, and any appraisal considerations — before any work begins.
Every item in the property is sorted into clear categories: keep, auction, donate, or dispose. Items of potential value are flagged for appraisal. Family wishes are documented and respected throughout.
