Why Families Trust Downsize & Move

Respectful Support During a Difficult Time

Everything Needed to Clear and Prepare the Property

Homes often contain years of possessions, sentimental items and belongings kept “just in case.” Over time, these items can occupy not only physical space but emotional and mental space as well.

Our deceased estate clearance service is tailored to the property and the family’s instructions. We can manage a complete house clear out or assist only with selected stages.

  • Sort and organise household belongings
  • Pack and deliver keepsakes to family members
  • Move furniture locally, interstate or into storage
  • Identify and coordinate suitable auction items
  • Donate acceptable furniture and household goods
  • Remove and responsibly dispose of rubbish
  • Arrange short-term or long-term storage
  • Supply boxes and packing materials
  • Prepare the home for sale, rental or settlement
  • Coordinate cleaning, garden work or minor preparation when required

How the Process Works

A Clear Plan From the First Walkthrough to Final Handover

Initial Property Assessment

We walk through the property, discuss family instructions and identify what should be kept, delivered, stored, sold, donated or removed.

Sorting and Packing

Belongings are grouped carefully, with family items and important possessions protected before the wider clear out begins.

Auction, Charity and Deliveries

Suitable items are coordinated for auction or charity, while selected belongings are delivered to family or storage.

Clearance and Property Preparation

Remaining contents are cleared and the property can then be prepared for its next stage, including cleaning or sale preparation if required.

Real Client Story

Helping Alex Clear His Mother’s Home After Five Years

Alex had avoided entering his late mother’s home for almost five years. Every room carried memories, and the scale of the task made it difficult to know where to begin.

We worked through the property carefully, room by room. Family keepsakes were identified, suitable items were coordinated for auction, usable furniture was delivered to charity and the remaining contents were removed responsibly.

Once the home was cleared, it was ready for painters and the next stage of preparation before sale. The project gave Alex a practical way forward while ensuring his mother’s belongings were treated respectfully.

Experience Beyond Removal Services

Downsizing Into Happiness

After nearly 20 years helping older Australians and their families manage downsizing, relocation and major life transitions, founder Dan Salamati wrote Downsizing Into Happiness.

The book reflects the same approach we bring to deceased estate work: practical planning, respectful decision-making and support through emotionally difficult changes.

Preparing Before a Property Sale

A careful clear out can make the next steps much easier. Once personal belongings, furniture and waste are resolved, agents, cleaners, painters and tradespeople can access the property more efficiently.
