What We Do
Need more than a clean-out? We do it all.
From full estate sales to simple trash removal, we create a plan based on your situation—not a one-size-fits-all package. That includes:
-
In-home walkthroughs and valuation consultations
-
Estate sales and liquidation of belongings
-
Clean-outs, donations, and responsible disposal
-
Deep cleaning, light repairs, and yard prep to get homes market-ready
If it helps the home sell—and helps you move forward—we’re on it.
A Better Way to Let Go
We understand the emotional weight of letting go. That’s why we focus on:
-
Clarity over pressure – We don’t push sales. We give you honest guidance.
-
Value discovery – We know what sells and what doesn’t, from high-end antiques to unopened dish soap.
-
Keeping it out of landfills – Whenever possible, we sell, donate, or recycle.
Our founder, Tom Murphy, combines a law enforcement background with deep antique knowledge passed down through generations. His reputation for integrity and insight has made The Clean Estate the trusted name among Maine families and realtors alike.
We’ve helped clients who were:
-
Moving to Florida and needed everything gone—fast.
-
Overwhelmed by decades of accumulation and didn’t know where to start.
-
Navigating the loss of a loved one and wanted someone to handle it all.
Each time, we listened. We adapted. We delivered results that brought peace of mind—and often a profit.
Since The Begining
Tom grew up around antiques and law enforcement. His mother owned two antique shops. His father and grandfather were both police officers. That unique blend of trust, professionalism, and valuation expertise is the heart of The Clean Estate.
We’re commission-based, so we only succeed when you do. And we never forget that what we’re handling isn’t just stuff—it’s stories, memories, and meaningful transitions.
