How do I clear out a house before selling it?

Spartan Junk Removal clears homes before listing photos, staging or possession across Metro Vancouver. Book a free walk-through with the seller or realtor and agree what stays for staging. The crew then clears leftover furniture, garage clutter, basement storage and yard debris on a date planned back from your listing, with before-and-after photos.

The listing date doesn’t wait for the garage.

Photos and staging are booked, and the seller still has a full garage and a yard of leftovers. We plan backwards from your listing date, clear it and send photo proof.

Good to know

A surcharge may apply for some items on this kind of job, such as mattresses and box springs, fridges and freezers.

In-unit labour may apply when items are upstairs, in elevators or in backyards, based on access and distance.

Either way, it’s part of your estimate before anything moves.

About surcharges

What affects the cost of a pre-listing cleanout

Every job is quoted free at your door. These are the things that move your estimate, and how to keep it down.

How much is going

Clearing a single garage is a different job from emptying a whole house before possession.

To lower it: Ask the seller to move what they’re keeping to the new home first.
Access

Basements, upstairs rooms and long driveways add carrying time, so in-unit labour may apply.

To lower it: Stage items on the driveway or in an open carport: curbside pickups get 15% off.
Mattresses and appliances

Mattresses, fridges and freezers go to their own recyclers and can carry a surcharge.

To lower it: Leave appliances that are part of the sale in place, and point out only the extras.

How to get ready before listing

Agree with the seller and stager which furniture stays for photos.
Share the photo, listing and possession dates.
Arrange access: a lockbox, a key or the seller on site.
Pull out paint and fuel; we can’t take them. Mention any chemicals when you book.
Decide who gets the invoice: the seller or the brokerage.

Where your items go

We donate usable furniture and decor, recycle metals and e-waste, and dispose of the rest responsibly.

I had a tough time, especially moving away and moving out is not fun or easy, and with my full-time job, I can never get things done. Then I was recommended to Spartan junk ,Aydean What’s top notch and got there real quick. Him and his colleagues finished up my whole two bedroom apartment in like an hour after arriving. So now I’m all good, stress-free, and I can get back to just focussing on the new place. Definitely gonna be a happy camper after this, and his wife is a total sweetheart.
