Transform the Overwhelming into the Beautiful
Estate clearing isn't just about stuff
It's about memories, responsibility, and finding the right way forward. We understand the weight of this task.
Transform burden into celebration
That's why we created Caboodle: a platform that transforms an overwhelming burden into a community celebration. One day where items find new homes, stories continue, and you find peace of mind.
100% Satisfaction Guaranteed
If you're not completely satisfied with your Caboodle experience, we'll refund your fee. No questions asked. That's how confident we are in our process.
Process FAQs
What if items remain?
Most homes clear completely. What remains is usually minimal - manageable with regular garbage service rather than expensive junk removal.
What about items I want to keep?
Remove anything to keep before the event. Everything left should be items you're comfortable giving away.
How many people typically come?
We manage attendance through time slots, usually 3 to 10 people per hour, spread throughout the day. Our system optimizes attendance for you estate size.
Real Stories, Real Results
From Overwhelm to Accomplished
Sarah's Sunday Success
"I want to share this because I know others are facing what I faced. Standing in Mom's kitchen last month, surrounded by 40 years of memories, I felt completely lost. Caboodle turned what seemed impossible into one meaningful day. A young couple starting out got her china, a teacher found her books, and a neighbor who reminded me of Mom took her garden tools. By sunset, we were done - not just with clearing, but with sharing her legacy."
John's Remote Victory
"Living in Chicago while dealing with Dad's house in Arizona seemed impossible. Instead of weeks of travel and sorting, Caboodle helped us finish in one Saturday. The best part? Dad's workshop tools went to young DIY enthusiasts who truly appreciated them. He would have loved that."
Maria's Relief
"The idea of strangers going through Mom's things made me nervous. Instead, I witnessed something beautiful. Every item found someone who truly wanted it. A young family got their first dining set. A student found perfect apartment furnishings. Even Mom's craft supplies went to an art teacher. No regrets, just gratitude."

"I thought I could handle it myself..."
The Estate Sale Nightmare
"Three weekends wasted. Hundreds of price tags. Endless haggling over dollars. And the worst part? Most valuable items didn't sell, and I still had to pay for junk removal. Never again."
The Donation Disaster
"'Sorry, we don't take furniture without original tags.' 'We're not accepting housewares this month.' After my eighth trip, watching them reject most items, I broke down in my car. All that effort for nothing."
The Online Selling Saga
"Is this available?" *silence* "Can you hold it?" *ghosted* "I'll come tomorrow!" *never shows* "The messages still haunt me. Most items ended up in a dumpster anyway, after weeks of frustration."
The Junk Removal Shock
"$2,400 later, watching perfectly good items get crushed... I wish I'd known there was a better way. That antique cabinet? Probably worth something to someone."
