Estate Clearing Prices Toronto: Partial, Standard, Large and Premium Estate Tiers

Estate clearing in Toronto costs $2,500 to $4,500 for a partial clear (a 1-bedroom condo or single-floor downsize), $4,500 to $9,000 for a standard 2-3 bedroom home, $9,000 to $18,000 for a large 4+ bedroom estate with multi-floor sorting and auction coordination, and $12,000 to $25,000 for a premium estate with valuable antiques, an extensive art inventory or hoarding overlap. Hourly senior sort and pack is $85 per sorter per hour with a 3-hour minimum visit, which suits smaller downsizing jobs. Auction coordination through MaxSold is 15% of hammer price with no upfront cost, and auction proceeds often offset a large share of the clearing fee. Donation documentation, tax receipt filing, unmarked vehicles, the executor documentation package and a written workmanship warranty are included on every job. Your exact figure comes in a written itemized quote within 48 hours of the free consultation, and no rush fees are added afterward.

A full estate clearing runs over multiple days at family pace, and your written quote within 48 hours sets the schedule. The length depends on the size of the home, how much the family wants to review in person, and whether valuables go through MaxSold auction waves. As reference points from our own projects: a 4-bedroom Forest Hill downsizing took 11 days with the father present for every sorting decision, a Beaches home where hoarding and the estate overlapped took 3 weeks, and a 5-bedroom Lawrence Park estate with 40 years of art and antiques ran through 3 MaxSold auction waves and was delivered broom-clean on day 42, 2 days ahead of the probate filing deadline. We never compress the schedule by discarding items that need review.

Yes. Hoarding and estate overlap usually falls in the $12,000 to $25,000 premium tier and is handled under a written Zero Judgment policy with unmarked vehicles. In the Beaches, 20 years of accumulated belongings were sorted over 3 weeks, with 8 truckloads donated to Habitat ReStore and Salvation Army and the house handed back broom-clean for listing.

Donation coordination is included on every job: sorting donatable items after family review, routing them to Habitat for Humanity ReStore, Salvation Army, Toronto Goodwill or local community furniture banks, and collecting and filing receipts in the estate's name for your records.

Senior sort and pack is billed at $85 per hour per sorter with a 3-hour minimum visit. Families use it for smaller downsizing jobs or to start sorting with a parent before choosing a full package.

Auction coordination is 15% of the hammer price with no upfront cost. Auction results go into your documentation package so the executor and beneficiaries can see what each lot returned.
