Can the team work for an executor, landlord or real estate agent?
Yes. Cleanouts are often arranged by executors, landlords, property managers and agents. The team follows their access instructions and can note the condition of the property for their records.
Is hoarding a mental health condition?
Hoarding disorder is a recognized mental health condition. A cleanout team does not diagnose anyone and treats every home and every person with respect.

A small area may take a day, while a full house with heavy buildup often takes several days or longer. Access, volume, hazards and the level of cleaning all change the timeline. The team can estimate after a walk-through.
