One call. The whole house, handled.
EZ Estates is a one-stop estate company in Salem, Oregon. We move your loved one, run the estate sale, clear out what's left, clean the house, and help you sell it. One family-run team, from the first box to the final key.
Our goal
No family should have to hire five different companies to close out one home.
Why one-stop matters
Most families juggle five companies. You call one.
Closing out a parent's home in Salem usually means a mover, an estate sale company, a junk hauler, a cleaner, and a realtor, each with their own schedule and their own bill. Every handoff is another phone call and another chance for something to slip. We do all of it, in the right order, under one plan.
- Moving company Call #1
- Estate sale company Call #2
- Junk hauler Call #3
- Cleaning service Call #4
- Real estate agent Call #5

How it works
Six steps, one team, in the right order.
Each step hands off to the next without you making another phone call. Use the whole path or only the parts you need.
Step 2Move & downsize
Keepsakes go to family. What your loved one needs moves to their new home and gets set up.
Moving help →Step 3Estate sale
We sort, price, stage, advertise, and run the sale, then send you an itemized statement.

What families tell us they need
Built around the hardest parts of closing out a home.
Family lives out of town
Many Salem estates are handled by children in Portland, Seattle, or farther away. We walk the home with you on video, send photos at each stage, and handle the work on the ground.
A parent is moving, not passing
Downsizing to assisted living or a smaller home means working at their pace. Nothing leaves the house until the family says so.
The house needs to sell
An empty, clean house photographs better and lists sooner. Because we do the cleanout and cleaning, the handoff to the listing is quick.
There's a lot of "stuff"
Garages, sheds, shops, and barns full of decades of tools and supplies are exactly what our junk removal crew and trailers are built for.
Nobody wants to deal with it
Some homes have been sitting for months. We start with one walkthrough and one plan, so the first step is easy.
Probate or a trust is involved
We work alongside the personal representative, trustee, or estate attorney and provide itemized records of what was sold.
A family business
Three family members. Every step covered.
We started EZ Estates after meeting too many families who had been passed between companies at the hardest time of their lives.

List with Brody Sherwood, HomeSmart
The house is already empty and clean, so it's ready for photos sooner. As a licensed contractor, Brody can tell you which fixes pay off before listing.
Compare your options →Option B · Sell as-is
Cash offer from Barnabas Real Estate
For homes that fit, Greg Sherwood may make a cash offer. No repairs, no showings, and in some cases the contents can stay.

Questions
Common questions about EZ Estates
What does a one-stop estate company do?
We handle every step of closing out a home: helping your loved one move, sorting keepsakes, running the estate sale, clearing out what's left, cleaning the house, and helping you sell it. You work with one family-run team and one written plan instead of hiring five separate companies.
Do I have to use every service?
No. Pick only what you need. Some families want just an estate sale and cleanout. Others want help with everything from the move to the closing.
How much does it cost?
Estate sales are paid as a percentage of what sells, taken from the proceeds. Moving, cleanouts, and cleaning are quoted up front after a free walkthrough. You get every number in writing before any work starts.
Which areas do you serve?
Salem, Keizer, West Salem, South Salem, Silverton, Stayton, Woodburn, Dallas, Monmouth, Independence, Albany, and nearby Mid-Willamette Valley towns.
Do I have to sell the house with your family?
No. Brody Sherwood (HomeSmart) and Greg Sherwood (Barnabas Real Estate) are options, never requirements. You're free to use any agent or buyer you like.
