Our Family
A Family-Run Estate Company in Salem
We kept meeting Salem families who'd been handed between four or five companies at the hardest time of their lives. So we built one team that covers every step.

EZ Estates grew out of EZ Junk & Hauling, the junk removal company Edward runs in Salem and Keizer. Week after week, his crew was called to homes at the very end of an estate: after the move, after the estate sale, after the family was already worn out. The families kept saying the same thing: they wished one company had handled it all.
So Edward teamed up with the two people in his own family who know the rest of the process. His brother-in-law, Brody Sherwood, is a real estate broker with HomeSmart and a licensed contractor. His father-in-law, Greg Sherwood, owns Barnabas Real Estate Group and has spent about 20 years buying and renovating homes in the Mid-Valley.
Together we cover every step, from the first box packed to the keys handed over. And because we're family, we answer to each other.
What we believe
- One plan, in writing. You know every step and every cost before we start.
- Family first. Keepsakes are set aside before anything is priced.
- Donate before dumping. Usable items go to local charities and reuse stores.
- No pressure. Using one service never obligates you to use another.
- Full disclosure. We always tell you when a family member is involved.
