A recent estate clearanceāand a significant transformation.
Many of you originally followed The Collective because you loved secondhand furniture, homewares and finding something special. That part of what we do is still very much alive.
Our years in the secondhand industry now play an important role in our estate and house-clearance work. We carefully assess the contents to identify furniture, homewares and collectables with resale potential, rather than treating everything as waste.
This clearance had a really short turnaround, so a full truckload of saleable furniture and homewares went straight to auction.
We also managed the wider process from beginning to end, liaising with the executors, the estateās lawyer, the retirement village and the auction house. We coordinated donation and disposal, provided a complimentary light clean, and supplied a final clearance report and auction inventory.
Our aim is to make an overwhelming process feel manageable, taking away the stress and giving families and executors confidence that everything is in very capable hands.
When time allows, weād love to share selected pieces with our followers first.
The Collective provides estate, house and storage-unit clearances, downsizing support and senior relocations throughout Auckland.
