Richard Old is a lifesaver. I faced a horrendous job of months of work cleaning out my parent’s house that had been accumulating stuff for 42 years. All the rooms were literally thigh deep (and stacked shoulder high in some places) with papers, magazines, treasures, and otherwise just plain junk, all coated with at least a half inch of dust. I live over 300 miles away and work full time, so my situation was impossible until Richard Old was recommended by a family friend. Richard and his crew sorted, sold or donated what they could, recycled everything possible, and disposed of the rest. In the interim there were problems with broken water pipes, issues with electrical wiring, and various other problems on which Richard consulted with me and ultimately took care of for me. It was an incredibly difficult job, but Richard executed it with aplomb and good humor. To top it off, Richard is just one of the nicest people I have worked with in a long time. I cannot say enough to applaud and recommend Richard Old and the services he performs. Dennis L. Dossett, Seattle, WA
This past year, we were needing to prepare my mother’s house in Pullman, Washington for the Real Estate market. Before we could market the house, we needed to deal with the rather large, 30+ years accumulation of personal and household items.
After a couple of sorting trips with my brother and sister to remove the items we wanted to keep, we met with Richard Old to discuss just how to deal wit the rest of the “stuff”. Richard made us an offer for the remaining “contents” and gave us a time frame for holding an in house Estate Sale and leaving the house empty and clean after the sale. We also asked Richard to keep his eyes open for a few items we had not found in the house, which he readily agreed to do.
The sale was completed within the time Richard indicated and the house was left even cleaner than expected. Richard found a few missing items we wanted to keep and gave them to us while also providing some temporary storage for items we wanted to keep but could not readily move before the sale.
All in all, it was a high quality job done in a timely manner. I strongly recommend Richard Old’s Estate Services to any all who need such assistance.
