FAQ
utterDECLUTTER’s mission is to get your property ready to sell without spending a fortune.
We recommend you follow our “traffic light” sticker system. Buy large stickers in a box from Officeworks or similar. A red sticker = STAY and Green sticker = GO. We will advise if the green stickered items can be sold, donated, recycled or taken to the tip.
An orange sticker = item to be stored, a pink sticker = an adult daughter is taking that item, a blue sticker = an adult son is taking that item. We will place yellow stickers on items that we believe can be sold at one of the auction houses we work with.
Preparing your house for sale, decluttering your house if you are staying, decluttering your house if you have sold, downsizing, clearing out a deceased estate, office declutter, home declutter, packing & unpacking and professional organising.
Daniel Shanahan (utterDECLUTTER Founder and Director) is a licensed real estate agent. He acts as an independent third party and coaches you/your family throughout the selling process. Eliminate the stress and feel totally comfortable in asking as many questions as you like to get the sale price you deserve. The agent pays Daniel a referral fee, meaning the service is free for you, the vendor. The real estate agent and Daniel are only paid if your property is sold for the price you want.

We have a minimum charge of $300 plus gst per person for 4 hours. This is a per person charge. We charge $37.50 plus gst per person for every ½ hour after the first 4 hours.
The amount of time it takes varies and it is determined by some of the following factors.
- The willingness of the client to let go of items they no longer need or want.
- The size of the house. How many rooms need to be decluttered or is it just a garage or storage unit where everything is rubbish.
- The access – If the clutter is in attic or the basement with difficult access it will take time. Maybe your house is on Scotland Island, or your house is on a busy road with Clearway restrictions. No job is too big or too small, we have seen it all.

No. We have found the most efficient & cost-effective way is to have the client organise their own boxes. Most storage companies like Kennards and Storage King will allow you to return the boxes which you haven’t used for a full refund. They may also be able to deliver to your home. Its always best to overorder on boxes as they can be returned.
