For many people, the dream of moving overseas - whether for a promotion in London, an adventurous retirement, or a digital nomad life in Chiang Mai - is exhilarating.
But then reality sets in: What do I do with all my stuff?
International move logistics are steep. You have a house full of furniture and a hard deadline to vacate. And moving across borders isn’t like moving across town. You face unique hurdles:
High Shipping Costs: Sending a container overseas can cost more than the items inside are worth.
Storage Trap: You pay for storage units for years, only to realize later that you didn’t need half of what you saved.
Real Estate Deadlines: You need your current home empty and "market-ready" yesterday so you can fund your new life abroad.
Estate Inventory Services vs. Doing It Yourself.
While some people might defer to a traditional estate sale or a DIY pack-up, savvy relocators hire Estate Inventory Services to handle the heavy lifting. Here’s why.
· Over 20-years’ experience. We’ve facilitated thousands of relocations. We know what to do. Putting your overseas move in the hands of newbies is risky for many reasons.
· One-stop shop. Our comprehensive, tech-forward process matches your on-the-go lifestyle. One phone call to us and consider it done.
· Digital & Transparent. You know what is happening every step of the way. Beyond “selling stuff” we provide a level of digital organization that traditional "tag sale" companies can’t match.
People choose us because we treat their relocation like a project to be managed, not just a pile of goods to be hauled away and cleared.
The Power of the Inventory
Our process starts with a meticulous, digital professional inventory.
Peace of Mind: Having a detailed digital record (including photos and descriptions) is vital for insurance claims if anything happens during international transit.
Decisive Sorting: Our expert consulting coupled with our digital inventory system allows you to see exactly what you own, making it easier to decide what stays, what might be stored, what gets sold via our online auction, and what gets sold to fund your move overseas.
Smart Storage vs. Fast Liquidations
Not everything can go on the plane. For those heirloom pieces or essential items you aren’t ready to part with, we coordinate the transition into secure storage. However, for the rest, our goal is high-speed liquidation.
Get Your House "Market-Ready" in Record Time
The biggest stressor for an overseas move is the house itself. We are experts at Real Estate Owned (REO) solutions, clean-outs, donations, and trash-hauling.
Speed: We work on an accelerated timeline. While a DIY move can take months of weekends, our team can often clear a property and have it "broom-clean" in a fraction of the time.
Real-Estate Broker Partnership: By handling the clean-out and organizing the remaining items, we help your real estate agent get your home on the market immediately. A clean, empty home sells faster and for a better price.
Your Journey Starts Here
If you’re currently looking at a map and wondering how to get from point A to point B without the weight of your possessions holding you back, we are here to help.
At Estate Inventory Services, we don't just move things; we move lives forward.
