About Property Clearance
Founded to assist families through some of life’s most challenging transitions, such as the passing of a loved one, a family member’s move into residential aged care, or your own downsizing in retirement, Property Clearance is your professional solution for a comprehensive property clearance service. We help identify items of sentimental value for your family to retain and arrange the sale of valuable items for your financial benefit.
With your authorisation, we also donate items through our broad network of charitable organisations, leveraged through our unique Pass-it-Forward program. Once the home is cleared, we provide a complete package of services to prepare the home for sale, from cleaning and gardening to minor repairs and referrals to local real estate agents.
Our Story
Initially founded by Jude and Bob Morton in 2012 as Property Concierge Queensland, our company rebranded in 2015 to better reflect our expanded national reach across Australia, serving both metro and regional locations.
We were inspired to start the company after navigating our own family bereavement and recognising the immense emotional and logistical challenges the clearance of a home presents, so we understand what you are going through and the emotional challenges you may face.
What We Do Best
One of our core strengths is our years of experience in organising and selling household items to maximise your financial return. To date, we’ve sold over $2M worth of items on behalf of our clients. Items that aren’t cost-effective to sell are received gratefully by charitable organisations through our unique Pass-it-Forward program. This feature consistently earns us high praise in many client reviews. Each client engagement is conducted with the utmost compassion, respect, and discretion from start to finish.
We offer a personalised and professional service at reasonable prices. All our proposals are free of charge, come with no obligation, and feature a detailed services plan and a fixed-price quote. This transparent approach ensures we respect our clients’ time and specific circumstances. Our dedicated local teams provide end-to-end deceased estate clearance across Brisbane, Sydney, the Central Coast, Newcastle, Melbourne and Perth. Each job is carried out by the team based in that region, with support and guidance from Bob or Tanya throughout the process. This combines local knowledge and practical, on-the-ground support with the experience of our wider Property Clearance team.

What Do We Do?
We specialise in clearing residential properties, commercial spaces, garages, and sheds, tailored to your specific needs. Initially, we conduct a comprehensive assessment of the property and all its contents, ensuring you have an opportunity to recover any cherished items you wish to retain.
We maximise your financial return by leveraging multiple sales channels for items removed from a home — from on-site and online auctions to retail outlets and private sales through our extensive network of past buyers. For any items that are not viable for sale but are in usable condition, we find new homes for them through our broad charitable network as part of our Pass-it-Forward program. We are committed environmental stewards, fervently advocating for recycling and re-using items in all local communities.
If you require the property to be prepared for sale, we also offer a full management service to handle the process. Our suite of services extends from cleaning and gardening to minor repairs. And should you need it, we can connect you with reliable local real estate agents. Essentially, we’re here to help — every step of the way.
