How we help realtors:

Realtors face situations where their clients need junk removal at different stages of the moving process. 1-800-GOT-JUNK? can help during:

Preparation for sale: We can assist the sellers with making their property more inviting to potential buyers. If we can clean up the basement, attic, backyard and garage to make the home seem larger and cleaner, there will be more interest in the property.

Days leading up to the move: Moving is a stressful time and we can help by taking care of items like old sheds, hot tubs, etc when time is running out and options for removing items becomes limited. We can be on site in less than one hour helping your client with any of these issues.

Settlement table: There are always arguments about the old refrigerator in the basement or pile of wood left on the far corner of the property. Well 1-800-GOT-JUNK? can take care of these situations without breaking a sweat. All you do is pick up the phone and call.

After settlement: Junk still all over the house after settlement? We have seen this and have helped many realtors out of this situation. Or, your client moves into a home that the previous client decided to leave some items behind. We often come in to remove old hot tubs and other items. Hundreds of moving boxes? Consider them gone!

Testimonials and About Me

Like many of my fellow franchise owners (280+), I had a good career but longed for something better. I graduated from Penn State with a BS in Administration of Justice. Not experienced enough for federal law enforcement agencies as a recent grad, I took a position with Ryan Homes. It was a great learning experience but was given the opportunity to work for Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC) as a consultant. I spent the next 8+ years in IT and consulted for several Fortune 100 companies. I made great money, but if you ever saw the movie Office Space (banished to a life of cubicals), you could see why I needed to break out. So a friend sent me a link for 1-800-GOT-JUNK? and the rest is history. When I visited our corporate office and met Brian Scudamore (only in his 30's) and saw the brand he was building and the technology behind the service, I was sold.

Here are some of my testimonials:

Amy Patterson, Keller Williams Preferred Real Estate "You guys were a lifesaver! Service was great all compliments, no complaints!"

Maggie Pollich, The Pollich Team - Prudential Fox & Roach "Eric, I was extremely happy with all that you and 1-800-GOT-JUNK? did for me. I had a very tough situation with a seller that had a ton of stuff and due to getting really sick and being in the middle of the week she had a hard time getting any friends to help her......I made an emergency call to you at 12:00 noon on Tuesday with my seller needing to be out and settled by 12:00 noon on
Wednesday. Though you offered to have your crew out in two hours. Per the sellers request, you were there with two crews at 8:00 am the next day and had it all cleaned out and ready to go in 3 1/2 hours. Due to your help and quick response we were able to get the house emptied and the seller to closing on time. It would never have happened with out you. Thank you for being there!"
