Final Clean out of a jam packed home! And some last minute surprises

[@mdelgado1001]

You're so kind toward your mom and wife so nice to see. The other thing I appreciate is the pride of work you have in completing the job.

I love that you're donating to actual charity, not corporate entities disguised as such. Kudos, and thank you for your thoughtfulness

[@annvanwesten2488]

I had the hard chore of emptying out a house of an old friend that was in his final days and found it so hard to donate and sell the life of this friend. I admire your approach to honor the owner as much as possible.

[@kristineguetschow9134]

@annvanwesten2488 - Way back when, before I first assisted in organizing and holding estate sales, I had the mindset of “this is what’s left of this man’s entire life. It’s so sad that we are cleaning, organizing and selling his life.” As the years passed and with many estate sales under my belt, I realized that I had the wrong mindset. The person who passed away had all these items during his lifetime. They meant something to him and he enjoyed them during his lifetime. They meant nothing to his heirs, and he couldn’t take them with him. All of those items could have been tossed in a dumpster and not loved and enjoyed by anyone else. The deceased would be pleased to know that the items sold at the estate sale are loved by their new owners. The items that don’t sell at the estate sale are donated to the charity of the family’s choice.

@@kristineguetschow9134 Thank you so much for your words. I have struggled with this for almost a year. I know many of the things that were bought were used to help others in need. Thanks again.

One of the things I admire most about you and Melissa is you put other peoples feelings and considerations ahead of your convenience. Making sure this woman was well taken care of was so kind and I have no doubt that’s why you guys are so successful. You deserve every bit of success you have for the kind people you are.

I think what's going to really differentiate your new streaming show from all the similar themed ones is your compassion. Caring about the lives of the people who have passed on, caring about their families, friends and neighbors who knew them, recycling and donating, even before any money is made on selling. You and your family have big hearts.

[@wendee2022]

I very much appreciate all the work you do to keep things out of the landfill, all you recycle, all you donate to various charities, but most of all how much you've donated to the displaced Ukranian refugees.

Thank you for taking us along on your hoarding/clean out adventures. I love watching your loving family and friends, working together and helping the community. This is about more than making an income for you guys, that is clear. It is about helping others the best you can. Alex, you have a charismatic presence, and you and Melissa are couples goals.

I hope that you, and all the people living in your area, stay safe from the fire.

[@hilaryc3203]

He isn't red yet. I'm in the next province over, in BC, and last year when fires hit, a huge one got close so my daughter's home (she was on alert to evac so they had basically emptied out the house and up to the next road over was evac'd) that everything was red. She sent me pics taken in the middle of the day and everything, literally, everything was vivid red: houses, lawn, road, air etc..was deep red. It was scary.

[@GrammyPat987654321]

I’m also in Edmonton. We are safe from fire here - but up until yesterday blanketed in smoke!

Not to mention fire tornadoes 100s metres high and atomic bomb size clouds of smoke. Pyrocumulus cloud from bushfires creates it's own weather with lightening strikes. Not fun at all. Particularly when viewed from your front door. It happened day after day in 2019 for us.

[@adalavin8648]

I always enjoy watching the clean outs that Melissa and you do. Normally they leave me feeling somewhat sad for the people who died while you go thru their things. Seems so often like lives not fulfilled. Sometimes even a bit lonely. This clean not at all! This clean out has left me feeling smiling. This man has had such a full, amazing and awesome life that most of us can only dream about. The places he's been and things he's done are wonderful. He's lived his life to the fullest. Good for him. We should take him as an example. 💗

Couldn't help but think about this man the whole way through each episode. At a certain point I was moved to tears. He lived a life of abundance and that was quite evident by the amazing contents of his home. It saddens me though that the person who inherited his condo didn't want the contents as she didn't need any of it, I mean I understand that, but not even a memory of him of somekind apart from the Condo, whether it was the coin collection, a Jersey, the lamps, a painting..kinda like no not interested just want to sell the place and thankyou very much kinda thing. All I can truly say is you and your family dealt with his life with such compassion and respect it kept me strong whilst watching this. You did such a great job. 👍
