When the keys are passed, we handle everything that comes next — cleaning, sorting, resale, and the family check at the end. Most families pay nothing out of pocket.
we handle the whole transition
Whether your loved one left a tidy ranch or a packed three-bedroom colonial, our team takes the property from cluttered to closing-ready. You make one call. We do the rest.
Whole-house clean-outs with care. We sort, pack, donate, and haul — treating every belonging like it belongs to our own family.
We turn what stays into cash. Pre-priced estate sales, online auctions, and consignment to put real money back in the family's hands.
Photo-ready turnover for listings, closings, and rentals. Carpets, walls, kitchens, bathrooms — spotless and showing-day ready.
Nothing is left behind. Donations go to vetted local charities; the rest is hauled and disposed of responsibly. Receipts provided.
We work directly with probate attorneys and personal representatives. Inventories, photos, and timelines — documentation when you need it.
Discreet, compassionate work for sensitive situations. We arrive without judgment and we leave without a trace.
no surprises, no out-of-pocket on most jobs
We meet you at the property — respectfully and on your timeline. We listen first, then walk every room together.
You receive a written plan with timeline and pricing. On most jobs, our fee comes from resale proceeds — nothing out of pocket.
We handle everything — clean-out, sale, hauling, deep clean. When we're done, the home is photo-ready and you receive a check.
— from one Michigan family to another —
Average Joe's was founded in 2026 by JoAnn Genette right here in Macomb County. After years of helping friends and neighbors navigate the overwhelming work of an estate transition, JoAnn built Average Joe's to do it the way it should be done: with patience, with respect, and with the family's best interest at the center of every decision.
We're family-owned. We're insured and bonded. And we believe that on the worst week of someone's life, the very least we can do is take one big thing off their plate.
JoAnn walked into my mother's house the day after the funeral and made me feel like I could breathe again. Two weeks later the house was empty, clean, and listed. I cannot recommend her enough.
I'm a probate attorney and I send Average Joe's every estate clean-out my office handles. Professional, fast, and the families always come back grateful.
They turned what felt impossible into a finished job in nine days. We didn't pay a dime out of pocket and the check at the end was a real surprise. Worth every star.
From the lakeshore to Romeo — if you're in Macomb County, we'll come to you.
