Our Values
The Burden Of Long Distance
You’re already dealing with the emotional weight of loss. Navigating an estate and a home clear-out from another city—or another country—adds an overwhelming layer of complexity. The logistics of travel, the cost of flights, and the sheer volume of work can feel impossible to manage from afar. It’s not just about sorting through possessions; it’s about handling a lifetime of memories and important documents while also trying to process your grief.
This is the burden of distance that we specialize in lifting, allowing you to focus on what matters most without the added stress of a transatlantic flight and an exhaustive to-do list.
We understand the unique challenges you're facing:

The Stress of Travel
The cost of flights, hotels, and time away from your own life just to manage the estate.

A Lack of Local Presence
The difficulty of coordinating with realtors, lawyers, and service providers when you can't be there in person.

The Weight of Decision-Making
The pressure of deciding what to keep, donate, sell, or discard from a lifetime of belongings.

The Impossible Logistics
The overwhelming task of managing a full clear-out from hundreds or thousands of miles away.

What Our Clients Say?
Posted on Monika CurrieTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My family hired Christine and Estates Sales By Christine to clean up and clear out my sister’s house after she passed away. With us being in Alberta, it was very difficult to travel to Vancouver and get time off work. Christine was able to clear and clean the entire house within a couple of weeks, and also staged it for viewings. If you are in Vancouver or the Lower Mainland, I would recommend her services.Posted on CB BTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I don't know what I would have done without Christine's services to handle a large estate liquidation. The home that had to be liquidated was in another province to where I live, which added another level of complication and stress. I went through all the paperwork in the home which was overwhelming in itself, then left Christine to deal with everything else in the fully furnished 3,000 sq. ft. five bedroom residence. I'm sure I would have had to live there for over a year to deal with everything. It was just too much for one person to handle, as well as dealing with the loss of a family member. Thank goodness for Christine and her crew who tackled and dealt with it all in one week. I had so much confidence in Christine's work ethics that I did not stay or fly back to check on everything. When the job was done a local friend did the walk-through with Christine, and I was told she and her crew left the place in immaculate condition. It was show-home ready for when it is put up for sale. Thank you Christine for your hard work, knowledge, dedication and energetic spirit, as well as having a passion for what you do. It shows in your work and definitely makes a difference. CBPosted on Jill ConstableTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My experience with Christine and her team was excellent. I had quick and clear communication from the start, and then the service on the actual clear out day was efficient and hassle free. It was reassuring to have one business be able to handle both the estate treasures that are destined for a new life in another home, and also the removal of the items that were at the end of their lifespan. I recommend this company and the lovely team of people who did the work.Posted on Lovie BernardTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My mom's attorney set up Christine's services just prior to my coming from California. She is outstanding in her organization, there is just nothing she does not do, she brought the boxes, bubble wrap, paper to wrap items, tape etc. She gets rid of the recycling, not just regular items but has a secure place to take all of mom's secure business and bank paperwork, she knows the professional names of all items to be sent to auction, she can help get rid of medication, garbage, housepaint , items you just have no idea what to do with or who to call. She works fast, on time, calls you back so quickly. She is worth every penny. On a personal note , this was my childhood home of 60 years. I would have wanted no one else to be there to help take such great care and respect with mom's items , Christine takes care of all your items as if they are her own. She is kind, personable and incredibly honest ( she found valuable jewelry hidden and brought it all to me ). She held my hand during tearful moments and gave wonderful advice when I asked for help. There are not enough stars for Christine's rating. She is the best one of all. Lovie WhittPosted on Eric HellmanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. In one word: Superb. Christine is one of the best professionals I have ever worked with, in ANY field. Even before we hired her, she gave us tons of helpful advice on how to sell both the house and its contents. As she walked through the place, she saw the value and potential in everything – from high end antiques to (even) used motor oils and cleaning supplies! She uses multiple auction houses and recycling centres, and her goal is to send as little as possible to the garbage. As someone to work with, Christine is excellent. She’s positive, friendly and enthusiastic about what she does, while at the same time being very knowledgeable and deeply caring. From the very start, we felt we could rely on her. Her team worked hard and delivered, even on short turnarounds. And they truly did clear out EVERYTHING, leaving the house in great shape for the next owner. I would recommend Christine Caroline to anyone. Just call her, talk with her, have her to your house. And see what you think...Posted on Cindy CameronTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The most amazing service ever! Christine and her team went through my Moms home in two and a half days - it would have taken me 6 months. Less than a week after I contacted her and it’s complete. She took the burden off my shoulders and gave me peace of mind during a very difficult time. Exceeding all expectations, I highly recommend her to anyone having to deal with the loss of a loved one and the daunting task of going through their belongings.Posted on Oliver CostoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I gave Estate Services by Christine Caroline a call in a bit of a panic as I wasn’t sure how to approach my situation. She took the time to explain the process from start to finish and gave me extra piece of mind when it came to my families home. Attention to detail, efficiency and professionalism were taken to the highest degree. I can’t thank you enough Christine for what you’ve done for us!

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to clearout an estate?
Sorting out a deceased estate involves a multi-step process. First, it is essential to secure any legal documents, like the will or trust, and obtain necessary permissions or probate to handle the estate’s assets. Once legalities are clear, we begin by cataloging all assets, including real estate, financial instruments, personal items, and valuables.
It is also vital to address any outstanding debts or bills. Collaborating with legal and financial professionals helps simplify the process, ensuring that all assets are distributed according to the deceased family member’s wishes or legal stipulations.
Do I have to be around while you're clearing out the home?
No, we prefer family not be present as it can become very emotional.
How do you determine the value or worth of an item?
Christine and her team do not provide appraisals or valuations on individual items. As we are not certified experts, we do not want to provide improper details to our clients. Instead, we have a network of trusted appraisers and auction house professionals that we can connect you with to ensure you get accurate and professional valuations for your items.
