Nantucket's Trusted Downsizing & Estate Sale Service
We help you sell what you no longer need — furniture, collectibles, household items, and more — so you and your kids don't have to worry. Zero stress.
The numbers are startling — but so is what happens the moment you decide to let go.
The Good News
The Process
We handle everything from assessment to sale, so you can focus on what matters most.
We come to you, walk through your items together, and give you an honest assessment — no obligation, no pressure, no cost.
We photograph, price, list, and sell your items across Facebook Marketplace, eBay, Craigslist, and estate sale platforms.
When items sell, you receive your 50% share. We handle all buyer communication, pickups, and coordination.
Unsold items are donated or responsibly disposed of. You're left with a lighter space — and a lighter heart.
No upfront fees. No surprise charges. We only get paid when you do — so we're just as motivated as you are to get the best price for your belongings.
New Service
We haul it all — and what's worth selling, we sell. Your 50% share can offset the cost, making your clearout potentially free.
Most people dread clearouts because they see a truckload of stuff going straight to a dumpster — and a big bill at the end. We do it differently. Before anything leaves your property, we walk through with you and identify anything that has real resale value: furniture, collectibles, vintage items, tools, artwork, and more. Those items go straight into our selling pipeline — Facebook Marketplace, eBay, Craigslist, and estate sale platforms.
Your 50% cut from sales is applied directly against your clearout cost. In many cases, clients walk away paying little — or nothing at all.
Get a Free Assessment →Moving, downsizing, settling an estate, or just starting fresh — we handle everything from the first room to the last closet. One call, one team, done.
Before anything gets hauled away, we assess for resale potential. Furniture, collectibles, vintage goods, tools, art — anything sellable goes to work for you first.
What doesn't sell gets donated when possible, recycled where we can, and disposed of responsibly. We're mindful about where things go.
Straightforward, honest pricing. You know the range up front. We only earn when the job is done — and the better we sell, the less you pay.
A small single-room pickup starts around $100. A full multi-room or whole-home clearout falls toward the higher end — and larger estates or commercial properties are priced by assessment. Either way, your 50% share from any sales is credited against your total, which can bring your actual out-of-pocket cost all the way down to zero.
We visit, walk through everything, identify sellable items, and give you a clear quote — no obligation.
Valuable items are photographed, listed, and actively sold before the rest is cleared out.
Everything that doesn't sell gets hauled away cleanly — donated, recycled, or responsibly disposed of.
Your 50% from sales reduces what you owe. Sometimes there's nothing left to pay at all.
Our Story
Founded in Nantucket, MA
Lighten Up was born from a journey my wife and I took that changed our lives forever.
We made a commitment to each other — to leave our home in Florida, hit the road, and truly live. My wife is a travel nurse, and I work remotely in insurance sales, so we packed up, said goodbye to most of what we owned, and set off across the country with our two mini dachshunds, Stirfry & Beans.
It wasn't easy. We had to make hard decisions — what to sell, what to let go of, what actually mattered. What we discovered surprised us. We never realized how much our stuff was weighing us down — emotionally, mentally, and physically. The moment we let go, we felt a freedom we hadn't expected. We stopped being directed by things and started being directed by experiences and each other.
That chapter became the most fulfilling of our lives. We were finally following our dreams — and it all started with letting go of our stuff.
"Sometimes we choose to move forward — and sometimes life chooses for us. Either way, I want to make it one of the best experiences of your life."
When we landed on Nantucket, I had the opportunity of helping a local homeowner sort through a lifetime of belongings — and something clicked. That's why Lighten Up exists today. Whether you're downsizing, starting fresh, or simply ready to breathe again — I know firsthand what's waiting on the other side. I'd be honored to help you get there.
Kind Words
Real stories from real families who found peace of mind.
After paying storage fees for nearly two years, I knew I had to let go of things that would never fit my new life. Meeting Rey gave me the push I needed to finally stop procrastinating. In just two months, he turned what felt like an impossible burden into real results — sales arranged, stress gone, and more money in my pocket than I expected. I'm genuinely excited about the road ahead!
I was completely overwhelmed after my husband passed. I didn't know where to start. Lighten Up took the entire burden off my shoulders — and I walked away with money in my pocket I didn't expect.
My parents were moving to assisted living and we had no idea what to do with 40 years of stuff. This service was a lifesaver. Professional, caring, and fair from start to finish.
I did this for my kids. I didn't want them fighting over "who gets what" or dealing with a mountain of things. Now I can enjoy my final chapter without that weight hanging over me.
