When you're downsizing a parent or settling an estate, we handle all of it: sorting, valuing, moving, and selling the home. One trusted family team, from the first hard day to the closing.
A calm conversation, no obligation. We'll tell you exactly how we'd handle it.
A whole life doesn't fit in a single hard week.
Most families have to hire a sorter, an appraiser, a mover, and a realtor, and coordinate all four through the worst month of the year. We bring all four together, so you make one call.
We go room by room with you: what to keep, what to pass down, what to let go. Nothing that matters gets lost in the rush, and you never touch a box you don't want to.
A credentialed appraiser tells you what the antiques, art, jewelry, and collections are truly worth, and finds the right buyer for each, instead of letting it go for nothing.
Hand in hand with Long Moving & Storage, our trusted moving partner, we pack, transport, and set up the new place, or empty the house entirely and leave it broom-clean and ready to sell.Long Moving & Storage · family-run · fully insured
We tell you straight what the house needs, from a failing septic to a tired roof, and what's worth fixing versus selling as-is. Then we list and sell it, the largest piece by far, with 200+ home sales and thirteen years on this coast behind it.
Tell us what you're facing. We'll come walk the home with you, free, and no obligation.
A clear, written plan: timeline, what's worth what, what it costs, what the home should sell for.
Sorted, valued, moved, sold. You get updates, not tasks. You show up to sign at the end.
This isn't a franchise that flew in. We were raised on this water and have worked it for four generations. When you hand us a home, you're handing it to neighbors.
I've spent thirteen years and more than two hundred home sales helping South Coast families through the biggest moves of their lives. Somewhere in there I realized the house was only ever half of it. The harder half came first: the lifetime of belongings, the decisions no one feels ready to make, the moving, the grief. And most families were left to carry all of it alone, in the worst month of their year.
So I built Long Estate Co. to be the one team that does the whole thing. My brother's family runs Long Moving & Storage, a separate company we work hand in hand with. I handle the home sale and coordinate every piece in between, with a trusted appraiser for anything of value. One family, one call, from the first hard day to the closing table.
I was raised on this coast and I'm not going anywhere. When I walk into your parents' home, I treat it the way I'd want someone to treat mine.
Long Estate Co. is a husband-and-wife business, John and Kelley Long, with the family's roots on this coast going back generations.
Before we ever did this work for another family, we lived it ourselves, at 2042 Main, our family's home on the harbor at Westport Point. We carried the whole weight of it, the sorting, the deciding, the letting go, and learned firsthand how much a family needs someone steady beside them.
That is the reason this company exists. So the next family doesn't have to do it alone.
