Heirloom Properties has a good reputation with the people I know.

Brought all parties together and physically helped my friend go through the house to pack up family heirlooms What was the outcome?

I, too, aim to be as accommodating to residents as possible.However...For my own liability protection and personal sanity, I'll only schedule our group viewings for when the resident can be physically present.For one thing, I'm a digital nomad (currently living in Colombia), so I'm likely never going to be conducting their viewing myself.But mostly, I don't want a resident claiming that some priceless heirloom went missing or got damaged after holding a showing in their absence.We'll pick a convenient time, typically 1 hour on a Saturday afternoon, and set appointments for up to 6 pre-screened buyers to take a look.

I think most people would see it as trash, but I don't want to open myself up to "oh that was a family heirloom with sentimental value..."

That depends on what your state or local laws say, but I can guarantee that 24 hours after you throw it out the tenant will be back and raising a fuss because you threw out all their precious heirlooms.

I've seen Heirloom while I have been analyzing deals in Duluth.

We have seen in play many times that homeowners have been awarded money in suits due to personal heirlooms that were lost because the home was foreclosed on and the personal items we stolen/destroyed/damaged/etc.

Turns out there's NOTHING that they can't avoid having you get.I could walk through my house right now and EVERYTHING that's in here I could refer to as (1) a family heirloom, (2) used in the preparation of meals, (3) used in the normal course of my business or occupation, (4) covering the lein of a third party!

Tenant leaves belongings in unit (do everything you can to ascertain whether they are comming back for property [if they still have time before the deadline], and document in detail all you do [in case they say you got rid of their family heirloom thingamabob]), any expense you incur to deal with those left behind belongings very well may be justification for charging against the security deposit.Also, just a note - many landlords in OH do not know this, but OH law requires landlords to mail to the former tenant a written accounting of how the security deposit was spent (i.e., what % refunded and what was spent for what).

Think of a cold coke bottle sweating on that walnut heirloom table without a coaster under it.
