Who is Kept House?
Our core mission is to provide the most thoughtful resource during life’s biggest transitions.
Kept House began with Jamie and Greg’s desire to support family through a challenging moment. When coronavirus began in March of 2020 and businesses were forced to shut down, these two Walnut Hills High School graduates were living and working in Chicago. After being laid off, they knew the giant-sized lemon life had just handed them could, and likely would, turn into something refreshing. The moment was ripe. When Jamie’s grandfather passed away at the age of 99, and Greg’s baby boomer parents began needing that little extra help, the idea for Kept House was born. Still in it’s embryo stage, they knew they’d stepped into something unique, something valuable, and something they could use to do what they love the most: help.
The mission became more when they saw the need extended beyond their own families. Jamie and Greg found that their passion had turned into an exciting journey that could provide a timely and invaluable resource to the city of Cincinnati and beyond.
Students of the Ashford Institute of Antiques and alumni of the University of Cincinnati and Southern University (respectively), Jamie and Greg have career backgrounds in the non-profit, public education and service sectors before starting Kept House.
Our vision is to build the most efficient web of support as the premier player in estate transitions and unique shopping.
Our High Value Promise
We know that we are not always ideally positioned to get the highest return for a particular item or lot, so we partner with the best auction houses in the business to make sure you get your money’s worth.
That way, you don’t have to waste time wondering who to turn to for what items, because we’ve got you covered. We are your one-stop-shop for full ESTATE TRANSITIONS.
ESTATE TRANSITIONS:
Our ESTATE TRANSITION package leaves the home completely empty and ready for next steps (see video below).
We are happy to connect you to one of our preferred realtors (or other partners) as well.
DONATION PROCESS:
Through our unique donation process, most clients will save at least 50% by allowing Kept House to manage the estate clear out.
We are an Earth-Friendly company and we do everything we can to keep quality used goods out of the landfill.

The clients we serve appreciate the Kept House Process! Watch the video below to see what they are saying about our service.
Kept House Estate did an amazing job with an old and packed full house. From start to finish the The Kept House team were considerate to our situation, professional, organized and thorough. Their straightforward website with timelines and structured plans attracted us to their company and we are so glad we chose this team to clear the estate (we chose the Full Clear Out Package). After an initial meeting and walk through, I was able to hand the estate off to them with full confidence (and I lived over 500 miles away from the estate)! Jamie and Greg kept me informed throughout the process and were always courteous and professional. At the end they partnered with Habitat and other charities and kept as much as possible out of the land fill, which was very important to me. I recommend Kept House Estate Sale Company to anyone and everyone faced with the challenges of closing an estate!
During getting our home ready for sales we wanted to get rid of some furniture items. I had no idea how much they would cost. I happen to talk to Kept house partner. I really appreciate their help in selling our valuable pieces. They owned the process of auction and communication. We had do to very minimal work from our side. Their contract fit to our requirements perfectly. I found them very trust worthy professionals.
Thank you Kept house for all your help.
