The Dutiful Daughter was founded in 1970 by Jane Wlochowski with a simple mission: to help families navigate life’s transitions with care, integrity, and respect. For more than 40 years, Jane and her family have supported individuals and families who are downsizing, moving into retirement communities, or coping with the loss of a loved one.

What began as a small family business has grown into a trusted, multi-generational company. Jane has since passed the reins to her son, Aaron, who oversees day-to-day operations, and today the third generation, Connor, has joined the business—continuing the family’s tradition of compassionate, professional service.

In the fall of 2014, The Dutiful Daughter expanded operations to Massachusetts. With the full support of the Wlochowski family, Sean McAdam opened and has successfully operated the Massachusetts office, upholding the same core values and client-first philosophy that define our company.

We specialize in complete home contents removal and disposal, offering thoughtful, end-to-end support during difficult transitions. Our extensive network of resources allows us to handle every aspect of the process efficiently and at a pace suited to each client’s needs.

Our owners and staff bring deep knowledge of antiques and collectibles, giving clients confidence that valuable items are identified, handled properly, and sold at fair market value. While markets constantly change—and the next generation does not always want the same items—we are committed to maximizing value whenever possible.

As a family-owned and operated company, we always put our clients’ best interests first. We are highly reputable (see our testimonials) and committed to responsible practices. Whenever possible, we recycle and donate items to local charities, agencies, and businesses to reduce landfill waste and support our communities.
