Outstanding!

Rosalind and her team made the sale of our home (de-cluttering and staging) and subsequent move (packing, moving and storing) both pain-free and efficient. Her people were professional, hard-working, very pleasant and 100% careful with all our art, antiques, glassware, etc. My wife and I very very impressed and pleased. We won't move again without calling Rosalind.

Decluttering Basement Nightmare

This was a job that was left far too long. Pauline, the owner, Sierra and the rest of the crew were not at all deterred by the enormous amount of stuff to be sorted through. They painstakingly went through all the closets, drawers and the myriad of boxes, small items and large, asking me what i wanted to keep, donate, recycle or discard. Never judging. Always considering my feelings for mine and my parents' things. The old fridge, dryer and extremely large freezer were also removed. Huge task. Especially the heavy, massive freezer which had to be maneuvered around corners!!!! All done with lots of smiles and tireless encouragement and energy. I will never forget this wonderful group of people and more than highly recommend this company. I will be calling upon their services again. Thank you so much, Pauline

Hi "M", we are about to cry now! Your kindness and appreciation for our work has not gone unnoticed. You were a gem to work with and we definitely had a few good laughs. Also, your basement was not a nightmare....many people acquire lots of items and memorabilia over time. We would be thrilled to assist you again in the future. Many thanks! - The Simply Home Downsizing Team

From Large House to Condo

My husband and I purchased a new home and had to get our current home ready for selling. We called Simply Home Downsizing and boy were we glad we did. They were so professional, always promptly on time and really listened to our needs and were ready to pivot when a change had to be made at the last minute. The whole team was courteous and knew exactly what to do and how to do it to make our lives so much simpler during a very stressful time.

I cannot thank Paluine and her team enough. They came through with flying colours and even went the extra mile when unexpectedly called upon, like pruning our giant plant so it would be easy to transport to our new home.

I highly recommend them for not only helping us declutter and downsizing, but also for storing our items until our actual move. I will be calling upon Simply Home Downsizing when the time comes that we move and will be needing help to organize our new home. A true professional company through and through.

As Stressless as a Move Can Be

I am a widow in my late seventies downsizing into a new modern condo with smaller living and storage space. I was faced with disposing of many cherished items that I knew I could live without but still it is hard to part with. Pauline and her team came on the scene 2 days before the actual move and had it very efficiently and neatly packed up by the time the movers arrived on the 3rd day. In that time, decisions were made as to items to donate and which box would go where when we arrived at the new place. Where the team really excelled I thought was unpacking and figuring out where things would fit in the new space. Kitchen cupboards were a particular challenge but their experience in setting up so many other places was evident. They were ingenious with solutions for many items that didn't seem to have a home. Somehow they all got tucked away. By the end Day 4 I was 95% unpacked and could comfortably carry on my life and feel at home. It is said that moving is one of life's most stressful times but thanks to the team of "Simply Home Downsizing" they made it as stress free as I think it could be. Thank you team.

Decluttered a very difficult home

Pauline and her team are an absolute God send.

I had a client dealing with a lot of grief from the loss of a parent. He was paralyzed from taking action packing and donating his/his parents belongings. We were very pressed for time to empty the home to get it ready for market.

Pauline and her team came in and worked with empathy, understanding, and caution to pack up his home and move things where they needed to be moved.

I am beyond happy with their service and will absolutely use them again in the future.

Thank you Pauline!

Worth Every Penny

I contacted SHD because my family was in desperate need of help in moving my parents out of their home of 50 years. Best call I have ever made. Mary and her team were kind, respectful, worked very hard and made sure my parents understood every step of the process. Mary also went above and beyond several times during the move. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing help downsizing or estate removal. My parents are both very happy with how everything worked out, and that is a ringing endorsement!

Packed My Whole House in 3 Days

My first packers had me as a double booking and my stager recommended Simply Home Downsizing to the rescue. I was under a deadline to get my house on the market and I needed help. Simply Home Downsizing were pros from start to finish. I paid extra to have other drop offs and donations done on the way to my locker where I could triage again. They will be back to my locker to repack and list items for my overseas part of the move. Their team was efficient and organized. I felt so much relief when my my whole house was packed in 3 days.
