Downsizing & Estate Sale - great service!

After Mom passed away, we struggled to find the time and the energy to go through sixty years worth of accumulated memories in the house. Simply Home was able to make more progress in one day than we had been able to make in months. Rosalind and Pauline have been a great support, and Amy and the team were wonderful to deal with as well. I would absolutely recommend Simply Home .

Hi "S", Thank you for the sincere and kind review and for the recommendation. We understand it was difficult to make decisions on all of your Mom's items but we were happy to be able to organize and oversee the MaxSold auction in order to clear out the majority of the items in her home. We wish you and your family all the best. - The Simply Home Downsizing Team

Decluttering and downsizing

I used this company for five days to help me declutter, pack and prepare for a downsizing move. Mary brought great energy to the project and she was able to keep me on track, where I found it easy to get discouraged and slowed by the emotion of parting with certain things. I would never have made the moving deadline without her wonderful help.

I highly recommend this company!

Simplifies is a WONDERFUL company

I had this company Simply Home Downsizing first declutter my condo. Then they packed up what was to be moved to a storage unit to allow for staging.
Then this company staged my condo.
After it sold!
They moved the boxes from the storage unit back to my condo
They then packed me up and moved me
Then unpacked me and by the time they left I only had boxes of photos to deal with.
They hired professional movers and packers
They were hard working and fun
My move was stress free and actually fun!

Moving/disposal/downsizing service

Pauline from Simply Home has been real pleasure to deal with. I have worked with Simply Home previously and have been referring them to my clients. They recently helped me with clearing out furniture and various items of my parents home (I moved them into an assisted living facility) which helped me greatly as I was feeling overwhelmed and stressed from the situation.
Paula is very mindful, accommodating and courteous and her crew of movers were really nice, very efficient and made the process very easy.
I cant thank them enough and I highly recommend their services.

Digging in… and digging out!

Simply Home was terrific to work with. Their team was considerate, thorough and efficient. They were able to coordinate a 2 stage packing, moving and disposal for us; all ran smoothly. I would hire them again in a heartbeat.

Downsizing

After 50 plus years of collecting books plus many items inherited from family, my space was very cluttered, and I left it too late to be able to manage it myself. I cant say enough good things about this company, from the time of the free estimate to the removal of goods for donation, the process was smooth and painless. The two women who did the sorting and packing were fast and efficient, and at the same time they were unobtrusive, which I, as an introvert, greatly appreciated. The two young men who did the pickup were also fast and efficient, and everyone I dealt with was friendly and kind. I highly recommend them!

Help Clearing Out A Home and Packing for Storage/Moving

We called Simply Home Downsizing based on the reviews left by other home owners here and on Google compared to other companies that offered decluttering services. After our initial in person consultation with Pauline, she provided us with a detailed estimate on help to declutter our childhood home that had over 4 decades of accumulated stuff, including belongings from our parents both of whom had passed on years ago. We decided to go with Simply Downsizing as the quote was fair given the volume of stuff we needed to have taken away.

Pauline and Amy led the team. They methodically and systematically organized stuff we wanted to keep in boxes that were clearly labelled to be taken into storage. Everything else was taken away for donation or disposal. Two truckloads later and the house was pretty much emptied after just 4 days. That's right 4 days!! They even came back to pick up a couple of items that didn't make on the truck for disposal a week later.

We don't have photos to share but will say this: Pauline delivered on helping us to clear out a home in getting it ready for sale. They did everything we asked and yes, literally put anything of value that they found aside for us including some valuables we didn't know were tucked away in an unlikely place. We had lots of old appliances, electronics, and furniture from 3 bedrooms, 2 living rooms, kitchen, garage, and basement to clear out. So yes, it was a bit expensive but worth every penny.

A big shout out to Amy as well for her help in leading the crew each day, particularly on the last day when the heat was sweltering.

In short, Simply Home helped us to take a huge step towards moving on from our childhood home. My brother and I are forever grateful as it took away all the stress and lot of emotion out of letting go of accumulated stuff.

We highly recommend calling Pauline at Simply Home if you need help like we did.

Packing and Moving

I needed help decluttering, packing, moving, unpacking, and organizing an "organized hoard" from one condo to another. I had been procrastinating the process because it was so daunting.

Simply Home Downsizing made a very stressful process incredibly easy and smooth.

Everyone was personable, professional, and kind. Pauline responded to my inquiries and questions promptly when I first reached out to her and I felt like I was in good hands.

Leah and Amy were an amazing team. They were incredibly thoughtful, energetic, and so easy to work with. Their kindness was what stood out the most to me and I am so grateful to them.

I do not hesitate in recommending them! Their services are well worth the money, as they saved so much time, stress, and labour.

Home organization and staging

Pauline and her team were amazing from the initial meeting to the final de-staging! I initially brought them in to declutter and organize my home in preparation for selling. This led to having them stage my home as well and was instrumental in selling in less than a month after listing. They were extremely professional, , but also felt like friends! I highly recommend them and plan to use them for packing my home to move.
