Downsizing

Many people are moving to smaller properties as their living spaces become less than ideal for reasons of convenience, finances or lifestyle. Sometimes the scaling-down process can seem overwhelming, especially when possessions accumulated over a lifetime must be winnowed, the home sold, and a new living space established.

Perhaps you have a parent who can no longer live on their own, but will not be living with you. This brings unique emotional and logistical challenges that you may not have the time or resources to attend to. Simply Home will coordinate and manage the entire process with wisdom, empathy and kindness, connecting with your loved ones on a deeply personal level to help achieve your family’s goals.

Our expert team will compassionately and effectively:

  • Assist you in distributing furnishings and other belongings to other family members
  • Organize, sort and pack personal items
  • Allocate and disburse unwanted items for charity or disposal
  • Arrange sale or auction of valuable assets
  • Clean, de-clutter and stage the home for maximum effect when selling
  • Schedule movers and oversee the moving process
  • Unpack, organize and set up the new residence to turn-key
    condition: clean, comfortable, and inviting.

“Rosalind and her team were top notch the entire time we dealt with them. Clearing out my mother-in-law’s home was a very emotionally charged experience and it could have been very stressful. Rosalind and her team went out of their way to ensure my husband and I were taken care of and had the easiest time possible.”

Home Staging

“Flavia and her team were very professional, friendly, and experienced. They transformed my home – it looked like a magazine! Thanks.”

“Purge and organizing. Not only were they a great fit, but I am absolutely blown away by how much got done in ONE day! Mary and her team of three incredible ladies, Leah, Julie, and Celina, were judgement free and came ready and energized to tackle my problem areas. You can tell they love what they do and I never felt like anything was a burden. Thanks again Mary and Team!”

“Decluttering my basement was a job that was left far too long. Pauline, 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 closets, drawers, and the myriad of boxes, asking me what I wanted to keep, donate, recycle or discard. Never judging. Always considering my feelings for mine and my parents’ things. I will never forget this wonderful group of people. I will be calling upon their services again.”

“The moment I met Rosalind I was sold that professional decluttering and staging was the best way to sell my home. My house was completely transformed into a more modern and beautiful home in less than a week. Lead organizer, Sierra, was a dream come true. I could not believe that in one long day she was able to completely declutter the entire house. This service is invaluable. I highly recommend Simply Home Downsizing.”

“My home office was a mess until Rosalind and Flavia worked their magic. They were responsive to my needs and kept in touch throughout the process. On time, on budget, and affordable. Thrilled with the results. Run, don’t walk to this crew for your needs. Highly recommended.”

“Worth every penny. 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!”

Packing, Organizing and Staging.

“I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Rosalind, Pauline, Flavia, and the rest of this amazing team. They have been literal lifesavers! The staging always turns out beautifully and my properties sell faster and for more than most. Looking forward to working with them for many, many years to come!!!”

“When moving from a large house to a condo we called Simply Home Downsizing and boy were we glad we did. The whole team was courteous and knew exactly what to do and how to do it to make our lives so much simplier during a very stressful time. I cannot thank Pauline and her team enough. They came through with flying colours and even went the extra mile when unexpectedly called upon. A true professional company through and through.”

“Pauline and her team blew my mind away. In decluttering and organizing my home they were extremely efficient, patient, organized, and professional. Exceeded my expectations. Amazing team that completely transformed my home with such ease and care. Life changing. Thank you for your magic, truly!!”

Home Staging and Organizing

“Flavia and the team from Simply Home did a great job of preparing the home for sale to make it look its absolute best. The entire process was professional and above my expectations.”

“Great service, lovely people. Mary was wonderful; thorough, efficient, and very careful with our things. I would recommend her enthusiastically.”

Staging, cleaning, and moving

“Rosalind did a fabulous job of coordinating each step of the staging process for us. The teams (stagers, cleaners, movers) were exceptional. The end result was that our place looked spectacular and we were able to sell it quickly.”

“The Simply Home Downsizing staff are incredibly efficient, ruthless in their logic, compassionate, and helpful. One might rightly say they are humane, non-judgmental facilitators of a potentially traumatic event in a person’s life. They are worth the cost if you value your personal well-being when you have to downsize. I would hire them again in a flash.”

“Amazing team! It is overwhelming trying to sell a house and to declutter. The team were unbelievable and made the job so much easier. I love that they could take the initiative to pack items and it helped us through this journey enormously. The team was so knowledgable and respectful with all of our items. It is amazing to have people help you through this process in such a professsional and caring way.”

Attentive and detailed oriented.

“I worked with the team to organize closets and stage my home before we sold it. They did a terrific job on every level. I had a very challenging experience with other stagers in the past, so this was a welcome surprise. I highly recommend them and will be using them for my move, as they also offer that service.”

“I can’t tell you how happy I am to have discovered Simply Home Downsizing. The have made the overwhelming part of dealing with the contents of an estate so efficient and easy. The staff are hard working, knowledgeable and sensitive. Highly recommend their services.”

Best moving experience!

“Moving is such an awful experience, but I cannot tell you how Pauline and her team made this experience as wonderful as possible. The whole team showed up ready to work on time, and went straight to work getting our entire space packed up in a day. I kid you not, I have never been happier to pay for a service. Don’t hesitate using Simply Home for your moving needs – you will not be disappointed.”

“Efficient and compassionate estate clearing service. The Simply Home Downsizing team did a wonderful job of packing up my late mother’s home after she passed away. The whole process was very efficient and the total cost came in under estimate. Simply Home Downsizing was a great help to my family at a very challenging time.”
