Decluttering

Great service. I had a storage/furnace room and a garage full of stuff. I didnt know where to start sorting and clearing out unwanted items. The Simply Home crew came in over 2 days and sorted items into keep, donate, garbage then arranged for the unwanted items to be carted away. They then neatly organized the items I wanted to keep. I couldnt have done it on my own and Im very pleased with the result. I can now park my car in the garage! The crew of 4 was very friendly, prompt and efficient.

Estate clearing

Im so glad that I had Simply Homes to help me in my time of grief. The responsibility to empty my family members apartment after her death and make sure that her belongings were dealt with in a respectful and timely manner was daunting. Pauline had the experience and know-how to accomplish the job and was very reassuring to me from our very first phone call. She made herself available to answer questions, she provided an on-site visit and estimate, she was flexible and efficient and very pleasant to deal with. I especially appreciated that she was able to adjust our contract when the circumstances in the move out process
changed and that she was willing to make a special delivery in order
to be helpful to me personally. She and her associate were right on time and the whole job was completed just as planned. I wholeheartedly
recommend Simply Home Downsizing.

Downsizing and Staging

Simply Home Downsizing Inc. did a fantastic job downsizing, cleaning and staging my home to prepare for the sale. The expert team (including Rosalind) are not only highly experienced, they worked with compassion and care in a very limited timeframe. Highly recommend.

Organization and staging

Simply Home Downsizing has been our go-to organizer and stager 5 times.
First, we needed to declutter our home of 20 years and called Roz at Simply Home. It was a big job and took several days.
We were so impressed, we asked if they would stage our house when we put it on the market. Magnificent job! Our real estate agent was also impressed and asked them to stage other houses.
We moved to a condo and asked Simply Home to organize our space. More miracle ideas and arrangements.
Condo living wasn't for us, so we asked Simply Home to stage it for sale. We sent Roz pictures and she made arrangements for staging furniture, mirrors etc. She came with her crew and transformed the condo in a couple of hours. It sold right away.
We moved to a house and were so busy, we didn't really settle in and make the house feel inviting. Time to call Roz at Simply Home! Roz, Flavia and Sierra came this week and transformed our house into the inviting home we craved, all in 7 hours. Small examples: Roz immediately saw that our bedroom was serving too many functions (closet, sewing machine, bed, reading nook). She rearranged the purpose of each room in the house, so each room had a purpose (the sewing machine and table left the bedroom and moved to a newly created craft space in another room). Sierra organized the office including papers and rearranged cupboards in the kitchen. Flavia saw that the plants on the counter reduced our work space. She eyed a side table that was used for odds and ends and moved it to a window as a place for the plants. Brilliant! 'Why didn't I think of that?' Flavia rearranged the furniture in the TV room. Again, why didn't we think of that!
Those are just examples - the three of them flew through the house moving, arranging and decluttering (four bags to Goodwill - including beautiful cushions that we don't use and are delighted that someone else can enjoy them).
Simply Home Downsizing is simply the best!

Daunting Task Accomplished

We wanted to clear up our Mothers estate. It was a daunting task that we figured would take month ls if we attempted it on our own. A three story house loaded with household goods, patterns, fabric and family memorabilia.

Fortunately, we engaged with Simply Home Downsizing. They quickly sorted the house into categories, protected the memorabilia, disposed of obvious waste, donated goods to charity and, arranged for an incredibly successful MaxSold Auction.

All in record time, the house was ready to catch the spring real estate market.

Thank you Simply Home Downsizing!

Downsizing from house to condo - not cheap, but accurate quotes - and SO worth it

I reached out to about 5 different downsizing services and Mary was the only person who replied at 7am the next day. We quickly followed up with calls and a visit to make an assessment for a quote; in the meantime other companies hadn't even responded yet. The whole process was super well organized, well explained, and Mary was responsive and available.

The lady who came to actually carry out the organizing and packing, Julie, was also very efficient, friendly, and great at her job. You can tell that they've done this many times before. She also gave me thoughtful opinions on what to keep and what to get rid of, and even found a few documents and items among my donate pile which I was grateful that she saved.

Overall the entire experience made downsizing from a house to a condo so much less stressful. Yes the service was not cheap and you can put stuff into boxes and drive it to a donation centre for free, but the amount of time, energy, and stress that takes is not to be underestimated.

Mom moving to LT care

The work of Simply Home Downsizing was very professional! They were prompt and always on time, while completing the job in less time than estimated. Total invoice was $2,000 less than estimated and their work was flawless.
Great job and Thanks

cleaned 20+ years of stuff in 3 days

We needed to clean my mom's house out as my husband and 2 young kids were moving in. The task seemed insurmountable with 20+ years of belonging from our family and my mom being more attached to some items. I was referred to the team and Mary quickly sat down for a meeting and spoke to us very reasonably. My mom felt OK with allowing them to work with us. We were able to get working on the project in a few days. Then, we asked for a mental break and they accommodated that. They also got all the service providers we wouldn't have even known to find to get rid of all the stuff efficiently.

I can honestly say, the work we did in 3 days would have taken MONTHS. Not only in time, but STRESS and family conflict. It's not a cheap process by any means and if you are on the fence I think the value you get in time back and less stress is totally worth it.

Attentive and detail oriented

I worked with the team to organize closets and stage the basement of 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.

Amazing team

It is overwhelming trying to sell a house and to de-clutter. 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 our items. It is amazing to have people help you through this process in such a professional and caring way.
The staging was so beautiful that we bought many of the items such as the dining table and chairs.
