Estate Clearing Service Highly Recommended

I am writing this review on behalf of my family to express our heartfelt gratitude for the outstanding estate clearing services provided by Alivio Downsizing. The entire team went above and beyond in assisting us with the challenging task of clearing my late aunt's house, and their dedication truly made a difficult time much more manageable.

From the initial consultation to the final stages of the process, Alivio exhibited the utmost professionalism and empathy. They demonstrated a profound understanding of the emotional challenges associated with estate clearing and approached the entire project with sensitivity and care.

Overall, I cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional service provided.

Work was adequate but communication/treatment was unprofessional

I do not recommend this business. While the work was adequate, I began receiving unprofessional and emails threatening legal action in short order upon receiving the final invoice. We had paid a 50% deposit up front and had requested the funds from the estate to pay the final bill (which was settled 2.5 weeks after receiving it). They tried to charge us interest at approx. 182.5% per year (above the Criminal Code max as I understand it). I would hate to see someone in a vulnerable position, managing an estate after the death of a loved one, as we were, treated so unprofessionally and unkindly.

Dear Leanne,
We acknowledge your feedback. Let's clarify some key points. In your recent and previous messages, you conveyed gratitude, stating, "Thanks so much. This looks great. Yes, let me know when you have the final invoice, and I'll get that taken care of. Thanks again for everything! All the best, Leanne." This, naturally, was just before we requested payment in accordance with the clearly outlined, agreed-upon terms—standard and explicit for all our satisfied clients - on Google and otherwise.

We provided a generous payment schedule, offering a clear schedule of events and in your case a month's notice for final payment. Regrettably, when the terms were not met, and there was no communication regarding payment or an intended date of payment, escalation became necessary. It's important to note that the interest charges you mentioned were promptly removed due to an error in calculation. Despite your late payment, you did not incur any penalty.

We highly value our clients and their satisfaction. It's disheartening to be portrayed as predatory when, in reality, adherence to agreed-upon terms is a fundamental aspect of our professional relationships. Our past clients understand that a business must be paid to continue providing quality service.

Best of luck to you.

wonderful experience

Downsizing a deceased family member's household is a difficult job. Ritja and her team were extremely efficient in this task . Besides the physical aspect of getting rid of a lifetime of possessions there is the emotional aspect of downsizing. Rita and her team handled it with the appropriate amount of care and concern. In the end many things were sold at auction and other things were donated to charities that would put them to good use. The rest was recycled or disposed of. The apartment was left very clean.

From the very first meeting we were impressed with Rita. Everything she told us was done on time and very efficiently.
I would suggest anyone should definitely hire this company as they are reliable and efficient and a pleasure to work with.

I was able to breathe again.

My husband has dementia; the time had come to move him into a retirement home that could support him better than I could. The clock was ticking, and the stress was suffocating. I did not know where to start or how I would get it all done. Then the retirement home suggested I give Rita a call over at Alivio Downsizing, I figured why not. It was the best decision I have made in years. Finally I was rescued! We coordinated a plan together; they help me pack and move him to the retirement home with gentle care and consideration. Then within two weeks, the house was emptied, staged and ready to be sold. What a godsend! Thank you.

Downsizing and Moving

Alivio Solutions was incredibly helpful with my Dad's move to an assisted living facility. They moved all of his items with care and assisted in getting his room set up, including reassembling his bed and his dresser. They were flexible on the time for the move and they connected with the home to ensure that the timing would work.

Once my Dad was settled into the assisted living facility my focus shifted to downsizing his home for sale. I was completely overwhelmed with the volume of items and the physical task of emptying the house. Alivio, and Rita herself, took over the process and alleviated my stress. They organized all of his belongings for donation, disposal and sale. They prepared and executed an online auction that brought in significant funds to assist with the costs of moving and downsizing.

I am thankful for all of the hard work done by Rita and the Alivio Solutions staff. They went above and beyond.

Downsizing Saviours

Alivio was exactly what our family needed in a very stressful time. We hired them to downsize our grandfather's home after he had to move into assisted living unexpectedly. Because we all live out of town/province, it was virtually impossible to all of it ourselves, nor did we want to. They took care of EVERYTHING! The house literally looked like someone just walked out and they got it to pre-staging in a few days! We didnt have to worry about anything; they sold all our valuables, donated and disposed of everything else and coordinated the cleaning. They also worked so well with our realtor. Highly professional and we highly recommend their services! Thank you so much Alivio Solution!

downsizing, donation and auction services

I really can't say enough about what a positive experience working with Alivio Solutions was for me. I was so overwhelmed - I'd been trying to clear out the home of an elderly parent for almost 2 months and was making minimal progress, with maximum exhaustion. I already had limited capacity and I found myself agonizing over even the smallest decisions (what to keep, how to dispose of something, etc.). I knew I was struggling, but little did I know I'd find my salvation in a timely recommendation for Alivio in a local community Facebook group. I got a quote and when it came in it was like a huge weight had been lifted. They showed up when they said they would every time, they tailored the services to what we needed, they didn't try to add on or upsell, they were totally transparent and they got the job done - quickly and efficiently. Having Alivio step in and just handle everything (including me haha) was such a huge relief. They saved me - or at least what was left of my sanity. Perhaps the most amazing thing was that because we elected to hold an auction for items we didn't need to keep, in the end the proceeds from those sales MORE than covered the cost of the service and we ended with a few extra funds to support my parent's care. Highly recommend.
