Home staging and Decluttering

Rosalind was a great help to me in my recent sale of a detached home, that required decluttering and staging. Her assistance began with a consultation outlining exactly what items needed to be thinned, removed, stored and what items could remain in the home for further staging. Her creative eye made the best use of the clients existing furniture and accessories, while selectively adding key staging pieces to elevate the homes style and appeal to buyers. There was one room in the home that required more extensive staging through the rental of furniture, side and end tables. This home would be the first impression on the main floor and Rosalind masterfully explained the importance of creating the best first impression possible in order to maximize the homes appeal to buyers. She was a true professional in explaining why this added work was not only beneficial, but necessary in order to maximize the returns on the sale of their home. This listing went on to sell for $180,000 over asking price. The sellers were elated and they have now asked Rosalind to help them decorate their new home. I look forward to working with Rosalind in many more projects!

Cleared out a hoarding situation

Jeff, Pauline and team were efficient, yet kind and respectful as we cleared out an elderly relative’s home. They put together a strategy that enabled us to focus on the needs of the relative, while they worked through what had to happen in the house. The process was well thought out and communication was excellent. We appreciated that they are really fluid with their approach and fit right into our timing constraints where we had any. They have put us in a place where the property is ready to be listed. We highly recommend this team!

Efficient trustworthy service

I had to clear out my mother's house after she passed on last year, a daunting task. Jeff and Pauline came over to estimate the job and got back to me the next day with a quote. We set a date for sorting and removal of items and after I indicated what I wanted to keep they went to work. The whole house was sorted in 2 days and cleared out on the 3rd day. Very satisfied with their service and honesty. When coming across sentimental or valuable items they always checked with me first. I couldn't have done this without them. Highly recommended!

Thank you G. For taking the time to compose such a kind and thoughtful review. We make sure that our clients are always part of the process especially when we find items we feel are worth bringing to their attention.
Working with you was a pleasure. You were very clear on what your goals were for the project which made it easy to execute on your behalf. We hope the next stage of the project goes as easily for you. All the best from the team at Simply Home.

Clearing out house

Jeff and his gang were incredible. We had to clear out a house we had lived on since 1971, and we were not looking forward to such a task. Simply Home took virtually all the pain out of such a difficult job. They found all the services we needed, and then disposed of anything left over. I recommend them without hesitation!

Organize/Prep for on line Auction

I recently used the services of Simply Home Downsizing to help with the task of sorting, organizing & cataloguing for on line Auction.
Rosalind provided me guidance, gave me options & prepared my items for auction.
I cannot thank you enough Rosalind for your awesome service, care & hard work. I was overwhelmed and you were calm.

Exceptional Service - Well Organized

I recently sold my condo and had purchased another. It was a week prior to the move date, I was completely disorganized and had not prepped or started to pack. I was so busy with work, my attention was not on the move. I felt overwhelmed and disorganized. The panic was real.

I reached out to Pauline and her team, they immediately made me feel relieved. They came to my home, organized, packed and took control of the situation. When I moved into the new condo, they helped me unpack, get organized and feel settled.

I'm so incredibly grateful for their help.

If you are a busy individual such as myself, their services are exactly what you need.

Bedroom closet and couch assembly

The people at simply Home helped to create a storage solution for my closet. They sourced the options, materials and organized receipt of delivery. When it was confirmed they would be ordering materials through Ikea they were very gracious and coordinated ordering my couch from this same location. They were on site for the delivery and install which meant I did not have to be. They very kindly put my couch together at no extra cost. I would use them again and I would highly recommend their services to others. Cost below includes my couch which was $1100. AND when ikea couch then went on sale they coordinated with them to honour sale price...I didn’t have to lift a finger!

Best service - packing, organizing, selling furniture for two moves!

Jeff is an absolute lifesaver! I worked with Jeff twice - first in 2016, when I was packing to move abroad, and again a couple months ago, after I’d sold my house. I cannot imagine having done either without him. I’ve moved 5 or 6 times over the past couple years, and it’s always extremely stressful, overwhelming, and time-consuming - except for the occasions I’ve had the good fortune to work with Jeff. I cannot stress enough how much easier he made my life. Best of all, Jeff is such a pleasure to work with - always with such an upbeat, optimistic, no-pressure attitude.

During my first move, Jeff helped me pack up an entire house worth of stuff in just three efficient sessions. Before he came over, I was extremely overwhelmed with how much I had to do. I was stressed not only with the move, which was somewhat sudden, but also with a difficult family situation. With his incredibly efficient help, we were able to pack up all my things and sort them into what would be staying in storage and what would come with me to Europe. He helped me with all the details, including finding an economical shipment company, shipping my boxes for me, and taking things for donation or disposal.

The second time I worked with Jeff, I was no less stressed - I had just sold my house and had just a few weeks to get rid of all my furniture and the remaining things in my home. I’d initially tried selling things on my own through Kjiji and other websites, with little luck. Running out of time - and while I was out of the country! - Jeff organized the sale of all my furniture in one week. To my great relief, I came back to an empty house. As with the first time, Jeff also happily helped with all the little details, from coordinating a cleaning service to helping me move boxes to storage to disposing of little items. With very little time on my hands, Jeff’s coordination and help were invaluable.

Thank you, Jeff and the entire Simply Home Downsizing team! Hugely recommended.

Decluttering, Sorting and Donating

We called on Simply Home Downsizing to re-organize our very full storage locker. They helped us declutter, sort, and donate items we no longer needed. We can now walk in and quickly access the items we need. We have also recommended Jeff and Pauline to several of our valued clients. They are always quick to respond to us and our clients. They are extremely pleasant to deal with and very, very helpful. All of the feedback we have received from our clients are the same.
“Jeff and Pauline are very kind, patience and understanding and they couldn’t have done all the packing and moving without their service.”
Would highly recommend there service.
