Staging

Rosalind was very warm in her approach when staging our home for selling purposes. She has a keen sense of in style taste. We had our home sold within 30 days! Simply Home Downsizing is an amazing company with exceptional service! I highly recommend them.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review, Monika. Selling your home after just having a baby is not an easy thing to do and you were all so gracious and accommodating. It was truly a pleasure working with all of you!

Exceptional Service and Assistance

Pauline Duhart and Jeff Orr assisted with Estate clearing, renovations and staging. The service provided was truly exceptional. Estate clearing efforts were seamless, and very well coordinated. Concerning renovations, the estate home was a disaster. They essentially acted as general contractors, sourcing and providing a full range of contractors (sanding and refinishing floors, replacing carpets, painting the entire house, landscaping, handyman repairs, high end cleaning, purchasing and replacing fixtures, receptacles, vent covers, etc.). Multiple estimates were provided for contractors, and prices were highly competitive. The finished product was staged (included in the fee), and sold 12 days after listing. They took a literal "disaster" and turned it into a gem! Our broker suggested that the reno added over $100,000 to the value of the house (for a fraction of that cost). They also dealt tactfully and professionally with the many family members and acquaintances of the deceased. This was unexpected, and very welcome.
I'm thinking I'll use their services if I ever sell my own home. They were that good.

Packing , unpacking and organization

I cannot express the extent of my thanks for Simply Home Downsizing - Rosaland and her team were incredible. Moving is stressful at best. I am a busy professional and didn't know where to begin when planning a move that was suddenly scheduled for 6 weeks prior to the original date! Yikes....I sent out the bat signal, and Simply Home Downsizing came to the rescue.

The crew was organized, professional, neat and smart - my items were packed and unpacked with great care. Rosaland and her team were likely the only positive part of the entire moving experience.

If you are looking for a reliable, down-to-earth and smart company, rely on Simply Home Downsizing!

Home Staging

We hired Rosalind and her team to stage our townhouse for sale. I have done my own staging for previous home sales but this time I'm very glad that I chose to go with Simply Home Downsizing instead.

The entire experience has been very pleasant from the start. Rosalind always responded to my emails and phone calls quickly, and she understood the demographics in my neighbourhood and designed the space accordingly. Her team was friendly and professional. Always on time and always calm - which was wonderful during a normally stressful time for homeowners.

The end result was amazing, we got positive comments from everyone who came to view the place.

I highly recommend Simply Home Downsizing for anyone who's looking to stage and sell their home.

Moving

Jeff and his crew helped me twice, once to pack up the house and prepare for the "Staging" then to actually pack up the remainder of the house for the move. Their calm efficiency turned what could have been an extremely stressful time for me, into a well organized experience. Jeff took care of everything, and always with a smile and good humour. If I needed more boxes, they were dropped off. If family heirlooms needed attention they got it. If donations or garbage needed to be taken of they were. I highly recommend Simply Home and wouldn't think twice about calling on their services to help me again.

Saved me during a crisis

Pauline was recommended to me by my realtor after selling my home and during a divorce, one of the most difficult transitions of my life. I needed to downsize my life into a small storage unit so that I could travel and decide where to rebuild my life. In walks Pauline who took the reigns, organized all of my home content into manageable parts. She spent an entire day with me and for that day she was like an old friend and surrogate husband. I know this service is most used for seniors wanting to downsize their homes but I would highly recommend it for any woman getting divorced who needs an assistant to get through it. There was so much STUFF I had accumulated over the years sharing a home with my ex. When faced with divorce one does not have much energy to list a power sander on Craigslist. Pauline made everything simple, manageable and had good strategies for deciding what to keep and what to sell or dispose of. We shared many laughs and I will always be grateful for her tremendous help and support in my journey towards a simpler, happier life.

helping us to pack and move for a real estate sale

Basement downsize

Girls were efficient with time and helpful with suggesting new ways to organize my stuff in the space available. They were courteous and neat both in appear and in the manner in which they arranged and sorted items needing removal to dump recycling and donated items
