Hi B&M,
Thank you for the awesome review of our decluttering and packing services! The two of you are very smart to get started with the decluttering process well before putting your house on the market. You won't regret getting started early. Best of luck with the next phase of your project. Kindest regards from the entire Simply Home Downsizing Team!

Organizing, Packing & Donation Distribution-Estate Clearing

Pauline was so pleasant and easy to deal with - so helpful, professional, efficient and honest! We were very happy to find such a great person/company to help us clear a relative's large apartment in Ajax Ontario. We are located in Ottawa and the service provided by Pauline and the crew from Simply Home Downsizing saved us from traveling in winter and trying to do all this work ourselves, which frankly, we probably couldn't have done as well. We love that the items were donated and will live another life in someone else's home. Thank you Pauline and the Simply Home Downsizing team!

Downsizing & Estate Sale - great service!

After Mom passed away, we struggled to find the time and the energy to go through sixty years worth of accumulated memories in the house. Simply Home was able to make more progress in one day than we had been able to make in months. Rosalind and Pauline have been a great support, and Amy and the team were wonderful to deal with as well. I would absolutely recommend Simply Home .

Hi "S", Thank you for the sincere and kind review and for the recommendation. We understand it was difficult to make decisions on all of your Mom's items but we were happy to be able to organize and oversee the MaxSold auction in order to clear out the majority of the items in her home. We wish you and your family all the best. - The Simply Home Downsizing Team

Decluttering and downsizing

I used this company for five days to help me declutter, pack and prepare for a downsizing move. Mary brought great energy to the project and she was able to keep me on track, where I found it easy to get discouraged and slowed by the emotion of parting with certain things. I would never have made the moving deadline without her wonderful help.

I highly recommend this company!

Simplifies is a WONDERFUL company

I had this company Simply Home Downsizing first declutter my condo. Then they packed up what was to be moved to a storage unit to allow for staging.
Then this company staged my condo.
After it sold!
They moved the boxes from the storage unit back to my condo
They then packed me up and moved me
Then unpacked me and by the time they left I only had boxes of photos to deal with.
They hired professional movers and packers
They were hard working and fun
My move was stress free and actually fun!

Moving/disposal/downsizing service

Pauline from Simply Home has been real pleasure to deal with. I have worked with Simply Home previously and have been referring them to my clients. They recently helped me with clearing out furniture and various items of my parents home (I moved them into an assisted living facility) which helped me greatly as I was feeling overwhelmed and stressed from the situation.
Paula is very mindful, accommodating and courteous and her crew of movers were really nice, very efficient and made the process very easy.
I cant thank them enough and I highly recommend their services.

Digging in… and digging out!

Simply Home was terrific to work with. Their team was considerate, thorough and efficient. They were able to coordinate a 2 stage packing, moving and disposal for us; all ran smoothly. I would hire them again in a heartbeat.

Downsizing

After 50 plus years of collecting books plus many items inherited from family, my space was very cluttered, and I left it too late to be able to manage it myself. I cant say enough good things about this company, from the time of the free estimate to the removal of goods for donation, the process was smooth and painless. The two women who did the sorting and packing were fast and efficient, and at the same time they were unobtrusive, which I, as an introvert, greatly appreciated. The two young men who did the pickup were also fast and efficient, and everyone I dealt with was friendly and kind. I highly recommend them!

Help Clearing Out A Home and Packing for Storage/Moving

We called Simply Home Downsizing based on the reviews left by other home owners here and on Google compared to other companies that offered decluttering services. After our initial in person consultation with Pauline, she provided us with a detailed estimate on help to declutter our childhood home that had over 4 decades of accumulated stuff, including belongings from our parents both of whom had passed on years ago. We decided to go with Simply Downsizing as the quote was fair given the volume of stuff we needed to have taken away.

Pauline and Amy led the team. They methodically and systematically organized stuff we wanted to keep in boxes that were clearly labelled to be taken into storage. Everything else was taken away for donation or disposal. Two truckloads later and the house was pretty much emptied after just 4 days. That's right 4 days!! They even came back to pick up a couple of items that didn't make on the truck for disposal a week later.

We don't have photos to share but will say this: Pauline delivered on helping us to clear out a home in getting it ready for sale. They did everything we asked and yes, literally put anything of value that they found aside for us including some valuables we didn't know were tucked away in an unlikely place. We had lots of old appliances, electronics, and furniture from 3 bedrooms, 2 living rooms, kitchen, garage, and basement to clear out. So yes, it was a bit expensive but worth every penny.

A big shout out to Amy as well for her help in leading the crew each day, particularly on the last day when the heat was sweltering.

In short, Simply Home helped us to take a huge step towards moving on from our childhood home. My brother and I are forever grateful as it took away all the stress and lot of emotion out of letting go of accumulated stuff.

We highly recommend calling Pauline at Simply Home if you need help like we did.
