Testimonials

My move from a 3500 square foot residence to a 1325 square foot space was truly a challenge that was made possible and bearable because of the Downsizing by Design staff. I recommend their services without hesitation. Moving and downsizing is costly and emotionally draining. But the added service cost I incurred by hiring DBD was well worth the price.

“I highly recommend Downsizing by Design to anyone needing some help with organizing their living space. Their staff is knowledgeable and efficient, performing their duties with kindness and compassion. They were immensely helpful in navigating the issues surrounding the downsizing of my elderly parents’ apartment. Thank you, Downsizing by Design, for making such a big task easier for our family!”

“We used Downsizing by Design to unpack my mom’s belongings when she recently moved. The crew was amazing! The work was incredible, and it was great that my mom was settled into her new place on Day 1. Their cheerful demeanor and unflappable attitude were welcomed during a stressful time. Thanks again, ladies. I’d give them 10 stars if I could.“
V. Snow

“I recently moved across town and downsized from a home to an Active Adult Community. I knew I needed help with planning, packing, and unpacking and could not tackle all of this on my own.
Almost the best part, they unpacked all the boxes the day after the move and put everything away where it belonged. Then they took all the boxes with them when they left. (The best part! 😀)
My sister and brother-in-law made plans to visit on the day after the move to help me with unpacking and any final details, and we ended up at the pool instead.
What a pleasant way to move. I would highly recommend Downsizing by Design and their team of people who know how to best do this. Thanks to all the team members who helped me — Charlea, Laura, Tina, Eileen & Katie — you did a great job.”

‘I was in such a state and found the staff’s confidence and capabilities very reassuring. I especially benefitted from their organizational skills and appreciated that they had a ‘good eye’ for placement of accessories. When the team left, all was move-in ready. I loved it!!!

They are a great mix of efficiency and caring. They really spent the time to make sure my Mom’s needs were met and that the job got done on time. Their experience and knowledge of other people and resources to use during the time was very helpful. Pat and her employees are a delight to work with! I couldn’t imagine doing this without them.”

“I can’t thank you enough for the amazing services you provided in downsizing and moving my mom into assisted living. So many years of accumulation were packed into her home, and the Downsizing by Design team moved through all of that so quickly and efficiently, yet with care and sensitivity for all her possessions. You could see the delight in her eyes when we brought her into her new apartment for the first time. We could not have done this without you and your team. Thank you for being there to help us during this difficult time of transition.

“Downsizing by Design helped me tackle the 50-year accumulation of ‘stuff,’ as well as the packing and unpacking for my move. Moving day began and ended without a significant problem. My new home was livable and comfortable the very first night. I was referred to Downsizing by Design and became convinced that with their leadership I could do this, and we did.”
