What our clients are saying

 
Our basement was so full I thought it would sink into the ground and take the entire house with it! We felt powerless and embarrassed. However, a long awaited remodeling project pushed us to find a solution and we were lucky enough to find you. Dina, we NEVER could have done this without you! We took you into our basement of shame and with your energy, drive, and wit you created order out of chaos... Another benefit of working with you was we got rid of the right things. In the past, I sometimes gave away things because they were easy, leaving me with regrets. But with your guidance, we kept what was important to us. We have no regrets. When I used to get an instant headache going down there, I now go down with a smile, because for the first time, I know I can find what I am looking for! We have changed our habits, are still married, and know hiring you was one of the best decisions we have ever made. I keep saying, you are worth your weight in gold!!
We thank you daily!

Thank you for your good judgment, patience, and kindness. You are taking a huge burden off my mind, maybe off my soul.

Dina helped an elderly friend of mine at a very important time in her life...She took care of the process that resulted in a successful estate sale and the sale of my friend’s home. Her ability to listen and her patient manner enabled my friend to feel confident her belongings were well taken care of. I recommend Downsize With Dignity to anyone approaching this sort of life transition.

I have been working with Dina sorting out items from my family heirlooms that have been sitting in my basement for the last 10 years. I was unable to even open any of the boxes until I finally called Downsize With Dignity on a referral from a friend. As painful and emotionally charged as this has been to bring up all the old memories, the blessing in it has been to bring all the great memories back to life, and with the help of coaching from Dina, create a consolidated version of them to pass on…My mom saved a lot of things, and Dina has patiently helped me move through each and every article with grace and dignity. I must also mention the help I received sending an e-mail to my 5 siblings to include them in decision making about the things I believe belong to all of us. There is still work to do, and hopefully, passing along this experience will help whoever needs to get started with this work by encouraging them to get help from a great company.

Dina did an awesome job — got the ball rolling when we were stuck because there was so much to do after 30 years of living in one place. She helped find places that would take items for consignment. She helped pack and organize items and furniture for pick up by movers to distribute to family, storage unit, and for donation. She helped with good suggestions, phone calls, and even helped box up items and label what was going where. Some of this was just having someone to talk to and avoiding getting bogged down in “stuff” and personal emotion. We got the job done!! Thank you Dina of Downsize with Dignity!

Dina came to my home and together we went room to room. She helped me figure out what to get rid of and what to keep. She was indispensable in organizing the best place for each item to go. It went fantastically well. I felt so good about how smoothly the whole move went, and Dina was a big part of it. She showed me places to donate that I never would have known about, and she was able to get me money back for items that I wouldn’t have known about either. Moving is a very chaotic and stressful time, and Dina’s calm, practical, rationale way of working made the whole experience go SO much smoother than it otherwise would have. I can’t say enough good things about Dina.

Dina helped me get organized for what needed to be done to get my mom’s condo ready to sell. She looked at what furniture could be sold and donated. She advised me on resources for finding a painter, realtor, and for having my mom’s clothes sold on consignment. She helped me create a master list. All at a very reasonable cost.

Dina went the extra mile. She is extremely professional, prompt, and courteous. She has resources, knowledge, and expertise. She will conduct research and find people to recommend. Once I told her what I needed, she immediately began to e-mail referrals and information. She is very responsive, helpful, and very empathetic. This is a very difficult chore, and she helped me break tasks down into manageable tasks and deadlines. I would definitely recommend her. She is truly amazing and has a great personality and excellent interpersonal communication skills as well.

“Dina delivered as described: she downsized my mom’s home with dignity. She is meticulous with her work and was able to help me sift through my mom’s entire house filled with belongings and pack everything I cared about while working with me remotely (I live out of state). She went the extra mile by letting me know what she thought was worth selling, researched some collectible items, and even made me $100 by finding a seller for a single book.

 Dina got the job done on a quick timeline. She’s reliable, trustworthy and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend her!”

— Noemi Z.

“We live out of state and could only spend 2 weeks with Dina in my mother’s home…Dina started the downsizing process while we were gone (packing, donating, recycling, trash)…She was invaluable -- prompt, efficient, and very capable of working in tandem with our estate sale person, charity volunteers, and my mother’s “village” in preparing the house for an estate sale and house sale. When we returned home, Dina…kept us updated regularly with her tasks and photos when she needed our input. We recommend Dina with full confidence, and we are grateful for all she has done during a very challenging time.”
— Robin and Alvin F.

”We weren't sure how to deal with some items in our mother's condo, and Dina gave us helpful information. She even contacted a consignment store owner, took the items to that person, and returned the items the owner could not sell. Dina went above and beyond by doing all this and it shows her commitment to really helping her clients.”
