Justine is very helpful, thorough and 'gentle' helping my clients remove the clutter from their homes to prepare for their move and selling their home. She writes her report and includes pictures so there is NO doubt of what has to be done to bring the property its optimal condition. AND she provides the report promptly at a very reasonable cost.
Bryan BarnesSotheby's International Realty Canada I can't recommend Justine's services highly enough! She assisted an elderly friend in decluttering and downsizing her home of 48 years. It was a daunting task, but Justine's kind, professional manner made it so manageable. She facilitated connections with the moving company and retirement home, making the move seamless. Thank you for all your support, Justine!
Celia WebsterClient Justine is fabulous at what she does! I work at a local retirement home and she has helped several of the residents move in, move out or help them transfer between suites. Working efficiently but always with compassion. It can be very stressful leaving the home that you may have lived in for 60+years. Justine definitely makes that a lot less stressful for you. I would not hesitate to recommend Justine to anyone who needs a lot of help or a little help!
Abigail BeveridgeParkland Lifestyle Consultant I have always been a “do it yourself “ kind of person but when my father passed I needed help with his retirement suite and needed to do it quickly. I was out of province at the time and I am so glad I found Just Downsize. Justine worked directly with the home and the moving company and found me a great storage facility at a good price. From my first phone chat I was confident that all details would be taken care of—and she exceeded expectations. I would highly recommend her services!
Tracy ParzychClient Just Downsize has helped me stage and declutter quite a few of my seller's homes. They were great! Very professional and easy to work with. I would not hesitate to recommend them for downsizing, decluttering, organizing and staging.
Sharon McGuiganBroker, Royal Lepage R. E. Services Ltd Justine clearly came to us with a plan to consolidate 57 years of accumulation in a 3300 sq. ft. house to move in to a 1250 sq. ft. rental condo. She insured we made the tough choices of what has to move and what will be left for further disposal. Assisting us in the move and then helping us contact organizations for the balance was invaluable. She was a delight to work with and was a valuable and knowledgeable resource in all phases of the move. Thank you Justine.
Lawrence ParkerClient, Parkland Resident I am not a big fan of staging but once I met Justine and she helped me with sellers and getting their homes ready for the market, I saw the impact of how staging a home can help sell it. I would recommend Justine to other realtors in helping them with their listings.
Sandy HolyoakSales Representative, Sotheby's International Reality Justine at Just Downsize makes magic happen! She is professional and arrives with everything she needs to transform your space. Thanks to the purging, downsizing and organizing I did with Justine I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I feel like I'm in control of my life again. I highly recommend Just Downsize
Sue CummingClient Just Downsize was amazing. I sold my business and needed to dispose of 48 years of accumulated stuff and clear out of the office I was renting. She prepared a detailed list with expected values and organized an auction through a third party service. My office was cleared out on time and on budget. Amazing service! Thanks Just Downsize!
Daniel CPresident Thanks Justine for organizing my mom's photos it was such a big job. She is thrilled to have all her photos in one place and out of several boxes.
Catherine W.Client I used Justine for help with organizing my garage- which was in chaos.
It went from disaster to delightful by the time we were done. We had two cars full of donations plus a truck to haul to the dump.
I cannot recommend her enough for help with getting organized. She is judgement free and easy to work with.
Don’t put off de cluttering- just get Justine to help.
Kayla D.Client "I had years of family photos in various boxes and boxes and boxes and boxes. Justine organized it all! Now all my photos of my boys growing up are in order and in cute boxes that I can look through with that smile and ache we all get looking at our kids as babies and toddlers. Thank you Justine!! I literally could not have done this without you!"
Tammie J.Client "Being responsible for the sale of a loved ones home can be very overwhelming. You have to sort through all their personal belongings and make decisions regarding each and every item.
Justine was able to organize this laborious process. This included sorting like items together, offering donation solutions, organizing the sale of items and organizing treasured photos.
Thank you so much Justine! You were an invaluable resource during a very difficult time in our lives. Your calm and organization made a very emotional process - doable.
Rosemary C.Client "I hired Justine to help me with a cluttered and messy downstairs room that felt like an overwhelming task to tackle.
I had an idea of what I wanted and Justine put it to action. With understanding and patience she helped me figure out what was really important to keep and helped me to get rid of those things that I 'thought' I needed to keep!
In just over two hours the room was transformed. She is organized, has great ideas, and is a pleasure to work with. I didn't think twice about hiring Justine a month later to clean out another room.
Next on the list is the daunting task of organizing my husband's office! I would HIGHLY recommend Justine. You won't be disappointed.
MarthaClient Working with Justine McVeigh from www.justdownsize.ca has been a revelation.
First of all I was not sure I was ready.
Justine suggested I have a vision of what I wanted for me, since I was now on my own, my partner of 36 years having died last December. It was a revelation, as for so long I only thought about what Michael needed. So we decided that the healthiest way to go forward was to clear the main bedroom of computer paraphernalia and boxes and lighten up that area. Then we tackled the ensuite bathroom, and then started to shift the 3rd bedroom into a work area that I could set up an office in.
So far, after 2 long and 1 short session we are on our way and I am doing my best between session to take control so this kind of clutter never happens again.
It just feels so good and Justine does all the heavy lifting and brings all the supplies and takes away garbage and donates and gets online things that should be put out to the community. It is just wonderful. We have a ways to go in this condo, but my first vision is manifesting thanks to Justine. I highly recommend working with her if you feel stuck and overwhelmed. She is a marvel.
I am feeler lighter and more healthy every session I have with Justine McVeigh from www.justdownsize.ca
