Testimonials

Our satisfied clients share their positive experiences, highlighting the exceptional service and results we provide.
About 18 weeks ago, our mom passed away and along with the overwhelming grief, moving my dad out of his house of 40 years to another state where we, his children live, felt insurmountable. I do think sometimes people are sent to us to help. Theresa and Amanda were patient, calm, and understanding even in the face of a lot of stuff and uncertainty. Hand in hand, they went through all of the house with us, sorting through dad and mom’s stuff with care and respect. They took from day 1 to an empty house ready for market. I highly recommend these extraordinary women, this company. In what has been a really hard time, Next Stage Senior Downsizing made our lives easier, helped us get dad to the next stage, and gave us a lot of faith in humanity. Highly recommend.

Theresa Shane and her partner Amanda did an amazing job assisting my Mom organizing and making my mom comfortable moving to a new home. We couldn’t have asked for more!

Theresa and Amanda did a fantastic job helping my mom get her home ready to be put on the market.
This was a tough step for my 93 year old mother and they treated her with kindness and respect throughout the entire process. Mom loved them both!
There was a lifetime of “treasures” to get through and it was amazing what they were able to accomplish in just a few short weeks. From the first day of sorting, all the way through the Estate sale and clearing the home for listing, they were focused and
Professional.
Thank you Theresa and Amanda! You did in a few short weeks what would have taken me months!
I highly recommend Theresa and Next Stage Senior Downsizing! It’s the best decision I could have made!

I have attended many of their sales and always walked away with great items at good and fair prices. I am impressed by their knowledge of items and the pricing and organization of the sales. I am a senior and when the time comes, I plan on using them.

This is a review I posted last year..have been at more sales since and this review is still true!

Teresa was amazing- helped me “let go” of so much stuff. I couldn’t take it ALL with me and she helped me discern what to keep, what to give away and what to sell. No regrets!
Response from the owner 03:46 17 Jan 24
Thank you Marian for your kind words. We are so thankful we could help you downsize.

Not a senior!! Yet!! Needed to downsize after my husband passed.. I was so overwhelmed and the team was very compassionate and worked with me. They put in a lot of time and had a great turnout. Best thing I ever did to move to the next stage in my life. Thank you to all you did.

They did an excellent job with my father's estate sale. I would recommend them for anyone who had to clean out a house to move or if you have lost a loved one and need to sell their house.
