Ann McMann-Kotze

I cannot say enough good things about Downsizing By Design! From start to finish they were thorough, clear, friendly, understanding and I am quite sure my downsizing move went extremely well mostly because of them! As I described their services to friends and family and showed them photos of their work everyone was very surprised in the best way! In addition to their outstanding service and work they were kind and nice people who dealt with me and my tears of both sadness and joy. (I am indeed a champion cryer!) Please, please if you are considering a downsizing project reach out to them for their consultation and guidance!

We recently used Downsizing by Design to help move a friend from a place they lived for over 30 years to a one bedroom apartment. Downsizing by Design could not of been better. From the first time we talked they have been spot on. From communication, setting up people and outside companies (movers etc.) to follow thru. They were always available if we needed anything and got things done in a timely manner. I can't say enough about this company, high recommend - 5 stars for sure. You won't be disappointed. Would use them every time. Best of luck to this company and thanks so much. Sarah

Downsizing by Design has been a great resource to many of our clients over the years. Recently we had the privilege of their assistance with another client transitioning from their long term home. The communication was excellent and their compassion and care for the details was wonderful. We appreciated the floor plan design for the new apartment to know what would fit well. They helped secure great movers and packed up the home organizing the items while doing this. When moving into the supportive care facility, DBD made sure necessities were ready for the first night including labeling the cabinets and drawers so it would be easy to find the items. DBD is a great team and we are grateful for their care for our clients!

Roberta Early

My move to Monarch Landing was made a “dream move” because of the help and skill of ladies from Downsizing by design. They were efficient and helpful in every step of the move from packing, unpacking, labeling where they put things and worked as a team until then job was finished! I would absolutely recommend this company with a move. They are unbelievably good at moving!!

My move and attempted house moves was quite the journey. A crazy market, contracts falling thru, a wife falling seriously ill, all created many missed move dates over a 4 month period. If it were not for Downsize by Design I’d have thrown in the towel. They approach the job very professionally and once started they are almost extended family. ….caring, empathetic, honest, and hard working. They worked with me every step of the way, as closing dates came and left DBD stuck with us and somehow worked their magic despite all the date changes. From top to bottom….you'd be hard pressed to find a more caring professional group of people. They are a marketing dream. But more so they are a home seller’s must. By all means, if selling talk to these folks. They truly ease the pain. And by the end of the process you want to add them all to your Christmas Card list.
