Finding Downsizeology on Yelp was a blessing! A dear relative passed away and my job was to clean…read moreup her double wide trailer...which turned out to be *packed* with stuff. I hired Andy, the business owner, and one helper to work with me sorting through the home, separating trash, donations and items with potential value. His expertise made this overwhelming job go much smoother than expected. Andy holds special qualifications in jewelry and antique appraisal that eliminated a lot of guesswork. He also gave quick, objective, accurate assessments of a whole houseful of odd items like crystal, flatware, china, art, jewelry, furniture and collectables. Downsizeology is not cheap, but they're worth every penny and delivered great value for the money I spent. Note that they are licensed, insured and bonded for a whole range of services including turn-key clean out of homes, buying entire estates and moving services, as well as the strategic evaluation they did with me.

My MIL was an "enthusiastic collector" of lots of useless stuff which resulted in a daunting clean-out task. Andy arranged to meet us the day after we contacted him and a week after that the entire apartment was cleaned out and left spotlessly clean. Andy is meticulous about spotting items of value amongst a sea of worthless clutter and provided us a credit on his fees for these items. The company philosophy is to donate and/or recycle as much of the remaining items as possible thereby minimizing what ends up in the landfill. We totally recommend Downsizeology for your down-sizing or home clean-out needs. They are worth every penny of the fees they charge.

Claudia has a great reputation and a large and loyal following. Her group scoured through my uncle's possessions and found and sold things that would never have occurred to me to have much value. They advertised and sold at top prices. (They did not take the easy way out and just sell things at a discount to second-hand sellers.) Claudia was professional, kept me informed, returned all my calls and messages promptly, was a joy to work with and, most importantly, was completely honest and trustworthy. I know from shopping around that you could do a lot worse. I would be shocked if you could do any better than Claudia Deming.
