Thank you, Lauren for your inspiring presence even over the phone.

I actually didn't end up working with Lauren, but had a wonderful experience. When I requested…read moreorganizational and decluttering assistance, she was extremely prompt in responding as well as hopping on a call to figure out logistics. After realizing my timeline and her schedule didn't match up, as well as noting that my project might require more than just her service, she ended up pointing me in the direction of multiple other organizers and movers that she recommends that would better suit my situation and deadline. It is extremely refreshing when professionals are willing to admit that their services might not be the right fit (mostly just due to timeline), but then also go above and beyond expectations by recommending what others might see as competitors but Lauren saw as colleagues in the business.

She's very patient and understanding, follows up with our session notes, checks is periodically when I need it, and helps me celebrate victories! Plus her enthusiasm makes it fun! So, I've had issues (to put it mildly) with paperwork and a super messy desk all my life. Papers get thrown on the desk (unopened mail, items to file, kids art...) to a point where it's not usable or piles of papers get left all around the house. I HATED dealing with both my desk and paperwork but Lisa has worked with me in virtual coaching sessions to not just go through those piles and de-clutter but to understand WHY I do this and how to break that cycle. A huge breakthrough we had was when I realized an "organizer" would just tell me what to do but Lisa as an organizer AND life coach helps me understand what my issues are and works with me to find processes that work for ME (not just some one size fits all approach). Lisa has been working with me for a little over a month and for the first time in decades, I can say that I am motivated and have a plan to move forward with what is no longer a hate relationship with my desk and papers. Thank you Lisa!!!!

He had to say goodbye to living in the only home he and my mother (who has passed), owned. Purchased in the early 1970s. Also the only physical location I knew as "home" growing up. Fast forward to present, a year later. The house still has not gone on the market due to life happening. With the birth of our first child, I found myself overwhelmed as I walked through my parents house. It was aging, and cluttered with 40+ years of memories and, well, clutter. Why all the backstory? Because anyone can come into a strangers home and throw things out, or donate them. But Linda came recommended for a reason. She walked into our home with a felt sense of honoring the memories that existed there. Everything she touched and inquired about was intentional, with purpose and respect. She engaged the memories with us and lent a firmly gentle hand on some items that were best to let go of, knowing it was hard to do so. The topper for me was how she engaged my father who wrestles with memory loss. She never responded to him with anything other that complete respect. As I drove dad from the house his response was: "She really is an outstanding woman, so professional, organized, and nice." I can not recommended Uncluttered and Linda enough. She made the overwhelming manageable.

She also tested weekly to ensure she was virus free. My energy has improved, my space feels welcoming and calm, and we completed several tasks I'd put off for years.

I called and was contacted by Jessika on Monday, April 14, 2025, and we talked about my situation, (she was very nice) so then made an appointment for that Thurs. in the morning for a 2 hour assessment ( April 17, 2025.) Then I had to change it to later that afternoon, so it was for 3PM. Then She had to change it again (she didn't realize she "couldn't work until 5,") but said she would call me back that day to reschedule. No callback so I called that afternoon and left a message re: what new appointment time she and I could work out. I called her three times the next day, Friday April 18, leaving messages, and was concerned something might have happened, since no one was calling me back. No word. Weird. Waited all weekend to reconnect. I called again the following Monday, April 21, 2025, left several messages, but never heard back. Huh--Ghosted!!! I guess I must be pretty awful somehow, no matter what they claim to be able to handle and do, and regardless of how nice she, herself, was on the phone. I am disappointed with their lack of professionalism, and, having no experience with their actual services I cannot recommend them.

Seniors in transition need help. Who is a senior in transition? The profile will be as unique as…read moreeach individual but some characteristics are common: 1) The person(s)' capacities are less than they were recently and may be rapidly declining and need a higher level of care; 2) They may or may not have family nearby or friends to help but even the most caring close family members likely have busy lives of their own and may live far away; 3) Family or friends usually do not have the breadth and depth of skills necessary to complete the process of transition in an efficient and stress relieving manner; 4)The senior(s) have accumulated a lot of "stuff" over decades and need expert advice and physical help to inventory, describe, market, sell if possible for the highest yield the "estate sale" market will give them and distribute the rest; 5) They need trustworthy experts of all categories to give them reliable advice and options enabling them to retain their freedom of choice and control that they have exercised all their lives; 6) The advisors and those who carry out the work must have a service first outlook and take the time to communicate with the senior(s) in transition. 10,000 people per day are turning 65 years old in the United States. The demand is intimidating and the number of help options limited. I have facilitated the sale of over 550 residential homes in my career, a large fraction of them either transition or estate sales. In recent years I turned my attention to research and interview service providers to help my transitioning senior clients with their needs. I gave my comparative research to transitioning senior clients which included Blue Nest Home and in every case they understood the comprehensive value that Blue Nest provides and chose them first. My clients that did so and I are glad that they did. Sheila Perrault and her dedicated associates performed brilliantly. Blue Nest always attempts to inform their clients about the true probability of what can be sold for what yield and the cost of disposing of the rest and leaving the premises in deep clean condition. They involve all family members in the discussion even if they are far away. Their team and others they work with are experts in this specialized service. They present their menu of service options as a la carte leaving the transitioning senior(s) and their trusted advisors free to choose what they need in their opinion. Their comprehensive menu relieves stress for the transitioning senior, perhaps the most important benefit of all for someone who has diminished capacities. Sheila and everyone involved are caring, compassionate people. You can trust them. Blue Nest Home is my first choice to provide these critical services.

I'm leaving this review because my experience with this estate sale/auction company was stressful,…read moreunnecessarily complicated, and ultimately cost us money. My husband and I won nearly $500 worth of items in their Bainbridge Island auction. We live on Camano Island, so pickup required a ferry trip and significant travel time. The night before pickup, we noticed fraudulent activity on our bank account and our bank froze our cards. On the way to pickup, we contacted the company to explain that we would pay in cash. We were told they do not accept cash (or any payment) at the pickup site and were instructed to go to Walmart, buy a gift card, and use it to pay online before we could receive our items. This was odd, but we did it, which delayed us. After payment, we called again to confirm and to say we would be late. We were told it was fine and they would wait. While waiting for the ferry, we called once more to keep them updated. At that point they asked us to come the next morning at 9:00 a.m. instead, which we agreed to. The next morning we arrived early, but the ferry filled up and we had to wait for the next sailing. We immediately contacted the company, apologized, and explained we would arrive about 20 minutes after 9:00. During the ferry ride we received a text saying we had 90 minutes to remove our items. When we arrived, the person on site repeatedly emphasized the 90-minute limit and was rude from the start. Our items were spread throughout a three-story house, and access was only through the garage, so we were running up and down stairs and working as fast as we physically could. As the 90 minutes approached, he repeatedly demanded we choose items to "leave behind," even though we were actively moving everything out and had no intention of abandoning anything we paid for. As such we attempted to remove what we could from inside the house and placed those items next to our car to load. When the 90 minutes ended, he told us we could not take any more of our purchased items and forced us to leave items behind, even the items that we had removed but were not "in our car". He began taking those items we had already carried downstairs and were loading into our car and carried them back into the house. He also ripped a box out of my husband's hands as he was placing it in our trunk. A neighbor, who witnessed what was happening, kindly offered to let us park in his driveway so we could finish packing quickly without blocking anything. The company representative then told us we could not go to the neighbor's driveway and threatened to call the police--then actually did. When the police arrived, the neighbor confirmed we had permission to be there, and the officers told us (correctly) that this was a civil issue to work out with the company, not a police matter. Once we got home and accounted for what we were allowed to take versus what we were forced to leave, we calculated that about $180 worth of items we paid for were kept from us. To make matters worse, many of the items we did receive were not as described and/or not working. I understand "as-is" policies and that estate sales operate on tight schedules, but the way this was handled was hostile and unreasonable--especially given that we were present, working quickly, and communicating throughout the entire process. Over the past 10+ years we have worked with hundreds of estate and auction sellers and have never had an experience as disturbing as this. I strongly recommend that anyone considering bidding with this company read their contract carefully and understand that they may enforce it in a way that benefits them rather than trying to find a reasonable solution. Also worth noting: they have a physical store, so items they deem "abandoned" may simply be resold.
