Downsizing and Moving Our Seniors
There comes a day when most seniors have to downsize their homes to cut costs, be closer to family, or take care of their medical needs. Whether you’re making the move to a smaller house, condo, senior living or a nursing community—our home downsizing services make sure your move is a positive, stress-free transition, every step of the way.
From prepping your home for the market, to moving and getting you settled into your new place—we can take care of as much or as little of the downsizing process as you’d like. You have a lifetime of memories in your home and we understand that can be overwhelming, but creating a simpler life, with less clutter, is fresh and exciting!
+ Declutter To Downsize
Decluttering your belongings is the first step to downsizing your home! What exactly should one keep or let go of when decluttering to downsize? We don't want you to end up paying extra for storage or moving costs for items you no longer love, want, or need.
+ Pre-sale Home Prep
We work with you and the realtor to prepare your home for the real estate market.
We help determine the services you need to get your home successfully on the market, and we'll get you the right people for the job. You may need painters, or help touching up any scuff marks on the walls or fixing any loose handles, perhaps a professional cleaning service to come in and freshen the place up before showings.
Once the conditions of the home are ready according to industry standards, it's time for the fun part... staging the home for showings!
Dynamic Downsizers has a team of professional interior decorators, we'll evaluate the current home's look and feel to decide whether we would like to buy or rent some items, or just reorganize the belongings you have in a new way that will drum up interest from potential buyers.
+ Pick & Pack Your Belongings
We study your floor plans and help you pick the belongings you can bring to your new home, so there's no second guessing on what will or won't fit comfortably in your new space!
Then, we will pack your possessions and label your boxes for you. On moving day, your boxes will be ready for the movers to grab and go!
+ Your Moving Day
Now that you've downsized your belongings, how are you going to make the move? Do you have family that can help you load and unload a truck, or do you require a full-service moving company to help?
There are plenty of options, and as your move managers we will coordinate all the logistics from hiring and scheduling movers, elevator bookings, mobile storage unit arrangements, and anything else you need to make sure your downsizing process goes according to plan! And, don't worry, we'll be there the day of your move to see that your belongings remain organized and arrive to your new place safely.
+ Unpack & Personalize Your Home
On the day of your move, our team will unpack your belongings, and personalize your new place by the end of your moving day! We make your bed, stack your dishes in reach, and thoughtfully display your art and decor.
We will welcome you home to your next joyful chapter, ready to begin.
+ Estate Clearing
It's a difficult task to clear a loved one's estate. You can count on our compassionate team to work with you and your family members. We will sort and organize the belongings and take care of the items that can be sold, re-purposed, donated, and disposed for you.
We also don't mind packing the items and facilitating delivering any of the memories to the respective beneficiaries. Spend the well-needed time with your family, while we take care of the rest.

We'll walk through your home with you to determine the course of action and time required to complete your project. We’re happy to manage your project from start to finish, or work within your budget.“Dynamic Downsizers made it easy to downsize from a 4 bedroom house to a 1 bedroom condo. I had 25 years of stuff, treasures and junk, and they moved, repurposed, consigned and designed a beautiful smaller home for my daughters and I to live. They worked out a plan with me and communicated to their consignment and moving contacts and even the new buyers on my behalf. No job is too small or too big for them. I was overwhelmed with sorting and letting go of things and Leanne and Rosemary were understanding and sensitive and could visualize the new space and scale and recommended what to take. Once they moved us, the final product was a stunning home filled with our favourite things, showcased with new design elements, perfect for us and all set-up on the same day! The scope of their abilities is far-reaching, from project management to categorizing all your belongings to directing your move out. They are always perceptive and considerate and focused on the best for you in your move. They took the stress out of moving all the while listening to what we wanted and meeting those needs in our next place.”

“Moving is overwhelming. Thank you Leanne and Lena and all your team for taking such good care of me. What would I have done without you. From the pre-packing to the decluttering to the staging to the taking care of the moving logistics and the post unpacking. On moving day I felt I had a lot of good friends helping me to ensure everything was put in its place and at day's end, pictures were hung, garbage was gone and my bed was made. Effortlessly and joyfully you made my moving day happen! Thank you again Ladies. You are a 10 in my books and I know I can always count on your help.”

“Thank you Dynamic Downsizers for your passion and commitment to servicing our client with her move, she couldn’t of done it without your help, it was less stressful for her to make this move and now is already settled in and enjoying her next chapter in her life.”

“It gives me great pleasure to relay my experiences with Dynamic Downsizers. In July of this year I bought a new home and then began the daunting task of getting my current home ready for sale. I planned to interview several companies but after meeting the ladies from DD, I decided to go with them. They immediately got the ball rolling helped me declutter and get the house ready for sale. The Real Estate company also hired them to stage the home and very quickly it was on the market. As I was getting ready to move I decided to hire them to set up the move and do the unpacking for me in my new home. When I’m asked “how was your move” my reply “the easiest move ever”. Although I hope to never move again, if I do I would definitely call Dynamic. Thank you ladies for all your help.”
