Helping with life’s transitions

Moving home can be a stressful time. It also presents an opportunity to refocus on the future and let go of some of the items you no longer need in your life.

The team at DownSize.co.nz provide the assistance and support you need at every step of the way - helping you make a positive transition to your new home.

The DownSize team can help you to clear out and dispose of unwanted possessions, arrange to get your home and garden tidied up and ready for sale and, if needed, can assist you with the move itself. We provide an extra pair of hands wherever they’re needed most.

Decluttering

Over the years everyone accumulates possessions. So, whether you are planning to move home, just wanting to reclaim the garage or clear out your spare room, DownSize.co.nz is here to help.

Our experienced team can work with you to complete a stocktake within each space. This makes it simpler for you and your loved ones to decide which items you no longer need or have room for in your life. Or you may simply need a hand removing items you’ve already decided you don’t need any more.

Once you have decided which items you intend to keep, we can help you decide what to do with items you don’t need. The DownSize team can then assist you to gift, sell, store or otherwise dispose of the items you no longer need and arrange all the logistics for you.
Even if you are not moving to a smaller home, decluttering your place can often help you focus on the more important things in your life.

Preparing your home for sale

Before listing your home for sale, you may want a hand to present it in a way that maximises buyer interest market value.

Whether your home’s paint-job needs a spruce-up, the garden could do with a tidy or you just want somebody to give it a good spring clean, the DownSize team can help you to have the work completed in a timely manner.

Using local knowledge, our team can arrange quotes from suitable tradespeople and, if required, project manage their work and ensure the job is completed to your satisfaction. And if your home requires ‘dressing’ or ongoing maintenance while it is on the market, the DownSize team can assist.

We can also help with related services such as arranging for an independent valuation and assisting with estate agent appointments or other services as required.
