Testimonials

“After living in the same house for almost 50 years, it was difficult and overwhelming for my parents to sort through their household in preparation for move to an independent living apartment. With none of us kids living in the same city, we hired Downsize My Home to assist with this effort. The DMH professionals who worked with my mother were patient, sensitive to elder needs/wants, efficient and helpful in moving along the process with the appropriate level of pushing to sort, keep, donate and trash items. We could not have accomplished this move without their help. They took great care in packing the items for the move from one city to another and coordinated movers on both ends of the move. We highly recommend this company to help with your downsizing needs!”

“My Mom, who is 92 used Downsize My Home to move into assisted living. She was moving from a place that she lived in for 20 years. All the. People that my Mom and I dealt with were very professional and very caring. They treated my Mom like she was a relative of their own. They made the move as seamless as possible, and treated all her property with care. Not a single item was damaged. I would highly recommend Downsize my Home to anyone. Again ALL the people were fantastic”

“First, I would give Downsize My Home 10 out of 5 stars!I can’t say enough wonderful things about Kim and her crew. Every person we worked with was compassionate, understanding, incredibly patient and fun. My mom moved into independent living and we had to downsize over 50 years of accumulated stuff. It seemed impossible to do and miraculously, it happened. Niki and Christine were the miracles.

On moving day one of my mom’s new neighbors took her aside and remarked on what wonderful women she had moving her in. I whole heatedly recommend using Downsize for My home for any move, but especially for help moving aging parents. They are the best!"

“We just completed moving my parents from their home of 30 years to an independent living community. Downsize My Home took care of, literally, everything. They coordinated every step of the process. Renee and Sarah very lovingly and patiently helped my parents decide what to take with them and what to leave behind. They packed up the house in 1 day and unpacked the next. They went to the new apartment to measure and help decide what furniture would fit in the new space and even used blue tape to map out the entire apartment so Mom could see exactly how everything would look. This process would have been a thousand times more exhausting and overwhelming if I had tried to do it myself and I am beyond grateful for the expertise and professionalism of everyone at Downsize My Home. I can't imagine doing this without them and highly recommend to anyone downsizing their home.”

“A truly fantastic group of women. Great pricing with even better staff that's so kind and helpful. I wish every estate sale I went to was run by them.”

Briana Sanders

“I needed help with a small move fast! I spoke with Kim, the owner, and she assured me they could act quickly. What I needed most was good communication because there were a lot of moving parts, and they delivered. The team was also very compassionate with my parents, who sadly didn’t fully understand what was happening. These are true professionals who really care about their customers. I will definitely call Kim again if the need arises…"

“We couldn't have done it without Kim's fabulous team. My husband and I moved from 2900 sq. ft. to 1200 sq. ft. Renee and Sara did everything from helping us decide what to take (and what not to) to moving us into our new home. We would definitely recommend Downsize Your Home.”

“After 52 years in her home in N.Y. State, my mother made the decision to move to Austin to be near me. I wish we had Kim and her team on THAT end! Anyway, once my mom actually got a moving truck loaded and had her things delivered to her new apt. in Austin, it was immediately apparent she had brought faaaar too much "stuff"! I had to rent her a garage, that was filled to the brim as well as her apt. It was overwhelming....to me!! After a couple of days of trying to get through some boxes with little success, I called Kim at Downsize My Home. She immediately met me at my mom's place and assessed the situation. She talked with my mom and developed an action plan. She sent a couple members of her team over to work with my mom, and they helped unpack boxes, hang pictures and put away some of her things, all while my mother was able to sit back and relax. My mother really enjoyed the girls who worked with her and Downsize My Home helped ME keep my sanity!! There is still much to be done, and we may be calling Kim and her team for help again! Thanks so much, Kim, for all you do!”

“Kim and her team were instrumental in making my Dad's move from Austin to Dallas a positive one. As everyone says, this can be a major disruptive event, sometimes even a traumatic one. The team's knowledge of the process, the step by step design of the process, and the execution of those steps were all awesome.

The team was very cheerful and pleasant to be around. They helped my father "decide" to leave some things behind as he moved from a 4,000 sq ft house to a two-bedroom apartment.

An example of the detailed service provided is that Kim got the layout of Dad's apartment along with dimensions, worked out sketches of where to place the furniture, and then reviewed it with Dad. Kim went above and beyond and found a company who would unpack and set Dad up in Dallas. When Dad arrived at the apartment, it looked like he was already living there.

We were very fortunate to have found out about Downsize My Home."

"DOWNSIZE MY HOME: Back in the 60s, when I studied writing in college, I learned to state all the important information in the first few sentences. Word to the Wise - Get it said quickly, clearly, concisely! Downsize My Home is the most efficient, cost effective, kindest business of this kind in Central Texas. Owner Kim Stanley knows her business handling all details in a warm caring manner; she listens hearing all the things you don’t know you need to tell her. Kim steps in at the opportune moment to lead you personally & strongly along with her well trained crew she has selected as the perfect match of personalities & skills for your project. I needed to move my 83 year old female cousin that had lived independently for over 30 years. She was overwhelmed by the death of her only son from cancer only three months prior leaving my cousin with no immediate family & suffering from dementia that had just been diagnosed. She thought she was in charge. I thought I needed to be but, thankfully, Kim Stanley & her stalwart band of women warriors & packers-extraordinaire managed to please my cousin.

They separated the things she could not live without from the remainder packed for storage. Got all items moved to the correct space, prepared an inventory, marked everything clearly, & the greatest blessing of all is that when my cousin walked into her new apartment the next morning, every item was in its
place, beautifully arranged with nothing left to unpack, all the trash gone. My cousin was overjoyed that “the decorator” had done such an amazing job! Her old apartment was totally cleaned out & every bump in our path disappeared efficiently & cheerfully. I continue to work with Downsize My Home. I rely on them as my cousin is healing from back surgery after a fall necessitating a move to a new home. They have supported me, problem-solved for me and stand ready to make my cousin’s life comfortable & more enjoyable for her. I am truly thankful for professional, caring service freely given with great pride in the quality of the work by each individual beginning with Kim Stanley. They are so good that a person almost wants to move every so often just so they can clean up & get you organized! 😊"

“Sarah and her team were so helpful and accommodating with a constantly changing plan to move my 90 year old aunt from one facility to another.”

Jennifer O'Donnell

“These ladies are amazing, a veritable well oiled machine. I have ;moved 15 times in the last 40 years and thought I knew most of what there is to know about moving. But their level of organization just out-classed my years of experience. Unlike moving companies, they have a sort and purge phase. I think that is the hardest part, yet it was a breeze with Elise. They are punctual, organized, professional and ready to work. And worth every penny (and cheaper than the packers from the moving company). I would recommend for anyone who needs help with such a gargantuan task."
