Downsizing & senior moves

Downsizing help on Vancouver Island

Moving to a smaller home, a condo or a care residence? Once you've chosen what's coming with you, we clear the rest of the home, resell what has value and lower your bill with a resale credit. We're based in Mill Bay, serving Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands.

How we help

One team for everything that isn't moving

Downsizing usually means a home full of furniture, dishes, tools, books and keepsakes that won't fit in the new place. We take care of all of it in one process, so you and your family don't have to sell things one by one or haul loads to the dump.

  • We sort the contents and resell what has value through our Mill Bay store, online auctions and other resale channels.
  • Items we can resell earn a resale credit that lowers the cost of the clear-out.
  • We donate and recycle what we can, and dispose of only what's left.
  • We work around your moving date, and around building rules such as elevator bookings in condos and strata buildings.

Step by step

How it works

1

Talk to us.

Book a free assessment, or send photos of the home and contents.

2

Choose what's coming.

You and your family decide what's going to the new home. Mark or set aside anything you want to keep.

3

We plan the job.

We recommend a clear-out, an auction or a buyout, give you a quote and book a date that fits your move.

4

We clear the rest.

Our crew removes the remaining contents, and the property is left empty and ready for the next step.

For families

Helping a parent downsize?

Many of our calls come from adult children helping a parent move. If you live away, you can start by sending us photos of the home, and we'll talk through the options by phone.

Please note that we empty the property; we don't offer cleaning services.
