The ORIGINAL Downsizing Divas, Gail Shields and Karen Shinn, have been helping people downsize, organize, move and clear estates for over 20 years.

As Certified Senior Move Managers, we can help you move from your family home to a condo, retirement residence or care community. We love what we do and try to make a difference in people's lives every single day.

Are you moving for the first time in years? We can help you organize your treasures, decide what to pack, coordinate your move and find new homes for things you no longer want, use or need. 

Moving may come with feelings of guilt, anxiety, and excitement; having an objective person to help with the decision-making takes most of the stress out of your move.

Testimonials

from a Son...

Thank you for all the great help you provided under difficult circumstances. The initial move was completed in an incredibly short time which was remarkable. After my mother's passing, the clear-out of both apartments was handled in an exemplary manner. We were impressed with and grateful for the extremely professional, kind and generous help provided by all the staff who assisted.

from a Client...

Now that the downsizing and move are behind me, I want to let you know that I am very satisfied with the results. The way in which all of this was organized resulted in a move that went well and without problems while the house was emptied and the remaining contents were disposed of in various ways. Thank you very much for having done an excellent job!

from a Daughter...

I just wanted to congratulate you and your team on an OUTSTANDING job. You were so pleasant to work with! You were unbelievably fast, careful, respectful, efficient, and polite! You helped me make very difficult decisions and I just can’t believe how much you were able to accomplish! You both are, truly, awesome. We could not have done this without you. If I could give you MORE than 10/10 I would! We are so grateful to have worked with you both! I give you our highest recommendation. Thank you, most sincerely.
