5 Questions to Ask Before Hiring a Downsizing Service

Hiring a downsizing service can save you time, stress, and overwhelm, but how do you know which company is the right fit? Here are five key questions to ask before making your decision.

1. What Services Do You Offer?
Not every downsizing company does the same thing. Make sure they can handle everything you need, whether it’s one room or an entire home.

2. How Do You Handle Items to Be Donated, Sold, or Recycled?
A trustworthy service will have a clear, eco-friendly process for responsibly rehoming your belongings. Do they have examples of the programs or charities that they donate to? A list of curated buyers of secondhand goods?

3. What Is Your Approach to Sensitive or Sentimental Items?
Downsizing can be emotional. Ask how they handle personal belongings with compassion and respect. Is there an option for them to work right beside you?

4. Can You Provide References or Testimonials?
Hearing from others who have used their services gives you peace of mind. Be sure to check google reviews as a first step.

5. Are You Insured and Professional?
This ensures your belongings, and your home, are protected throughout the process.
