"This letter is to express our appreciation of your recent professional service. It was a difficult time for me and my two siblings coping with my father’s sudden passing and then we were faced with the overwhelming task of having to sort out a lifetime of possessions. You really explained and walked us through the whole process, patiently answering all our questions. Dealing with both Mom’s and Dad’s possessions was a sentimental affair but we all have peace of mind knowing that everything was appropriately recycled, disposed, or auctioned to a new home. You were attentive to every detail from monitoring the electronic website auction to touching up a tiny scratch on the floor afterwards.

Thank you, Rob, Peter & Elaine “

"It was in the fall of 2021 that I became Estate Trustee of a loved one's earthly possessions. Not only was this experience emotionally taxing but also physically exhausting and very time-consuming.

As a busy professional I needed the assistance of an expert familiar with handling, sorting, and disposing of personal property. After my unsatisfactory interviews of three different contractors (downsizers, estate clearers) a realtor colleague mentioned your name, and during our initial meeting, I felt comfortable not only with your presentation of timelines re the various stages of the project but also with the billing schedules.

The prolonged and strict COVID-19 lockdown presented a multitude of obstacles: many establishments worked with a skeleton staff or were closed; my partner's property was a 2-bedroom plus den condominium apartment in a high-rise building with lots of rules which were strictly enforced by the condo board (no public contents/auction sales, restrictions re elevator bookings for moves).

It was thanks to your expertise plus connections in your chosen field that such tasks as cataloging the entire content of a 1400 S.F. home; shipping of selected pieces of furniture and memorabilia to a beneficiary who resided outside Canada; sourcing of an appropriate charity to donate an extensive library of professional books; distribution of clothing, household items and furniture to several other charities; on-line sale of stereo equipment plus other specific items, were handled with aplomb.

What seemed to me a herculean task at the outset, concluded as a well-organized, albeit mournful, project thanks to your professionalism and compassion.

Again, thank you very much Jeff!”

“I worked with Jeff to clean out my mother's house after her passing. Jeff made a very difficult and emotional process manageable. Jeff's calm, empathetic and patient nature is an asset to his work; he is a pleasure to be around. His methodical approach, his decisiveness, reassurance (when I was uncertain about a decision) and his connections for donating and recycling items made the process so much easier for me. I have since worked with Jeff to organize my own home and have recommended his services to family and friends. “ - Laura W.

“My Brother and I hired Jeff Orr to help us with the task of selling a house full of items when our Father passed. This job was unique because there were both typical household items, and automotive related items (tires, tools, random parts, etc.) from a used car business on the property. Jeff rose to the challenge by offering excellent advice on which channels we could use for selling (in this case we used an online auction) and followed through with organizing and grouping the items for us. He was also present for the pick-up day. Jeff's skill and strategy for grouping the lots for the sale was amazing and resulted in an excellent outcome for the auction, far exceeding our expectations of what we thought would find a new home. Jeff took a difficult load off our shoulders, and did so with efficiency and kindness. All in all a great service.”
