Our Testimonials

Neatspaces is the company that I rely on to help my clients get their houses ready for market. Edie’s team is exceptional. Recently, one of my sellers described a Neatspaces’ team member as,”helper/angel/therapist”. The job of clearing out their house had seemed insurmountable, but with the help of Edie’s team they were packed up and moved out in 3 weeks.

Thank you Neatspaces for making my job, especially with downsizing and estate clearout clients so much easier.

Pre-Listing Home Decluttering, Downsizing and Move Management
When it comes to "NEAT SPACES," Edie Michel and her professional team are experts in what they do. They made my downsizing and moving experience as smooth, and stress-free as possible. From the way in which they treated me and my belongings, and orchestrated the packing process, they were swift, competent and respectful. It was a pleasure watching them work as each detail was accomplished with a seamless flow, and the job was completed ahead of time. I am more than satisfied with NEAT SPACES and highly recommend them.

Downsizing and Move Management
"I just have to tell you what a simply amazing job you and your team did to move my Mom on Monday. How Jane managed to return absolutely everything in its rightful place is astonishing. My Mom said even the exact order of all her clothes on hangers in the large bedroom cupboard was achieved, and with her failing eyesight that was greatly appreciated. Thank you so very very much for this fine service, it was expeditious, uncomplicated to arrange and very professional. You provided exactly the service that you promised, most impressive!"

Downsizing
"This work involved packing and moving an elderly person from their condo to assisted living. The team was excellent and easy to work with. They helped us go through things and sort out junk, donations and move to new residence.
Edie was great to organize things and Jane was on-site. The packing was well done by Elanda and both the junk removal and movers were excellent and professional. The clean up team left the place spotless and it sold in four days ! A sincere thank you to all."
"Busy people with large homes that they have occupied for decades and now want to list for sale, face a daunting task. How will I get this place prepped for sale and then how will I get everything ready to move? Where will I find the time and energy? The services provided by companies like Neat Spaces are a godsend to such people. We were so pleased to learn that such services existed. As for Neat Spaces, we were very happy with the service and value provided by Edie and her team."
"Leah was amazing! She organized a lot of my house. This started with a storage room that was packed to the brim then my spare room, kitchen, bathroom and garage. For each area, she began by taking things out and collecting like items. Then, with her help, I went through each item deciding what was to stay and what was to go. She then did an absolutely fantastic job of organizing each of the areas. She also organized everything that was to go into piles for donation, recycle and garbage (of various kinds). Neat Spaces even arranged to have all of these items that were to go picked up. I had started this huge task on my own several times but didn't make a dent. I felt totally defeated and disheartened by it. Leah, however, turned this painful task into an enjoyable one. I actually had a great time! If I ever need help organizing something again I will absolutely call Neat Spaces. I HIGHLY recommend them."
"I am writing about the excellent experience we had with Neat Spaces! We had to downsize our home and we retained Neat Spaces. Edie and her professional organizing team were exceptional. The staff was very professional, courteous and extremely efficient. They helped us with our downsize and move from beginning to end. They made it a pleasurable experience! I would recommend using the services of Neat Spaces.

Thank you so much Neat Spaces"
"I cannot say enough good things about the Neat Spaces crew. Edie and everyone took care of us from prelisting staging of our house in preparation for getting the house sold to organizing the move, packing our house, and unpacking when we moved in - real end-to-end move management.

Along the way, the team helped us with decluttering, organizing, and donating unneeded furniture.

Would happily recommend Neat Spaces to anyone moving in the GTA!"
"Thank you for empowering me. You have given me the power to be less afraid to move on in other areas of my life, not only organizing my underwear! I know it is business. I know. But, somehow, with what I need to accomplish, I will never forget what you are doing for me. Until we meet again."
"WOW! What can I say, I am absolutely thrilled with the final outcome of the basement, it has brought tears to my eyes as the basement has been a huge sore spot with me for many years! I always hated going down there to get something….Please thank all those involved with this project, it’s so greatly appreciated! Thank you once again for “clearing up my life”."
"Just wanted to thank you so much for your help with our front hall closet and back hall closet near the kitchen. They look amazing and are going to make such a huge difference in our everyday lives. The closet by the kitchen was such a great way to reclaim some well needed storage. I’m looking forward to working with you again."
"The basement looks fantastic! I would have never ever had expected it to look that great. Thank you so much for purchasing the bins and providing the labels. Thank you again for all your hard work."
"You do great work and are fast and efficient!"
"On behalf of the Oakville Professional Fire Fighters Assoc., we would like to thank you for your generous support of the Johnny “D” Benefit night. We couldn’t have done it without your help!"
"Thank you so much for generously donating your time to help organize Hamilton’s Ronald McDonald House… our storage rooms and the House Manager’s office look fantastic."
"A very belated, heartfelt, thank you for all your help with my Mum’s estate. As you know, I’m a senior with painful arthritis… actually I prefer to be called vintage. The thought of sorting, packing, labelling and distributing all of my Mother’s belongings after her death was overwhelming, until I called you for help.

Your simple organizational systems were very efficient, time saving and cost effective. You arranged transportation for donated items to family, friends, charities, and trips to the dump, and everything ended up safely at the right place. Having you come to my home to re-organize my basement and make room for things was wonderful. You are bright, cheery and a pleasure to work with. Thank you for making a difficult task so much easier. "
"I can’t thank you enough for your professionalism and expertise helping with my deceased uncle’s condominium. What a load off of my shoulders to arrive one day and see everything packed up in boxes and distributed where required. Your ideas for distribution helped so much. You were there at short notice when it was time to list for sale, and back again very fast when I notified you of a quick closing date. Now I can go away for the winter with a clear head, and nothing to worry about. You coordinated with those who were taking pieces of furniture, with a condo board member regarding booking the elevator and paying requisite deposit against damage, and then with the movers. I didn’t have to do a thing. This meant a lot when living over an hour away. Everything went so smoothly. Thank you so much. I will recommend you to anyone I know, who could use your services."
"What an incredible feeling of lightness I have – thank you!"
"We felt the time you spent helping us organize was really valuable. We LOVE the kitchen and have already started making some changes based on your advice in other areas. I would love to have you come back soon. Thanks again."
"We were delighted to share coffee and goodies with you on Tuesday AND, we are delighted with our new closets! Your design is perfect for us and the installation beautifully done. We will recommend you."
"Thank you again for the conversation around clothing storage last week. It was enormously helpful to understand the changing dynamics of closet design and how homeowners are storing clothing and accessories. It is clear that your expertise in the trends in consumer demand and products available to them is very current. I appreciate your professional insights and knowledgeable approach to an ever-evolving consumer need."
"Thanks for the great work. We are very pleased with our closets. Am wishing I had you do the linen cupboard now."
"The NEAT SPACES team of experts gave excellent service to our residents who were making the hardest move of their lives into Burlington Gardens Retirement Residence. They were efficient and friendly and very supportive."
"I love my new closet, thank you – what a relief it is to have such an orderly space! So far I’ve kept it tidy and neat and my clothes can finally breathe!"
"Wow, what a great job, very impressive. We have just returned to an organized, beautiful space. Sherri-Anne loves it"
"I am extremely pleased with the whole process and all work done. There can be no price for peace of mind and a restored independence. I was able to enjoy my home this past weekend, and to do several things (including baking!!) I haven’t done in months. I also had the energy to continue the sorting and re-arranging with Jo- Anne’s advice and suggestions echoing in my subconscious. Now that’s a very relieved client! So, with many thanks, I will certainly be back to you, and have already sung your company’s praises to several people."
"I wanted to send you and Jo-Anne a HUGE thank-you for helping me this week! I realize it is your job but I also felt you cared and I am grateful to you both for your efforts and your patience! I hope you have good job satisfaction because the ripple effect on someone’s life of all that you do is Tsunami in proportion. I hope to get the rest of my stuff and life as organized as what you both accomplished…and now that its started, I am going to prioritize it as a regular necessary tune up item so that it never gets so bad again!"
"We were absolutely thrilled with the organization that you and your team did for my daughter’s arrival home from having her baby. The apartment was set up perfectly for a baby to come home too. My daughter is extremely proud of her home now and now can invite friends in for a visit. Thanks for all you did."
"Thanks so much. I can’t tell you how happy I am for all the work you have done. What a fantastic change."
"Thank you for helping my parents downsize after 40 years in the same house. Jane provided great downsizing ideas, organized the move and guided my parents on what can only be described as a stressful day for them. The NEAT SPACES Downsizing team set up their new home, including hanging clothes in their closets, setting up their beds, unpacking the kitchen, etc. by 5pm on moving day. What an accomplishment! I couldn’t have imagined a move without Jane’s help. She calmed my parents down and took charge. Not a job my brother and I were keen to assume. "

"Thank you so very much for everything! The house looks amazing – so different from when we started!! You were as efficient and professional as I expected and it was great to work with you. Very pleased with your service. Kind and courteous!"
"My opinion of you, your staff and your company has been voiced to many already. I will happily recommend Neat Spaces in the future, in fact I already have. Thank you for your hard work and dedication in getting the house cleared out and ready. I am certainly impressed with your professionalism and will be happy to recommend you to anyone."
"I reached out to Eddie with a big task and small budget. Eddie was very helpful in suggesting what can be done with the budget amount and accommodating with the timeline. Eddie was very pleasant to speak with and realistic with expectations. "
"WE have utilized Neat spaces on two occasions over the last 4 years and found they made our move as easy as possible.Jane was the person we worked with and she was a joy to work with and she was as pleasant as she was efficient. We obviously recommend their services and especially Jane!"
"I have used neat spaces three times and have been more than happy with there service."
"Jane helped me move my mom twice to retirement home. Very friendly, helpful, efficient and organized. Would definitely use them again!"
"I worked with Neat Spaces to downsize my parents from their home of over 30 years, and to move them into a retirement home. Edie was wonderful. She arranged everything; movers, organizers, cleaners. Everyone was a pleasure to work with. They were sensitive to a tough situation and I trusted them with my family belongings. We were on a tight deadline and managed to get everything done and prepare the house for sale. I definitely recommend Neat Spaces!"
"Extremely friendly, and hardworking made my move a lot easier on me helping with unpacking and setting up my new place "
"Edie of Neat Spaces did a phenomenal job with our move to a new executive home in Toronto. Edie was so well organized, she recommended that our family go away for a couple of weeks while she handled everything including packing and unpacking and making sure everything was in its place on our return. Imagine having your kitchen set up and all of your clothes etc. put away! This was our biggest and least stressful move ever. We have complete trust in Edie and her team having known her over a number of years and she delivered flawlessly. We highly recommend Neat Spaces to anyone looking for a smooth transition to a new home"
"Late in 2018, my elderly parents passed away within a few weeks of each other after living in their detached bungalow for 55 years. After the emotional shock and forthcoming arrangements we began the daunting task of preparing the home for sale. My brother and I and our wives were in disbelief with what lay ahead; it was incredible the amount of furniture, clothing, books, kitchenware, tools and personal belongings that had accumulated over those years. We attempted over the better part of 2 months, several hours every week, sorting and organizing and packing and realized we weren’t making much of a dent in the effort required. A friend recommended Edie and her team at Neat Spaces and we are very pleased that she did. Over a period of less than one week Edie’s team organized, sorted, packed and removed all the agreed to contents, leaving the house in a state ready for sale. We found Neat Spaces to be very professional and reliable in every sense. We had no fear trusting the team with family possessions, personal documents or precious sentimental memorabilia. We can highly recommend Neat Spaces and thank them for diminishing our family stress during our difficult emotional time."
"I contacted Neat Spaces Professional Organizing Services to assist in the clearing of a 3200 sq ft home that was occupied by a senior couple with dementia. Neat Spaces staff met me at the house to complete a walk through and to provide comment/options on how best to organize and clear the house for sale. The staff was amazing. They looked after bringing people in to organize... to pack up... to remove and distribute items to auction houses, charities, scrap metal, land fill and storage. They were incredibly organized. They were well staffed. The whole crew was sympathetic, patient and willing to help. I would highly recommend Neat Spaces Professional Organizing Services"
"They helped me to organize all the storage areas in my house and garage. De clutter and sort through storage and also move furniture around. Very professional team which made a difficult job easy."
"When we moved into our new home about a year ago things got thrown into place. There was always a plan to tackle the clutter, but with work and family responsibilities we could never seem to get around to it. The disorganization was adding an element of chaos to our already busy lives and so we decided to seek professional help! Some areas - like the basement - required a huge amount of work, while other areas needed a little tweaking to optimize functionality. Within a few days, the whole job was done. My stress level has gone down and the ability to enjoy our home has gone way up!"
"My elderly mother had decided that she needed to sell her townhouse after living there for 3 decades. We really needed significant help to physically prepare her home and organize the contents. This was a really big job that was way beyond the capability of my extended family (who lived both in Ontario and BC). Neat Spaces did a great job of coordinating cleaning services, recommending a great handyman for larger house repairs, sorting materials for donation, junk removal, packing and the final move of any valued contents. They also went the extra mile and dealt with special requests made by extended family members. Without Neat Spaces, we would have misplaced or junked valuable family memorabilia/furniture. I think that the actual time saved in getting the house well-organized is really worth the investment. Ultimately, these preparations also greatly helped with the quick final sale of the townhouse too. Kudos to Edie and the team."
"NeatSpaces’ owner and team were professional, pleasant and extremely helpful. They were on-time and on-budget in providing their services to: consult; recommend appropriate recipients (e.g. charities, consignors, galleries, etc.); sort; pack; move furniture/artworks/household goods/clothing to multiple locations within the city; store furniture for transportation later to another province; and clean in preparation for the sale of a house that was required to be completely empty and clean. NeatSpaces made the large and unpleasant task of removing 50 years of accumulated contents very tolerable. Most importantly, both NeatSpaces’ owner and team did exactly what they said they were going to do and they did it very well. Would highly recommend NeatSpaces to anyone needing to deal with a move or an estate-type situation"
"This was the second time we have used Neat Spaces to help with a move. They (Jane) did more than help. We couldn't have anticipated a smoother, more organized move, and were settled in immediately. Thanks to Neat Spaces and especially Jane we didn't have a box or anything extraneous sitting around for days. Well worth any cost involved."
