I'd give Missy 10 stars if I could! We were referred to her by our real estate agent to help us clear out a family home of 50 years after the death of our parents to prepare it for sale in a short time frame. Missy's help was invaluable, worth every penny in helping us manage one of life's most stressful transitions. She arrived well-organized and ready to work, with packing tape, boxes, and other supplies that would have taken us valuable time to shop for. She was clear and personable in all her communications about how she could help us, her scope, fees and terms, and she exceeded our expectations in every way. She was self-starting, hard-working, and thorough in helping us sort through two lifetime's worth of accumulations of all sorts, helping us make difficult decisions about what to keep and what to let go, and requiring almost no time or direction on our part--she knew from experience and intuition how to plan and prioritize, where her help was most needed, and also knowing what only we could do. She was sensitive, thoughtful and conscientious about identifying items of potential value, and finding respectful new homes for stuff we wanted to give away, and keeping stuff out of the landfill by donating to local community-based non-profit organizations whenever possible. She packed boxes and boxes of items etc. carefully and professionally for shipping across the country, and everything arrived in good shape. Without her help, my brother and I would have each needed to take another week or two off work without pay-she saved us not just hours but days and weeks of time. As we neared the end of our PTO, with still plenty of stuff in the house, Missy said "just be sure to take what you want, and I'll finish the rest and empty the house after you're gone--" and she did it (and even took trash and recycling bins down to the curb and back and sent us donation receipts for tax deductions). Thank you so much, MIssy, our family will always remember your help! read more
