Relocation from Hamilton to Vancouver
This is a difficult testimonial to write because I keep wanting to cry... from gratitude. Wendy and Jo-Anne from Neat Spaces went far beyond being professional, timely, efficient organizers. They were an absolute god-send at a difficult time for my family and went far, far above the line of duty. I wouldn't just recommend them. I'd open up my heart and home to them any time, any place. There are good business people and then there are just good people.During a sensitive time for my octogenarian mother, having been diagnosed with memory loss, ordered to relinquish her drivers license and move to a senior home, they compassionately, efficiently helped her sort, organize and pack in preparation for a cross-country move - without any of us present to guide. They did everything - sorting, culling, separating, packing, labelling - with only Mom there and no one else. They were inclusive, warm, patient and remarkably organized. They supplied everything, finished on budget and garnered a friend for life in Mom. As she is having to say goodbye to half her beloved belongings, she couldn't say enough positive things about "her helpers"... how good they were, how nice they were, how
lucky she was to have them! It turns out, we were the lucky ones. To have chosen the perfect company to entrust a sensitive and challenging task to.
Thank you Wendy & Jo-Anne. Thank you so very much.

Hi Wendy
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,
Melissa, Burlington
"I don't know what I would have done without Wendy! As a single mother of 3 I was at wits end, but Wendy came in and helped me not only get organized, but put a system in place to help me stay that way. I was overwhelmed by the sheer volume of clutter; now I'm educated in how to keep it from getting out of hand, and motivated to continue using Wendy's advice to prevent it from being an issue in the future. Thanks so much for everything, and you'll definitely be my first phone call if I need help again. In the new year I have a basement to tackle, and I look forward to working with you again."
I have to tell you though, I just came up from the basement smiling. We're going to friends for dinner tonight and I'm taking 2 bottles of wine, one as part of a gift and 1 for dinner. I went down to the wrapping centre (you created) and in the wine bottle bag drawer found a paper bag for the dinner wine and a matching hard case for the gift. What were the chances of that happening before?
Alison and I both agree that the clean up and organization never would have got to the point it is without your input and guidance. Thank you so much for your help and expertise, Wendy. You have given us back a third of our living space, that's huge! It was an absolute pleasure working with you,
Janice, Burlington

"...Hi Wendy, Thank you again for coming into our office and presenting a lunch and learn on clearing the clutter and organization. We have had nothing but positive feedback from staff - "excellent session", "thank you for bringing Wendy in", "it was down to earth and it was nice that you introduced the warmth of your family". Everyone went away from the lunch having learned/picked up on a couple of tips towards being organized."

"I don't know what I would have done without Wendy when I had only two weeks to prepare my home for sale. She and her team worked tirelessly to organize and declutter the whole house. Wendy is a consummate professional, bringing in team when necessary and expertly directing the entire process. Thank you so much, for everything! Through your hard work and network of fantastic contacts my house looks better than I ever imagined it could."

"Wendy was just the right person to help me get out from under boxes and bags that filled my basement. I knew I needed to purge but...She listened when I whined and pleaded to keep things, but then showed me how every single item had a place. She took things to donation centers and women's
items to a shelter, art materials to a non- profit school. Then she separated the recycle into every category imaginable; there was next to no 'throwing away'. It was great!
Thank you Wendy!!"

"It is with heartfelt thanks that I am writing this letter today. Wendy and her team have helped me through a very difficult time in my life. It was after a long illness that my home had become unmanageable and so cluttered that I couldn't think straight. Wendy and her team came in and helped me organize, create efficient workspaces, reduce clutter, and throw away bags and bags of garbage. In addition, we put together bags of donation items, which made me feel great about giving back to the Community.
And then again, when I had to make a sudden move, Wendy was there to lend a helping hand. Her excellent time saving systems allowed me to get everything packed up on deadline and moved to my new home. She was also there when the moving van arrived at the new place, to help me organize the chaos of moving day and unload tons of boxes to get me started.
I always know Wendy will be there when I am feeling overwhelmed by clutter or need a quick "purge". Her efficient, friendly, no-nonsense approach is refreshing and highly motivating.
So, thank you Wendy, for your help through some tough times and for teaching me some very valuable organizing "tips of the trade". (But I still plan on keeping your number on my speed dial just in case!! LOL)"

"Wendy, I couldn't have done any of this without you. Needless to say, from the bottom of my heart I thank you. I finally have floor space. You have helped me get rid of bags and bags of garbage. Did I mention I have floor space! You have taught me life lessons. You have found my 95 screwdrivers and 10 hammers! You have totally made me excited about moving on, on my own. I am really excited about planning my kitchen and bathroom. I had ideas but couldn't do them because of the extreme clutter. Because of you, I can move forward. If you haven't realized it, it is huge! A huge thank you goes your way!"

"...Hi Wendy: 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."
Cheers

"... Wendy: It has been a great job that you both did. Certainly something that Craig and I could not have managed with our work schedule. Craig really liked the living room. In fact his comment to me was that when we move into the new house, he would like me to call you for placement of furniture. His comment was that "space is golden" !

"...For the first time, I was able to retrieve information from my home office without the stress of where is it? and tearing through piles of paper endlessly. My daughter's school had called for her medical records and I was able to retrieve this quickly from the new filing system Wendy had set up for us in our home office. I should have done this 10 years ago!!!! Thank you Wendy."
