Some feedback from a lovely DownSize NZ client
"Right in the lockdown period, there was the totally daunting task of sorting and clearing a house after a life time of occupation - and in sad circumstances. Luckily Ant & Sue from Downsize were sent my way. As soon as I met them, with their way of listening to the customer's needs and respectfully making suggestions, the whole process became so much easier to handle. As well, Ant & Sue were always on time and went out of their way to make the process easier. I couldn't have done it without them. Top marks!" - Karen Pawson (Palmerston North)
