Testimonials

what our clients are saying


My kids were concerned about me being alone in our large family home after my husband passed. Maris was perfect to help me get the job done!


Many of my friends who should be downsizing are not doing so because they are afraid; overwhelmed, terrified to move, afraid of losing their sense of themselves. They cannot picture being somewhere else; they are insecure, or maybe they feel they are going to eliminate their status by moving from their home. I wasn’t really surprised with the wonderful, detailed service provided!

Ann Bowers

Maris was my guardian angel.


My Mother has dementia, and it came time to move her from the family home to assisted living. At this time of extreme emotional stress, the mechanics of a complicated move is overwhelming. Assistance with space planning, organizing, relocating, and setting up her new apartment, even though I live in another state, was an invaluable resource and I could not have imaged a better person to manage this process. Maris’s designer sense, meticulous care and sensitivity to sentimental things, her timeliness and professional know-how was incredible.

Bill Ammerman

As the executor of my father’s estate, I needed to empty his home within a specific time-frame. Living in another state, with an infant and a career, the prospect was daunting.


My brother and I didn’t have to even think about how to address my fathers’ apartment and the items in it! Dealing with building management and coordination of allowing access for vendors, liquidators, movers, etc., Maris set protocols and procedures to make a safe environment to protect the workers, family members when packing, crating and delivery/liquidation/distribution of his possessions. Maris was my eyes and ears on site.

Elizabeth Walda

I wished I would have known about Downsize by-Design when my siblings and I had to clear out my parent’s home.


We had to move them to a condo, and then clear out their condo and move them to an assisted living facility when their health was deteriorating. We had no road map for how to navigate the process along-side all the emotions and not thinking clearly. It is a service that is definitely needed for those who have full-time jobs. Marcy and Maris know what needs to be done, and how to take care of the entire family as these decisions have to be made.
