Introduction
Challenge
Lois was starting to struggle to manage her home. She had been paying for house maintenance for a while, and over the last 2 years had been increasing her use of home support services. She leaned on Tina for help with online bill payments and household decisions, however, she was simply tired of cooking.
Tina also feared for Lois’ safety. Falling is a risk in her 2 story home. Tina was still working and couldn’t take time off to figure out Lois’ move. Dealing with a house full to the brim, and getting a good sale for it were things she didn’t have time for.
The final part of the challenge was that the new retirement community Tina suggested faced construction delays and while many real estate agents had advised her to sell while the market was strong, she didn’t want to get caught without a place for her Mom to live.
Solution
Tina met with Gordons Downsizing and Estate Services at their Kingston office to explain her situation. She then arranged for everyone to meet with Lois to ensure she was comfortable with Gordons managing the process of her move. Lois decided that chasing the market for the house sale was too big a risk and a stressor. The other key elements, like ensuring the suite was ready before she committed to a house sale deadline, and her evolving health were also factors. A plan was made to get her move organized so that once the retirement suite was actually ready, Lois would be prepared.
When the time came Lois was packed, moved, unpacked, her bed made, pictures hung, clothes in the closet, and boxes removed. Once Lois was settled, Gordons also took care of shredding old documents, waste clearing, charitable donations of food and clothing, sale of the contents, and the preparation & sale of the house.

Margaret
“I was dreading the move and I still can’t believe how well it went. Everybody involved was so kind, helpful and patient that I never felt worried. When it came to selling my house, Sherry was so patient, explaining everything and not pushing me to make a decision.”
Angela, Executor
“I hired Gordons when I was recently called upon to act as an estate trustee. They cleaned out an entire lifetime of household goods and personal effects from a home, arranged for minor renovations to prepare the house for listing, and sold the house for fair market value. ”
Joyce & Morton
“From the very beginning we were promptly advised, every step of the way. Our house sold quickly, we can only attribute that to Gordons for their very descriptive advertising. Thank you all for a job well done in a friendly and courteous manner.”
