Testimonials | Gordon's Downsizing & Estate
top of page

I am an estates lawyer and can say without reservation that Gordon’s provides a fantastic service to my estate trustee clients.

I also hired Gordon’s 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. I did not pay a cent until the house was sold and I had access to funds. Prices are reasonable for the quality of service provided. Gordon’s enabled me to meet my legal duties as estate trustee in a timely and cost-effective manner.

“Everyone I came into contact with on the Gordon’s team, from my real estate agent Manson, to Cathy, Sue and their relocation teams, to in house staff Nicky and Scott were professional, polite and positive. This company knows its business. A special shout out to Barry Gordon for providing a much needed service by such a stand up company.Good Work Gordons!”

The sale of contents, cleaning and painting, appraisals, home inspection and advice regarding marketing were invaluable to me. I am sure that without your 'one stop' services I would still be preparing the property for sale. Please let Manson, Cathy, Nicky, Laura and the others who contributed their time, know how pleased I am with the excellent job done.

"The time during which our property was listed was the most uncertain and difficult market in several years. We were kept well informed and received honest advice throughout the process."

- Lyle and Bobbie, Grimsby

"It has been a pleasure to deal with your company, all of your staff are experts at what they do. From Cathy and her team who went out of their way to ease our stress. The little things from buying sheets, shower curtains to moving Frank's bed from his house to Rosewood when CCAC mixed up the bed rental. Manson Slik understood the speed of selling Frank's house to ensure money was available to pay for Rosewood. He also made it possible within 4 hours to have a $2,000 cheque available to cover unexpected costs from Frank's medical needs not covered under OHIP. Barry was up front regarding all costs and breakdowns of costs, which included handouts. Cathy and her team came to our rescue again assisting with items that the clean up found in the attic which we never thought to check, money was found, etc. Again, the compassion of 'all' of your staff and their honesty, very up beat and friendly atmosphere made us feel we were not being taken, which is huge in our books."

- Cameron and Sue, Kingston

"It was an excellent experience in all respects. It made possible a stress free major operation which I could never have managed on my own.I was greatly impressed by the professionalism, efficiency and care that was taken in managing all aspects of my relocation.

-Roger, Brockville

- Nick, Kingston, Power of Attorney

-Randy and Georgina, Kingston

"Thanks for all your help with Mom's house and belongings!! We couldn't be happier with the outcome of the house sale and the online sale of many of her items. I'm convinced that Gordon's easily paid for itself by getting a much better purchase price for the home than we could have ever done ourselves. When factoring in the mental anguish that we avoided by not taking on the huge job of getting Mom's place ready to sell, and the sorting/moving or selling her possessions, your services were absolutely invaluable."

- Matt

"Gordon’s is a very professional, caring, well organized personal company, that handled all aspects of our very challenging move with ease, positivity and amazing efficiency. From Manager, Barry to Cathy, the Estate Manager, to Manson, the Real Estate Broker, we received clear, precise information and advice about each step of our move. All three persons met every appointment on time , even in winter weather. This amazing team eased huge concerns, due to health issues and COVID restrictions, from our shoulders and thus provided us with a calm and secure transition to this next stage of our lives. We can’t thank them enough. ”

- Ted and Betty, Belleville

“We contacted Gordon’s after finding a condo for my Grandma that they had listed. They sent all requested information quickly and, after connecting us with a buyer’s agent, we made an offer within 24 hours. Moving is stressful and overwhelming at the best of times, but made even more so in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. Manson, Cathy and their team were professional, helpful, patient and understanding as they worked with us to determine a timeline for the move. Manson also arranged and organized all aspects of the sale of Grandma’s waterfront home. Things couldn’t have been easier. Grandma is now comfortably moved into her new condo and her home had an accepted offer within two weeks and closed shortly after that. My family and I would recommend Gordon’s for all your moving and downsizing needs.”

- Jessica Stuart, Belleville

“After a loss in the family, I had to sell a family member's property and house, which were in a remote location and several hours from where I lived. Enter Gordon's. They could not have been better to deal with and things could not have been easier! I have zero negative things to say about them. They took care of everything, including the cleaning and prepping of the house, the sale of the contents and all the appointments. Communication through phone, text and email was timely and often. Document signing and paperwork were all handled through email. Each member of the team in this process were friendly, helpful and professional. Their advice was invaluable throughout the process. If you need to sell a house, Gordon's is the way to do it!.”

- Jamie Earhart

“Moving is always a difficult time. I appreciated the sensitivity shown by the Gordons' team.”

- Ed

“We experienced very timely, professional and expert service and advice. During a difficult time, you removed a great deal of the burden off of our shoulders. What once looked like an overwhelming task suddenly became very manageable with relatively minimal effort on our part.”

- Hugh, POA from Toronto

“I was truly amazed at all the services Gordon’s offered. Unfortunately we could not get into my new apartment on the planned date and with the restrictions I felt badly that the girls could not do the unpacking as planned. The packing girls were like family, I enjoyed meeting them all. Such a nice feeling at a stressful time. I honestly cannot think of how you can improve. Thank you for making my move as stress free as possible.”

- Joan, Ottawa

"Excellent support and advice from start to finish. A thorough approach taken by Cathy, Manson and Barry. Appreciated the tour of your office as well. It's difficult to improve upon perfection. Excellent communication and attention to detail is evident and appreciated throughout the entire process."

-Alan, Kingston
