Introduction
At 92, Sam enjoyed a healthy active lifestyle, including sailing the coast of North America on his 32 ft sailboat with his girlfriend. However, after a fall, he made a fast move into respite, 6 hours away from his home, to be closer to his son Doug.
Challenge
Solution
Sam was aware of Gordons Downsizing and Estate Services through a couple of neighbours who had used them and he told Doug about them. Doug was uncertain that one company could manage all the moving parts and fund the necessary steps, but he called to discuss. A video call was set up with all key family members and the Gordons team, to ensure they were supportive of a one-stop solution.
The family determined this was the best solution for them and Sam, so an agreement was signed 3 days following the initial inquiry. A review of the property by the Gordons team took place the next day, in which a photo inventory was created and a lockbox was installed at the condo to ensure security.
The following week, Sam’s car, mobility scooter, and personal items were moved to his new retirement suite – 6 hours away. This also included placement and unpacking of everything. Two weeks later, the out-of-province family came and took the few items they could carry easily and asked Gordons to ship the rest. Following that, the contents were catalogued and removed for auction. The condo was cleaned, inspected, prepared for market, listed, and sold. The sailboat was taken by a family member.

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.”
