Customer Testimonials

Kim S.

Home Downsizing

I really can't say enough about what a positive experience working with Alivio Solutions was for me. I got a quote and when it came in it was like a huge weight had been lifted. They showed up when they said they would every time, they tailored the services to what we needed, they didn't try to add on or upsell, they were totally transparent and they got the job done - quickly and efficiently. Having Alivio step in and just handle everything (including me haha) was such a huge relief. They saved me - or at least what was left of my sanity. Highly recommend.

Storage Downsizing | Move

Rita is very well organized and a great listener. She explains herself thoroughly and is well prepared. I appreciate her manor and respect she had on our facility. I will highly recommend her services to everyone.

Mike Clarke | Keller Williams Real Estate

Home Downsizing

My clients and myself were well informed as to how everything would go. The execution of events precise and yet flexible to both myself and clients. I would highly recommend. Rita was excellent and her team.

Sara C.

Home Downsizing

Alivio was exactly what our family needed in a very stressful time. We hired them to downsize our grandfather's home after he had to move into assisted living unexpectedly. Because we all live out of town/province, it was virtually impossible to all of it ourselves, nor did we want to. They took care of EVERYTHING! The house literally looked like someone just walked out and they got it to pre-staging in a few days! We didnt have to worry about anything; they sold all our valuables, donated and disposed of everything else and coordinated the cleaning. They also worked so well with our realtor. Highly professional and we highly recommend their services! Thank you so much Alivio Solution!

Roberta S.

Home Decluttering

Rita arranged for her team to come to my home to declutter some rooms. They did a great job. The ladies on the team came on time, had a plan, were hardworking and considerate. I just sat there and made decisions. The ladies were a joy to be with. It could not have gone better. Thank you Rita, Diane, Delmy and Corrine.

Kevin W.

Home Downsizing

Led by Rita, the Alivio Solution team did a great job. They started with a large and very full three bedroom apartment, de cluttered, auctioned, donated, and cleaned up. The job was completed on time and budget. Thanks for making it as painless as possible!

Ken L.

Linda W.

Home Downsizing | Move

The clearing out of my brother in laws place went really well. Rita and her team were terrific and managed to get all the items that he might need in the future into a storage unit and donate most of the furniture directly to a family in need who had recently arrived to Canada. They were even able to pack up and drop off some clothes/toiletries at the hospital for my brother in law which was much appreciated. They were just Fantastic!

Jaime Z.

Home Downsizing

Rita and her team understand that downsizing your belongings is a very emotional experience. She is understanding and supportive about every aspect of preparing for the move. Her whole team is friendly, efficient and professional. I wish more people knew about this service - Rita and her staff are truly here to help people. I highly recommend their service to anyone who is feeling overwhelmed by an upcoming move.

Ken W.

Estate Clearing

Getting rid of a lifetime of possessions is a most difficult task.
Aside from the emotional aspect there is the physical component that is overwhelming.. After my Uncle passed on, we had to get rid of all of his possessions that were not distributed to the family. We couldn't have done it without the professional experience of Rita and her team. Things were donated, recycled and auctioned off.
The whole experience was very pleasant and very efficient. I highly recommend Alivio for this type of job.

Kevin M.

Home Downsizing

My parents needed to move out of their single family home of 40 years and we needed someone to help with all of the stuff they had accumulated. Rita and her team were great. The online auction went very well and the house was empty and clean when they were done. I only wish I had contacted them sooner.

Ronda C.

Home Downsizing

Rita and her team efficiently and compassionately helped me deal with my mother's large collection of clothes, furniture, art etc when I had to move her from her rented house to assisted living this month. It was overwhelming for me, and I could not have done it alone. Rita was very responsive to my questions and handled all the emotion that went along with this job with care and grace.

S.K.

Estate Clearing

Recently, my aunt passed away, leaving behind a home filled with various belongings, some of which I considered valuable, and others I thought were mere junk. To my pleasant surprise, the Alivio team managed to identify and sell many more items than I thought to be valuable, saving me both time and money that would have otherwise been spent on donations or disposal. The efficiency of the team was astounding; they cleared the entire house in a fraction of the time it would have taken me, especially considering I live out of town. I am immensely grateful for Alivio's services, not only for their invaluable assistance in handling my aunt's estate but also for their exceptional communication and professionalism throughout the process. They made a challenging time much more manageable, and I cannot thank them enough.

Home Downsizing

Downsizing of 40+ years can be daunting. Alivio Solution took on the job. Rita was never far away during the process; communication was quick and direct. It's a huge load lifted by her and her team.

Rebecca V.

Move | Home Downsizing

Alivio Downsizing wasn't just a means to get my aunt moved and the home ready for sale. It provided me with the space to help her transition with grace. It granted me the ability to take the time to help her with the idea of moving with patience. Rita's incredible team worked hard to take care of everything from packing, moving and finally clearing her home to make it sale ready. It's incredible what they can do in just TWO weeks.

Matt Y.

Move | Home Downsizing

My grandfather lived alone and away from family. When he needed to move, Rita's team packed, moved and cleaned the house. Everyone was happy with the service. The house was ready for sale quickly thanks the absence of the burden of downsizing.

Allan K. | Estate Lawyer

Move | Home Downsizing | Estate Clearing

As a lawyer in Toronto, I suddenly found that I was looking after the finances under a power of attorney for an elderly client who was slipping into dementia. I was introduced to Alivio Downsizing through a retirement home and what a stroke of luck that was. Through the experience and guidance of Rita at Alivio Downsizing, and with the surprising help of some friends and neighbours, an enormous job which was about to overwhelm me became manageable. Alivio, through its experienced crew, organized the vetting of the contents of a house, set a timetable for packing and disposal, ran an online auction, arranged for city disposal, and cleared the house of all debris. To say I could not have done this without them would be an understatement. I liked them so much, I have hired them for a new job on an estate.
