“Wow! Thank you for sending the before/after photos. You have done a wonderful job. The house looks phenomenal! And a BIG thank you for everything you have done. I know it has not been the easiest of jobs. You provide an amazing service and we would not have been able to get to this achieved without you and your team!”

“Janice Swan and her team at Sort Out Services have provided my family with superb service.  She helped us prepare our late father’s large family home and property for new owners, and did so in a friendly, professional, skilled, manner. Reasonable cost for excellent help – so worthwhile. I am very happy to follow this reference with a verbal recommendation.’’

“Thanks very much for the excellent job done. We are really pleased with how it is looking. We have appreciated your prompt and precise communication and your professionalism.”

“You are worth every penny spent.

You didn’t include the bonus cost of spending some great time with you. Gold.

Thanks and hugs.”

“Again thank you again for everything you have done not only was it a great job but I found you really easy to deal with which made this part of the process so much easier for me…Again thanks, and I will definitely as I am sure my siblings will recommend you to others.”

“Thank you so very, very much Janice. You’ve literally kept me sane this past 6 months. Your work is exemplary!!! I’m delighted beyond words! You’ve made a monumental difference to my life this year, Janice. Heartfelt thanks Dana.”

“Morning Janice, I’m forever grateful to you for everything, your advice, your contacts, and guidance made what felt so overwhelming so much less so. My mum and dad would be very happy that so much was able to be donated and have a second life. Thank you again, Lee.”

“Dear Janice and team

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

Check out these photos (link was provided)– you guys have done a wonderful job as you always do but this property was particularly in need of a makeover and the before and after of this one is unbelievable….

Your team are so professional, the timely manner in which the work was done and the standard of the finished result are honestly amazing – I have no hesitation in referring you onto other clients – I am so happy with the result as is the family.

Have a great week and thank you to the Dream Team.

See you soon at another job, Tina.”

“I could not be happier to have found Janice’s service. I had been worried about how to get a property in Upper Hutt ready for sale when I lived in the South Island and could not travel. Janice came to the rescue and arranged for the property to be cleaned from top to bottom. This was done by Ray to an exceptionally high standard. She also arranged for two gardeners including an arborist to cut back and shape the overgrown trees, pull the weeds, mow the lawns and rehang a grapevine. They did a fantastic job. She arranged for a truck to remove and dispose of the rubbish in the garage. She also choose, bought and planted plants in a garden box by the front door. Everything was done when Janice said it would be (or earlier) and Janice regularly sent me emails with photos of progress. Janice is lovely to deal with, and has a great network of people to call on for a variety of jobs. She oversaw everything personally, nothing was ever too much trouble and she had solutions for everything! It’s impossible to overstate how pleased we are with her services and I highly recommend her.”

“Hi Janice, You are so onto it. Really refreshing.”
“…looks fabulous.”

“Hi Janice, So so happy with your service and have been highly recommending you.”

“Hi Janice, Thanks once again for all your help and support during this process.  It was much appreciated.”
“Wow!!!  That looks so good.  Very impressed.  Big thanks.” – Message in response to pictures sent to show the home with the carpet pulled up and house cleaned ready for real estate photography and sale

“Dear Janice and Stuart, We are so glad we used your service as it has been exemplary.  You explained the process to us very clearly and did everything you said you would. Your communication with us was always timely and comprehensible. The whole procedure was transparent and sensitively handled. We are extremely grateful for all your help and advice.”

“Janice, a huge thank you for all you did yesterday.  It’s miraculous AND the amount of stuff, some if it very heavy, you shifted all by yourself is also miraculous. You are a true gem & so lucky our daughter found you.  Will C U again soon❤.”

“The realtor was  impressed with the amazing changes & amount of work that had been done & I happily told him who’d dunnit with the trusty help of Jude.  Awesome forces had been at work here all done by a gorgeous swan🙄❤.”

“Janice, you are amazing, thank you so much! Can’t wait to see the photos. She (mum) needed the help.”

“Hi Janice thank you so much.  You were so helpful, this last bit would have been such a slog otherwise.  All the best.”

“Thank you for being the right person at the right time and for your generous open energy.  I have woken up from a good night’s sleep clearer, lighter and with direction. Already getting through the projects…Onward and upward thanks to the prospects you have identified and cleared the way to achieve.  I loved my time with you (and the scone and the big blue van) and am grateful for any energy or sense that lead me to pick up the phone and call you.  Your response has been angel dust.  Thank you and have a well-deserved great week.”

“Hi Janice, Thanks so much for the great work you did in making our parent’s property more like the home we remembered it to be.  It was a huge job and I certainly couldn’t have done it physically and emotionally without your support.  We have certainly sung your praises to all our friends who have followed the progress.  I would have cried if I couldn’t laugh about it.  A couple of groups we belong to may contact you to give a talk.  Thanks so much.”

“Hi Janice…We are enjoying the extra space upstairs.  Thank you also for letting me know where the donations have gone: it’s great to know that the items will be put to good use.

I very much appreciate all the work you’ve done to start us on the road to downsizing: it has made a real difference having the help of an experienced professional who is not emotionally involved with the home and contents. Thank you very much for your help with decluttering and organising the other services which were crucial in getting my house ready for sale.”

“Janice, thanks so much we really appreciate all the hard work you guys have put in.  It has certainly helped us tremendously through this process.  It is an absolutely wonderful service you offer and we won’t forget the help you have been. Thank you again.”

“I employed the services of Sort Out Service to help me through the daunting task of moving house after eleven years in residence.  Although I had planned the move for over six months and had started de-cluttering some areas, the final push was very overwhelming and I had been procrastinating for almost two months.  Janice came to my rescue like a guardian angel.  Her common sense approach was the godsend I needed as we worked alongside each other for a solid two days, boxing up excess, cleaning top to bottom and staging my house for sale.  There was no judgment of the mess I had got myself into, and total respect for all my possessions as we discussed what were treasures (to me) and identified what was rubbish. Throughout the process, Janice managed to combine her gentle sense of humour with a determination to keep me focused on the task. Totally recommend Janice and SOS, the best thing I could have done.”

“Hi Janice, thank you soooo much for all your help. You were great to work with, really organised and very caring. You never made me feel bad about anything, but completely relieved my mind and got the job done. Kindest regards.”

“It was great working with Janice, who helped me stage my large home prior to going to market. Having someone to bounce ideas off who is practical and innovative, worked well and we dressed the house using mainly my own possessions along with a few items I purchased and could use in my next property. It was more fun and much quicker working with Janice.
I can highly recommend Janice to anyone needing assistance to get their house ready to sell.”

“I described Sort Out Service as “midwifery for moving” because of the skill doing varied care during a process of deep importance to the client, but I’m not sure if it’s our beloved old home or our family that is being born.”

“Thank you for your help and kindness.”

“Thank you with your support for the house clearance…brilliant!!”
