Downsizing Services in North Vancouver & Greater Vancouver

Serving North Vancouver Since 2008

Downsizing, Donation, Emptying & Follow-Up

Christoph and his NextPhase team gently and efficiently support people in letting go of what’s no longer needed. By donating to a selection of charities and by managing the sale of select items, we help our clients feel lighter and unburdened by “stuff”.

We will also pack treasured pieces and bring them to family members or to storage units as required. If you are also planning a move, our senior moving services can handle the full transition from start to finish.

We empty homes completely and can work with our team of realtors to stage and sell homes whenever needed. For families managing an estate, our estate closing services are available to handle the full clearout process.
