By the time my mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's it was already pretty clear that she could no longer take care of herself and would need to move into a retirement community. However, with me being the only family she has, us living 3 hours apart, and my career being extremely demanding at the time, the stress of trying to coordinate downsizing, moving and selling her house all on my own, and in the middle of a pandemic, was more than I wanted to take on. Gordon's Downsizing was suggested to me as a one-stop shop that could take care of all of it. I spoke with Barry Gordon, and he clearly explained the process to me and answered all of my questions, to the point that I was satisfied they would be the right service to engage. Now that everything is done, I can confidently say it was the right decision. From the expert care with packing all of my mother's very valuable antiques and furniture, setting up her new apartment beautifully to make it look like home as soon as she walked in the door, auctioning off the remaining items in the home and to finally selling the house, it all went seamlessly, only requiring very manageable involvement from me. Even when my mother required relocating yet again very soon after the first move, due to needing greater care than originally anticipated, and moving her to an entirely different city to be closer to me, it was a painless experience. Lastly, I really appreciate the patience shown when it ended up taking much longer than I anticipated to be able to give the final go ahead to sell the house. And despite the downturn in the market by that time, they were still able to secure a selling price I was satisfied with. In conclusion, I would recommend Gordon's Downsizing without hesitation!

After our father passed away, mom was left in a 6,000 sq. ft house on her own packed to the rafters on 3 levels. Gordon's helped us help our mother come to terms with downsizing by calming her anxieties over moving and having to let go of her home and many of her possessions. This is something that would not have been possible without their calming advice and plan. Gordon's helped mom find a new home, worked with her on deciding what to take, sorted, packed, moved and unpacked her in her new home and got her completely settled. Then they expertly tackled the enormous job of emptying the house with 2 online auctions, preparing the home for sale and then selling it in just 2 weeks for $105,000 over the asking price. Fast forward 4 years, mom passed away in 2020 and Gordon's was our first call to arrange real estate and personal property appraisals for the probate application, allowing us to start the estate settlement process quickly. Once family had taken the things bequeathed to them and other personal items from the house, we turned the keys over to Gordon's. The Gordon's team took over and sold the remaining items in the house in an online auction, emptied, cleaned and prepared the home for sale and sold it in 7 days for $52,000 above the listing price. Words to describe the Gordon's team would include professional, compassionate, patient, hard working, honest and trustworthy. When it is my turn to downsize and sell my home, I will be calling Gordon's again.

It's hard to summarize how thankful I am for the assistance and leadership Gordon's provided me and my siblings after the quick passing of my Dad. We were tasked with a HUGE job. The property housed 40 years worth of stuff, passed down by generations before. As an exhausted caregiver who was deeply grieving, I decided life was too short and fragile to take this on without expert help. We had another auction company come take a look and told us we had to ship what we wanted to sell to them, and left us feeling defeated and unsupported. We had over 300 outboards, 40+ vehicles, and so much more. The first meeting with Barry was the day I breathed a sign of relief. He never faltered at the enormous task this estate would be. He welcomed the challenge. Cathy and her crew got to work fast and surprised us with how fast they cleaned out stuff, while sorting and organizing sellable items for auction. We did so well at the auctions and felt peace knowing items were going to others for use and not the landfill. Cathy always kept me informed and was a gem to deal with. Manson and Don strategically marketed the home and sold it within 7 days, over asking, and multiple offers. They were a pleasure to work with. Gordon's knows exactly what they are doing. They are the whole package. I strongly suggest people look into Gordon's. They give you what is truly valuable; Your Time. They truly do help you move on!

My husband Gerald Johnsrude and I downsized from a 4 bedroom , 4 bathroom home in Kingston which also had a finished basement to a downtown apartment with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Right from the first visit from Barry Gordon to when the last packer and mover left our apartment, we were treated like very special guests . Amazing service Our real estate agent ,Sherry Mayhew , was professional , understanding and very kind and kept us in the loop with daily updates . We also had exceptional care from Cathy Gordon who organized the actual move. The day of the move , 7 packers arrived on time at 9 am and were finished early afternoon .They worked so well as a team and we were impressed that they never stopped till they had a fast lunch at noon ....not even a coffee break ! The movers arrived at 1130 and shrink wrapped every bit of furniture before loading on the truck so no damage. Gordons had booked the elevator at our apartment for 830 the following morning and by the time Jerry and I arrived , they had already unloaded several boxes . Th unpacking was all done by 1 pm ...and everything put away .....even beds made ! The movers were very courteous to the tenants on our floor and when an elevator was required even though one was booked , the movers took the tenants down so there was no waiting . We highly recommend Gordons Downsizing and Real Estate service .

After my father passed away, my mom was left alone in a big house with a lot of maintenance, stairs and other challenges. She did not want to spend her remaining years worrying about upkeep. She moved to a lovely retirement community, but packing up a lifetime of memories was overwhelming. Having used Gordon's to clear out my late SIL house, we knew precisely who to call! Gordon's handled everything - they helped her pick out the pieces she needed in her new place by doing a floor plan, they packed up the house and moved her, then unpacked when she got there. They even hung pics and curtains for her. Everyone - Barry, Cathy, Sue and the packing team and moving crew were so wonderful and responsive to her needs. They arranged the auction and took care of all disposals. Then Sherry came in and sold the house for over asking! It has truly been a life changing experience for mom, and she is so happy she trusted Gordon's to help her through it. And we are so grateful too that moms experience was problem free, and a smooth transition from one stage of life to another. A big thank you from all the family to Gordon's for their services!

I had been considering downsizing from a huge old house to a small condominium for the past five years or so. I found the very thought of it to be daunting, especially dealing with the contents of a life well lived and a house well loved for 20+ years. I screwed up my courage and contacted Gordon's Downsizing to discuss my plans. From that first meeting with Barry Gordon, I knew that I had made the right decision. I was assured that I could use as many or as few of their services to assist with the downsize as I needed. From the listing of the property, through the showings and final sale, to packing and moving, to the online auction for disposal of contents that were not moving to the new location, to a final cleaning of the house and outbuildings; each step of the way was led by compassionate, friendly, professionals who advised me and helped make a very complicated and stressful experience seamless. Downsizing is NOT EASY but Gordon's made it possible for me. I certainly could not have done it without them. I highly recommend their services to anyone needing to move on. Thank you Gordon's Team

One year ago today, my mother moved into a retirement home. She joined my father there, who had been moved three months previously into full-assisted care in the same facility. My mother’s decision to drastically downsize, sell the family home, and make this move meant that she and the family were faced with the enormous task of sorting and purging, packing, and readying the home for selling. It was overwhelming, and we wisely realized that professional help was needed to get everything done with the least amount of stress for everyone involved. So we interviewed three companies who specialize in facilitating seniors’ moves and decided to engage the services of Gordon’s Downsizing and Estate Services. We were extremely happy with our decision. Gordon’s took care of everything that had to be done at the house, the move to the new home was smooth and stress-free, and the house was sold quickly for a good price. The professionalism, care, work ethic, depth of knowledge, and positive attitude shown by all the nice people at Gordon’s was excellent.

When my father suddenly passed away I initially tried to handle everything myself, which as the only child not to mention living hours away, was overwhelming to say the least. On top of simply trying to come to grips with the emotions of the loss, there are all the other things that have to get done -- the funeral, probate, estate filings, property bills, sorting house contents, ... the list goes on. Being able to rely on the team from Gordon's for their expert advice during such a time was a great relief. Not only did they handle the contents of the house -- putting aside items based on a rough explanation of what I wanted to keep, sorting saleable items into lots for auction based on efficiency, donating what could be donated, and disposing of the rest -- they managed the property while the probate process completed and then managed the sale. Everything went smoothly and it allowed me the time to be with my family instead of driving back and forth. Thank you Gordon's for everything.

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.

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!

I wish to thank all the staff at Gordon' Downsizing & Estate Services: For their patience, respect, and understanding in dealing with our aging mother. For their understanding and for always being there and offering to assist us with all the unforeseen circumstances that arose during the sale of our mother’s home. Their promptness and willingness to assist us no matter what the issue was greatly appreciated. For their professionalism and advice based on their years’ of experience in real estate. It went a long way in helping us to make all the decisions we needed to make during this process. My husban and I will definitely use Gordon's when the time comes for us to downsize and sell our home.

On behalf of my Mother and my family I wish to take this opportunity to thank Gordon's Team for their excellent professional service and support during the downsizing and sale of my Mother’s home when she was admitted into Long Term Care. It is a very emotional and difficult journey for a family to take. Gordon's advice, understanding, gentle leadership, patience and kindness during this journey was truly appreciated. I would personally recommend this Professional Team for they truly are as advertised a "one-stop shop for all your downsizing, move management and transition needs." Rose Bell Kingston Ontario

The services provided by Gordon's were indispensable when my mom was transitioning from her home to a retirement facility last year. We couldn't be happier with the outcome of the house sale and the auction of many of her items. 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 all by ourselves, and the sorting/moving or selling her possessions, in was easily one of the best decisions we made. Highly recommended!

What a difference these folks made to my move! Leaving a huge house with 20 years of accumulated stuff was exhausting as well as emotionally difficult. Just the thought of it was awful. Gordon's quietly and efficiently took charge and got it done, including auctioning off my surplus belongings. I couldn't have asked for better service. Everyone, including Kathy Gordon, the sorters & packers, and the movers were so kind and helpful. I can't say the move was not stressful, but far less so than if Gordon's had not been involved. Thank you so much to all of you for your advice and help. You were awesome!

The sale of my house went very smoothly, with excellent advice being offered by Don as to what price should be asked, and his reasoning for it. It was a pleasure being able to participate in the write-up for the listing and the very detailed pamphlet that was produced for prospective buyers. Don was very easy to communicate with at all times, which was greatly appreciated and the whole transaction was handled very professionally. The house was marketed at a very just price, and the price was met. It was a painless process and I would highly recommend Gordon's to anyone for selling their home.

Fantastic! It is an awful experience to be forced to move especially through no fault of your own. Gordon'd babied us through. No judgements were passed, no impatience shown with seniors having to deal with this event. Everything was clarified. Everyone was respectful. From top to bottom each individual treated us with kindness and understanding. We came to. be very fond of Manson Silk who would sit and visit without making us feel like we were holding him up. Everything was efficient. The day of the move was organized. We were kept informed of everything happening. Elaine Sidlauskas.

We used Gordon's for our Mom twice. The first move was from her house to a retirement home. She was anxious and there was a HUGE amount of possessions to be gone through. Gordon's management and staff were supportive of her and offered us a thorough in explanation of the process. Then the staff were very efficient in managing the sale and the move. All went better than we expected. The second move was to a long term care facility. It wad important to us to have this move be as smooth as the first. It was! We could not have asked for a better system. Thanks, Gordon's!!

My mother has Parkinson's and is terribly frail. Gordon's managed the entire pack and move process from a retirement home to a nursing home perfectly. The day after the move-in, everything looked so perfect that you'd swear she had lived in the new place for years. They were courteous and careful, and kept me posted throughout the entire process, from planning through to execution, which was critical because I live outside the country. I would highly recommend Gordon's any time you need to move, especially with a senior. Thank you, Cathy and the Gordon's team!

OMG. Gordons packed me up today - two days after my Mom passed away - and a day before I'm driving west with my little dog to relocate to Campbell River BC. Julie and her team breezed through my 700 sq.ft. place with ease, professionalism and care. In and out in just under 4/5 hrs, my peace of mind was so needed prior to the moving van arriving the next day. I know all my things will arrive safe 'n sound. Thanks to Cathy and the Gordon's team, my move will be effortless (except the drive ;-) Thank you!!!! >Donna

We have moved 5 or 6 times in our lives. Always supervised by my husband's employer. This was a move I would have to handle by myself, due to my husband's ill health. I had heard of Gordon's Estates and how they did everything from packing up our belongings to selling our home. They did everything and more. I would highly recommend Gordon's if you are facing a move. And no, we are not related in any way with Gordon's Estates. Great company, great staff. Sandra Gordon

Our recent move from a large home to a smaller house in a new city was much smoother as a result of our decision to engage Gordon's to help with the transition. From selling our home to helping organize the move to post-move support, Gordon's deep experience was evident throughout the whole process. And all of the Gordon's team members we dealt with were unfailingly helpful and supportive. If and when we move again, our first call will be to Gordon's.

I worked with Gordon's for both of my parents' estates, and I'm genuinely not sure how I could have handled the process without them. I can't possibly recommend them enough. Every person we interacted with was kind, mindful, & efficient. They went above & beyond for my family in times of great stress-- no-one else even came close to being as helpful. Incredibly reliable & competent in all areas, & I would advise working with them on anything.

We couldn’t have moved without the help of Gordon’s. With no family left in Edmonton, it was time to move closer to our daughter and her family in Toronto. She put us in touch with Gordon’s. We began the moving process and, after 42 years in our home, left Edmonton with our two cats and were on our way in five weeks to Toronto. Without the help of Gordon’s, we couldn’t possibly have handled a cross country move in only five weeks.

There are so many good things to say about this company. I had an impossibly huge task ahead of me and they took on the many tasks in a very organized fashiion. Everyone was quick to respond, help and offer advice. In the end I needed even more help and they were quick to jump in and do so. Everyone was friendly, caring and helpful. I cannot say enough good things about this company and would highly recommend them.

The entire Gordon's team was fantastic and I am incredibly grateful for the assistance with my mother's move and the sale of the property. Other than the circumstances necessitating the move and sale, it was an incredibly positive experience and the customer service was second to none. There was clear guidance and full transparency throughout the entire process, I would highly recommend their services.

Absolute wonderful experience with Gordon’s Downsizing & Estate Services Ltd. Manson Slik and the entire team at Gordon’s helped my Mom and our family sell her home and get settled in a new community. They were there every step of the way with patience, expertise and kindness. I would recommend Gordon’s without reservation and if I could award six stars, I would - thank you Gordon’s!

When my father passed away my family knew how much caregiving I had done for him for so many years. My siblings both live out of province and when they suggested your services I was so very happy. Everything was done beautifully and even in the middle of a pandemic they sold my father’s house. I would refer their services to anyone because the staff truly cares for their clients.

Working with the team at Gordon's to sell this property was nothing short of stunning. I've been buying and selling real estate all my life and yet it felt as though I'd never actually worked with a realtor before. Everybody knew what they were doing and they knew what each other was doing. From planning, through execution and delivery, honestly - every step was flawless.

To the folks at Gordon's, I just wanted to thank you for a great and professional job! Everything went as planned and promised, or even better. Also, the auction was organized and conducted very efficiently. In my situation, it was a big plus to handle many things by email and electronic documents. I would highly recommend you for any real estate sales or purchases.

Gordon’s Estate Services helped me when my parents had to move into a care home. I was completely overwhelmed by the thought of organizing, packing and selling everything in the apartment. Kathy and her team were fantastic from start to finish. Having professionals to help you organize and take on the heavy lifting was invaluable. I cannot recommend them enough.

I highly recommend any and all services that Gordon’s offer. They have helped me downsize, relocate and set up my last three moves. Utilizing Gordon’s services is one stop shopping at its best! Friendly, professional staff, reliable movers and competitive prices. Give them a call when you are moving or need help downsizing... you won’t be sorry! Marie Edwards

Kudos to Gordon's and their partners in Sudbury for all the help provided in the downsizing of our parent's home. They made what seemed like an overwhelming task into something manageable during a difficult time. Every step of the way there was transparency and open communication. I would not hesitate to recommend Gordon's to family or friends in the future.

Sometimes very nice people, other quite rude. Sometimes decent presentation and pics other time the reality totally different from the pics. I wish at least the pics are showing better details and better focus. Edit: We worked together on MaxSold. I participated at quite a few of your Estate Auctions there. I am pretty sure you are the same Gordon.

I would most definitely use Gordon’s again. It was an extremely smooth process with not a single issue. They looked after everything and answered every concern. I live four hours away which made it difficult to handle all aspects of this estate but I felt totally comfortable with the Gordon team of professionals. Gordon’s did an amazing job.

We are very satisfied with all of the work that Gordon's has done for us, from Barry to Cathy to Manson and all of the lovely hardworking ladies. They were always available for any questions we might have and ready to solve them. We would recommend them any time for any of your downsizing issues. Sincerely Wayne and Judith.

As the sale of my dad’s condo has just closed, I wanted to drop you a note of thanks for all the fantastic service your team has provided. From the contents sale thru selling the condo everything has been handled so well and things were made so easy for me, I would recommend your services in a heartbeat. Great job!

Following the death of my mother, the team at Gordon’s handled everything for my family from holding an online auction to clearing out everything that we didn’t want from the house, to selling it in a week over asking. They made a stressful and upsetting time much less so and I can’t recommend them enough!!

I've used Gordon's twice now and both times they did a great job of managing the liquidation of an estate. They did everything from selling the house and it's contents to providing an evaluation of the value of the house contents to managing the property while it sat empty waiting for the sale to close.

Made an experience that was overwhelming an extremely smooth and efficient experience. They handle everything, from online auction to condo cleaning, to setting up my dad’s new home in a new city, to selling his condo. All the details were covered well within the estimated cost. Thank you, Gordon’s!

We downsized after 50 years in same house. Gordon's moved us 4 months ago to a condo. We were very lucky to find them. We were very anxious prior to moving. However a great percentage of our stress was alleviated by Don, Sandy and her team. A great tranquilizer!! Highly recommended. Moira and Steven

I have been referring Gordon's Downsizing and Estate Services for many years. They provide exceptional service, personalized advice and always live up to their promises. It is reassuring to be able to put our trust in a company such as Gordon's and have them deliver every single time.

We couldn’t be happier with our purchasing experiences with Marty. He is very professional, available and highly knowledgeable of the Kingston market. Marty has now helped us purchase two homes and went above and beyond each time to find us the perfect property. Thank you Marty!

It was a great relief for me when Gordon’s took over the sale of my Aunt’s home and contents. They were respectful of her wishes and kept in constant contact with me regarding the sale of her estate. They made my role as an Executer an easier task. I highly recommend them.

Thank you to the team - we couldn't have done it without you!  The Gordon's Team was respectful, thoughtful, and handled everything beautifully for my mom while I was supporting her downsize at a distance.  With the Gordon's on the ground, they helped us all move forward.

Thanks to Gordon's for the help with my dad's move. There was a lot of stress and chaos around the move but your team helped with a smooth transition. The retirement home staff was also super impressed with the work done. Would recommend.

I am in constant awe of how efficiently, effectively, and thoughtfully the Gordon's Team handled everything for us after the death of our father. I don't know what we would have done without them. Highly recommended! Thank you so much!

We were very impressed with the service we received during our move from beginning to end. Everyone of the employees were very friendly and efficient which made for a very smooth move. I would not hesitate to recommend the whole team.

Gordons did the impossible--packed and moved my mother out of her home of 65 years. We could never have done it without them and everything was done with utmost sensitivity and professionalism. Can't recommend them highly enough.

Barry Gordon presented a webinar to our not-for-profit group on preparations for downsizing. Very informative and well received by our members. I wouldn't hesitate to work with Gordon's Downsizing and Estate services again.

"Thank you for your assistance over the past year. You've made the experience of managing our late father's estate so much smoother. We appreciate everything you did for us. You really went above and beyond!"

We were very pleased with our experience with Gordon’s. We had a small window to get things done and Marty was fantastic at attending to every detail. We would highly recommend your services.

Excellent service! Your company helped our family so much in what would’ve been an extremely complicated move. We can’t thank you enough for your professionalism.

As a professional executor, I loved what Gordon's accomplished for me on a recent real estate project for the estate. I will be using them again in future!

The services they provide are professional & very helpful! I've hired them myself & have only good things to say! MaxSold is fun & totally legit!

Professional and thorough, managing all stages effectively. The family was satisfied with the solid results.

Great service, well organized. attentive to needs of client, relieved the pressure of a move and downsizing

Excellent service. Our dealings with Gordan's could not have been better.

Unfortunately the listed properties are not on the Mls website.

An amazingly caring and detail oriented company

Great staff and excellent service.

Very helpful staff
