Testimonials

  • “On behalf of Mum and myself, I wish to thank you both for the fantastic effort that you put in to make the whole process more manageable and comfortable for Mum. It is never easy to move, especially for someone getting on in age. A credit to you both on being so caring and empathetic, yet, very professional in your dealings. I think your service went far beyond that we initially discussed and I thank you both for that. Your value cannot be judged in monetary terms alone. I wish you both well in your business venture and there's no doubt that there will be countless people in our shoes who will benefit from your "Handled with Care" approach in years to come.

    RON - Senior Relocation, Cheltenham

  • "Thank you so much for all your hard and productive work, for your honesty and for being so conscientious in finding all the hidden treasures. It has been tougher than we expected, packing up a house with all its memories and reflection of the lives spent among its walls. Your kindness, thoughtfulness and sensitivity has been very much appreciated. Once again we can't thank you enough. We would have never been able to empty the house without your help, and are so glad that the donated items will help various charities and people in need. We've already recommended handledwithcare to our friends."

  • “A big thank you to handledwithcare and to Sara and Michelle who worked their magic in decluttering and preparing my house for sale. Their professionalism and compassion at this very emotional and exhausting time was just what I needed to get me on track and focused. Their enthusiasm and energy for the task at hand was contagious and they both worked tirelessly without a break. I would have no hesitation in recommending handledwithcare, and I wish their team all the very best for the future. I am sure they will go from strength to strength.”

    JAN - Home decluttering and styling, Mt Waverley

  • "Thank you handledwithcare for all your help and guidance during this difficult process. It definitely made things easier for our family and made an overwhelming task seem much more manageable. We were pleased too that we were able to assist so many people in need. I know our mum, who started her life in Australia as an immigrant with very little in the way of material things, would also be happy to know that she had contributed in this way."

    FIONA - Property clear, Caulfield

  • “I chose to employ handledwithcare because a reliable professional person recommended the company to me. I had considered other options but was unsure of the quality of service available and I was reassured by the recommendation and company’s name. Tanya from handledwithcare visited my home, which badly needed decluttering, discussed my needs with me and explained their method of operation. I feel that my needs were very well understood, and I received the highest level of service. Tanya even spent time searching online and shopping for items on my behalf, which I found very helpful. This extra care was certainly a unique approach, and I appreciated that very much. I would certainly recommend handledwithcare to anyone intending to declutter, move house or downsize.”

    JEAN - Home decluttering and styling, Hawthorn

  • "Not only were both Sara and Tanya extremely thoughtful, sensitive and caring when it came to taking the stress out of such an emotionally and physically challenging move, but so too were their team. They all showed impeccable detail to every aspect of our move, leaving nothing for us to do or worry about. There wasn’t anything too much for the handledwithcare team to manage for us, and indeed our move was handled with much care. I would like to thank Sara, Tanya and their entire team for enabling my wife and I to settle so quickly into our new home. We honestly could not have done this without you!"
