Testimonials
“I can only sing her praises! I literally do not know what I would’ve done without her and the skills that she brings. She is definitely the professional we all need when making life changing moves. She is professional in every thing she does. Working with her gave me the confidence I needed when sorting and tossing, for the most part, things I have cherished for decades.
I put my full trust in Allison, and she did not disappoint! I would and will recommend her to anyone contemplating downsizing in their future. I would give her an A+ plus, and a 10 out of a possible 10. She is that good.”
— Carolyn in Danville
“Allison was indispensable in our move. She has an experienced eye in helping to determine what goes and what stays. She is industrious and high-energy, but sensitive to her clients’ needs, especially when making a big move involving significant downsizing. It is a major bonus that she teams up with realtors, movers, and other resources she works with. We quickly became quite dependent on her ideas, quick decisions, flexibility, blazing speed AND patience! She turned another several week process into 4 days. We really did not want to see her leave!”

“I'm writing to express my gratitude and admiration of how you managed the movement of my household from my home of 7 plus years. I began the experience thinking that I would use your services sparingly, but discovered quickly that the organizing which you imposed upon the move reduced my costs and enabled me to meet ambitious deadlines. Thanks in large part to you we vacated the house almost a week early. Hence the house was on the market that much earlier with less stress than would have otherwise happened. Thank you so much, Allison.”
— Walt in San Leandro
“Thank you for the effort which made the house selling into a noble act.”

Having made the decision to move from my four bedroom home to a two bedroom apartment in a nearby retirement community, I was suddenly faced with the need to undertake a major downsizing project. Given that this involved complicated decisions on what to retain and what to let go, it was clear that I needed some help.
Fortunately, I was introduced to Allison Amato by a mutual friend. After a few brief conversations, it became clear that her experience and understanding of the complicated decisions I was facing was just what I needed.
I can report that, thanks to Allison and her team, the move has been successfully completed and I am settling into my new home with few regrets.

“Working with Allison was the jumpstart I needed. She could see my cluttered home was overwhelming, and it was; affecting my thoughts, my mood, and outlook. Allison is an excellent listener, compassionate, and makes her clients feel heard and part of the conversation. She recognized the mental agony I was going through. I didn’t realize how much that was wearing my mind and soul down. I was pleasantly surprised at how much better I felt after our first session together.
What meant the most was that she didn’t judge me. I knew my adult daughter would be judging me with every item she picked up. Also, thinking my daughter was the only one who could help was another reason I kept putting off decluttering.
To tell you the truth, I really couldn’t have done this with anybody else. Allison is so calmly reaching out her hand saying, “come with me and we will go down the yellow brick road together!” She made me feel like I could breathe again. I could have visitors again. She inspired me to keep my home from getting that bad ever again.”

“Allison was amazing to work with. My husband and I wanted some help organizing and cleaning out years of accumulated belongings in anticipation of our family's move to a new home. Allison exceeded our expectations! She helped with everything from discussing and defining our goals, coming up with a strategy for how to improve the aesthetics and functionality of our current space, physically sorting through dusty boxes, bins, closets, paperwork, etc., and organizing the contents or recommending what to discard. She even moved furniture around with us and packed up donation items. I really appreciated her fresh perspective and enthusiasm for the work, but on top of that she was kind and understanding and made us comfortable throughout the process. She left us with a plan for keeping the momentum going forward and a cleaner, nicer home. I would strongly recommend her to anyone!”
