Simplicity Services

Vicky Sim of Simplicity Services was recommended to me when I was personally unable to cope with packing up and disposing of all my possessions, prior to moving home. She dealt with the mammoth task calmly and sensitively.  She sorted and packed very efficiently and methodically. She then referred to an endless list of dealers and institutions to dispose of everything. Vicky is every bit a professional and I highly recommend her services.

I came across Vicky Sim quite by accident, at a time when I was desperately trying to encourage my mother to start packing up the home she had been in for 23 years. Where my mother was disinclined to take encouragement and advice from her daughter, she found it easier to do so from this compassionate, encouraging, but firm, “stranger”. With my living in Cape Town, it was such a relief and a blessing to know there was someone professional, trustworthy and efficient in Durban to oversee the early phases of packing and identifying what was to be kept and what was to be disposed of. Her list of appropriate third parties to assist where required was also invaluable. She was scrupulous in keeping me updated during the weeks prior to my arrival. I do not know how we would have managed it all without her assistance and I highly recommend her service.

I enlisted Vicky’s help to assist my father in decluttering and organising the family home. Having long since flown the nest and moved abroad, it was a relief to learn about a professional organiser who has experience working with seniors who are looking to simplify and downsize. Vicky established a rapport of trust with my father and this enabled her to work with him as an engaged and motivated team player. Vicky handled the whole process with respect and sensitivity and with her guidance and regular contact and goal setting as well as updates on progress, the declutter job was diligently completed. What seemed daunting and overwhelming initially, became manageable and even enjoyable with Vicky’s help. Well done and thank you Vicky. This was a huge job! We are so grateful for your time, energy, kindness and expertise.

Vicky is simply amazing. She helped me clear out my late father’s house and was so efficient yet compassionate during a difficult time. I would absolutely recommend her.

Vicky helped us to declutter & bring order to my office and was very efficient & well organised. I highly recommend Simplicity Services for any home/office decluttering needs. Thanks Vicky and we look forward to working with you in the future!

Vicky is amazing! She is non-judgmental and so professional. She is helping me turn my home into a decluttered, tranquil space. I really recommend her!!

Thank you so much, Vicky

Vicky is truly incredible and I cannot recommend her and her company highly enough. She helped us clear a house filled with four decades worth of things in a matter of days. She is exceptionally professional, efficient and responsive and made an immensely difficult task straightforward and achievable. Vicky combines sensitivity for the difficult task of clearing a house with an amazing work pace. She kept us constantly updated and her network of contacts made it easy to work through a range of issues like selling furniture or scanning photographs. We had despaired at the thought of clearing such a large house but Vicky took care of everything.  Her work was superb and we feel so fortunate to have found Vicky and her company online.

Vicky helped my husband to sort, organise, pack up, give away and move an entire household in less than two weeks! She lovingly and patiently helped my mother-in-law to choose what clothing/linen/paintings etc would go with her to the senior residence, organised the different charities and auction house to collect, and packed up everything! All while remaining calm in the chaos, and helping the family manage a very tough transition. Vicky, you will need to visit us in Cape Town – thank you so much for all your patience and dedication.

For me packing up my flat with its lifetime collection of things has been such an amazingly painless process.  And what is more, I know you have done everything as well or better than I could have done it myself had I been well enough. You had excellent ideas of where things could go and contacts with people who would be interested in buying or receiving things. You were so careful to check every step with me and to make sure my wishes are respected. I do hope this business of yours takes off, since it is such a good service.

Just wanted to let you know the filing system is working extremely well, it is keeping me so organised and filing is a pleasure now and the flow is really good. Everyone is so impressed that I can find things at the drop of a hat while moving. Thanks again for getting this done with me, it was definitely worth the investment.
