Downsizing and Decluttering in 2026

How Sort & Simple Supports Life’s Big Transitions


It’s a new year and for many of us, this means big plans! Downsizing. Estate clearing. Maybe a move you’ve been putting off for years. 


But then, you look around your home and think, “Wow. I have SO much stuff!” and your enthusiasm fades. Your brain gets bogged down in the decisions. You don’t know where to start, so you decide not to start at all.

What if 2026 was the year you broke this cycle? Instead of getting overwhelmed and giving up on your plans, call Sort & Simple! Working with our Professional Organizers can change everything. 


We take the stress and strain out of sorting through all your belongings and organizing the logistics. This is what we love to do, and we can make this seemingly impossible task enjoyable for you too!


Decluttering & Downsizing Support That Actually Works


We are a client-led, supportive, and enthusiastic team of Professional Organizers in Edmonton who are on your side every step of the way.


  1. You stay confidently in the drivers seat:


  • We are a judgment-free zone! Our Organizers never see a mess. They see potential.

  • We help you make smart decisions, while being compassionate and understanding. 

  • You will never feel rushed or pressured. We work at your pace. 

  • We simplify the decluttering process. This means, you decide what stays and we take care of the items to go. 


  1. We understand the emotional side of decluttering.

When you work with us, you get a local decluttering team who understands that transitions are emotional. We often see clients who feel overwhelmed, guilty, or unsure where to start. 


Our team loves to help people move through those initial feelings of doubt toward complete satisfaction in a job well done. By the end of the first session, our clients feel lighter, more confident, and amazed by the amount of progress they’ve made! 


  1. We take care of all the logistics so you don’t have to.
