Frequently
Asked Questions
Here are some of the questions we typically get when we chat with our clients and reassure them about the process ahead.
Do You Clean As Well?
Elbow grease is fundamental to transforming someone’s home. Frankly, a good clean also delivers a serve of psychological magic as our clients get their heads around their next move. We strongly recommend cleaning services as part and parcel of packing up or restyling and our reliable team can help you see new possibilities as they deliver the sparkle! Contact info@goingplaces.com.au to have a chat about getting clean before and after you pack.
The place hasn’t been sorted in years. How do we start?
We are the checklist queens at Going Places! We have well tested forms to work through with you and to help organize your questions, planning and thinking about your move or restyle.
Talking it through and using our experience and expertise to plan your next home stage will instantly make the process feel more manageable. We know that personal consultation is the only way to get things done well.
So talk to us first and we can explain about the way we manage each stage.
How do you manage decluttering while we are still living there?
This process is one of the most common services that we offer. Our team is repeatedly complimented for our sensitivity and efficiency as we work in, and around, our client needs. We can arrange to come in on a day while the residents have an outing or simply plan our packing and decluttering around the space as the client relaxes at home. Again, the key to success here is in the organization- and our coordinator will manage the process for decision-making and removals in advance to ensure an efficient and rewarding declutter-day.

Moving is both time consuming and stressful, especially as I work to a hectic travel schedule, with endless deadlines.
Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.We thought we were hiring a packer but with Donna we got so much more than that. I was 9 months pregnant on bed rest and my husband was working 24/7 when we moved house. Donna was incredibly hard working, extremely organised and seemed to have sorted our entire life out during the time she was with us. She packed up the entire house, helped organise movers and unpacked everything perfectly. It’s been 2 years since we moved but I still think of Donna often and how incredibly helpful and knowledgeable she was during a stressful and difficult time in our life. Thank you Donna!Rosie Hamilton15 November 2023Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.I was overwhelmed by household goods, including 80 boxes, from a deceased estate. Donna from Going Places was fantastic with hands on help, using her networks to set up contacts and offering solutions to problems. She was ordered and calm and made the task manageable, and followed up to see if anything further was needed. I highly recommend her and Going Places!!Lois Diamond9 November 2022Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Donna from Going Places was amazing, She was so organised and calm and made my home look amazing. She was able to declutter and style my home sympathetically. It still felt like home but increased the appeal to buyers. Thank you Donna and the Going Places team.Lorraine Axford7 November 2022Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Donna and her company came highly recommended by a friend and she assisted with packing up my late sister's home. Donna's communication was excellent, she understood the brief (ie these types of items for donation, these to be packed and stored, these to disposed of) and worked efficiently, sensitively and thoughtfully throughout this difficult task. All items were packed well and with care. Donna's kind manner and commitment to delivering what's best for her customers is really quite exceptional. I would highly recommend Donna and her company. Thank you Donna!Tammy Williams7 November 2022Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Recommended to us by a friend, we sought Donna's services to help us as we prepared to move my elderly mum from her home of 50+ years. The timing and circumstances were awful. My dad was dying when we started the process and the actual move took place only 6 weeks after he died. We cannot recommend Donna more highly. She was so efficient and organised, a veritable wealth of knowledge and contacts, sensitive to our situation and needs, considerate, kind and incredibly hard-working. She was really generous to us in so many ways, with her time, but via her whole approach to us. She may run Going Places as a business, but she is genuinely caring and passionate about what she does. Donna is also highly integrous and trustworthy, rare attributes. Whilst we, as a family, had done much behind the scenes to get things ready in the many months leading up, Donna's calm and gentle manner, the fact that she was not emotionally involved, her experience and insight about what to do - these things all helped us practically, but also eased the emotional load massively for what we were managing. We are very grateful. She drew on her team as needed but on the actual moving day, it was Donna who was with us all day, working long hours to ensure that all the practical things that could be done were done and mum was set up well. She also organised to take several of my parents' belongings that were worth selling to auction houses - where as we might have just given things away or put it in the "too-hard basket" and left it for another day/ time. I could sit here and write all day about all the little things she did to help us. I have recommended Donna several times over now to friends with similar needs. Truly, we are so grateful for the way she supported us during such a challenging time and, again, I could not recommend her more highly.Jennifer Jones27 January 2022Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Donna and her team did a wonderful job in clearing out and organising a lifetime's worth of clutter! Her team is trustworthy and professional, and Donna herself made sure the job was completed properly. Has lightened my burden considerably.Weller Zheng11 September 2021Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.We faced the unenviable task of cleaning out our parents' house in which they had lived for over 60 years. Being organised hoarders, where to start was the dilemma. Thankfully a friend recommended Donna and her team at Going Places Sydney. They embraced the task at hand and within days had decluttered the whole house. Every item was carefully reviewed and classified for resale, charity or, as last resort, rubbish. Donna simplified the task, with due care and sentiment. What seemed an impossible task became a carefully managed process. Going Places exceeded our expectations and we would recommend their services without any reservations.Duncan Bathgate22 July 2021Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Donna has helped us with two house moves recently and we found her services to be exceptional and a great help to us downsizing, decluttering, packing and styling. Donna was at all time caring with our family treasures, knowledgeable, resourceful, courteous and efficient. We could not have managed our downsize after 37 years in one home without Donna's help. Thank you DonnaGrahame Hamilton6 July 2021Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Donna recently helped my mother-in-law downsize from her home of 51 years. We could not recommend her highly enough. She was amazing to work with. She managed the process so efficiently, packing and finding a home for everything whether it was coming to the new home or going to a charity or even a pet shelter. Above all, she managed the whole process with a smile on her face and with amazing compassion. We would have been lost without her. Thanks Donna!Fiona Ward3 July 2021Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Donna was an absolute God-send! So patient, kind and a true professional. She helped us clear out and organize a two bedroom apartment of a reclusive relative. It was so well done - you’d hardly know it was the same place. She was recommended to us and we have recommended her quite a few times since.Loucineh Mardirossian1 July 2021
