Meet Amy, Suzanne and Sara

2018

Three women met and knew there was a better way to revolutionize the downsizing process.  Together they started doing local online auctions to help people sell their most valuable items and realized that the downsizing process can be a very emotional situation. Offering guidance and support with a smile is crucial to making the situation less stressful.  Downsize Managers' core value is to ensure people feel secure and cared for while downsizing in the most efficient and environmentally conscious way.

Downsize Managers was Founded

2018

Downsize Managers was founded to guide people with downsizing from start to finish, whether it be for themselves or a loved one. All around the world, people are in transition – going back to the basics, moving on to a new stage of life, welcoming a simpler life by letting go of things that they don't have a use for anymore.  

Downsize Managers' take great pride in partnering with people through the process of downsizing by being honest which allows for complete transparency

Things Matter was Born!

2022

Evolving to an even higher standard, Things Matter was founded to incorporate the principles of the circular economy into our mission.  As a company, we both contribute to the good of the world and do good business. And we do that by creating meaningful work for people and things in transition in a way that is socially responsible and environmentally sustainable. The key to our approach lies in understanding how people and objects are connected, how one thing can be the bridge to another thing. This has enabled us to create an ecosystem for people and things in transition in a caring way. It’s not just a job, it’s a calling.

Circular Economy

Things Matter and Downsize Managers are committed to incorporating the principles of the circular economy into their mission.

By bringing together individuals, communities, and purpose-driven organizations, revolutionizes the downsizing experience.

Through auctions and donations, previously owned items get a new lease on life, while also promoting sustainability and social welfare.
