"Joanna Cady has a deep and extensive knowledge of the value of a wide spectrum of vintage items (furniture, art, linens, dishes, silverware, etc) and was able to apply this with great skill in conducting a tasteful and successful estate sale. She assembled a remarkable team of experts in appraising the many vintage items. She bent over backwards to accommodate our needs and to make the process of the estate sale go smoothly. "

"Amazing experience! As the executor of an estate, I knew I had to have a sale, but I was clueless about what to do. Fortunately, I connected with Joanna Cady and her team at Savvy Downsizing & Estate Sales. They took care of everything - starting five days before the sale began to make all the preparations. There was never a hitch, and the sale was a great success. This couldn't have happened without them, and I strongly recommend them for their professionalism, courtesy, and knowledge. Kudos!"

"“Joanna and the Savvy team were excellent to work with. Professional, knowledgeable, business-savvy, and hardworking – a winning combination. It is a pleasure to work with on a personal level, which makes a difference when parting with family heirlooms and belongings. Outstanding from first to last!”

“My family would HIGHLY recommend Savvy Downsizing and Estate Sales! Our parent’s home was packed with stuff, and they did an outstanding job of weeding through all of it and ensuring everything was accessed and appraised properly. The presentation at the sale was extremely impressive, given the amount of items! They handle the entire process with grace, given the emotions attached to our family estate. I could not have asked for a better team than Joanna and her team! I feel like I made a few more friends in the process.”

“Thank you, Joanna, for the recommendations, the hard work, and the care you show for Mom's estate."

“Joanna and the entire team did an amazing job! Several weeks ago, we were searching for an organization to conduct an estate sale for the family matriarch and her 100 years of accumulations. We read the overwhelmingly positive, glowing comments and chose them for our project. What a great decision! The large talented team arrived on a Monday and worked thoroughly, steadily, and sensitively for four days before the sale identifying, organizing, and staging hundreds of pieces of art, furniture, clothing, and kitchen/dining items. The sale was a fabulous success and after the sale, the team worked with us to ensure that the remaining items found a good home. The entire process was enjoyable and fulfilling and we enthusiastically recommend Savvy to anyone who needs to move on from a family's home or downsize into a smaller home.”

“Joanna and her team were top-notch. They came highly recommended to me and now I know why. The team worked tirelessly and my sale went very smoothly. I feel so much lighter having used them. They reassured me through the process that I was in good hands and I really was. Savvy even provided a list of names for consignment and donation for whatever did not sell. Everyone they recommended came on time and did a wonderful job. "

Elaine R.
““A++ service, and I am an extremely tough grader. Joanna and the team did an incredible job in a short amount of time. They were flawless from the first time I met with Joanna to the execution of the estate sale. Communication was impeccable, responsiveness was impeccable, and professionalism was impeccable. I cannot recommend them highly enough. It was a tough time for my family, and knowing I could trust Joanna and the team with my parents’ life possessions gave me comfort. I am also not a very trusting person, and my gut told me to trust, and I was not disappointed in the end. I will be recommending them to all of my contacts.”

Carol S.
“Can't say enough positives about Joanna. She was professional, responsive, knowledgeable, and performed beyond my expectations. Her assistants were pleasant and worked tirelessly. "
