I was referred to Heather to assist with clearing out a large property after the owner passed away. This home had been untouched for months, and was packed virtually floor to ceiling with everything from furniture, clothing, personal effects, garbage, family heirlooms, and even some very valuable art earmarked for museums. It was an overwhelming job, but within days Heather and her team had whipped everything into shape, sorted all the items, organized an estate sale, and smartly disposed of everything else as appropriate – to art storage, to family members, to donations, and to the dump. As I prepared the house for market, she continued to assist in supervising yard and house cleanup. It was truly a herculean task, and Heather approached every aspect with great resourcefulness and good cheer. Within a few weeks I was able to bring the clean and empty house to market where we received multiple offers. We never could have done it without Heather!

Everyone hears that moving is one of the life’s most stressful events. After a divorce and selling my house, I was nearly paralyzed with what lay ahead. Heather came in with the perfect combination of ideas, execution and support. A tireless worker, she miraculously packed 20 boxes in the first five hours. But what really makes her work a tremendous value is her creativity, organizational skills and “bedside manner.” It felt great to know she had my back throughout the whole process.
I hired Heather to facilitate my move to Oregon, where she also helped me make some crucial design decisions during construction (again huge value add!). Make your move stress-free – call her!

“Heather Swain is a life saver. She came into our home on the day after moving in. All was in chaos and she could see we needed help. She took charge immediately, and moved things around so we had some breathing room without boxes around us. She then set us on the right track of opening boxes and sorting and putting away. It would have taken us days to get organized enough to start without Heather. She was prompt, efficient, and hardworking – non stop for four hours. Very easy going and pleasant to work with.”

“Heather Swain saved me. I recently purchased a home with a difficult and unique floor plan. I was unable to envision what I might incorporate from my previous home and what I needed to acquire. Heather arrived a calm, pleasant, bundle of positive motion. Decisions were made, action was taken, I went from frozen to a comprehensible plan within hours. She enthusiastically digs in and begins working with an attitude of action that’s infectious. During the next week we donated unnecessary items in fulfilling ways.
She helped me acquire furnishings at a tremendous value while utilizing my current possessions in ways not imagined. Heather’s a Marin native with many local relationships to assist in all aspects of creating “home”. My child had a very difficult room to make warm, at the end of the week it was the favorite room in the house, my child was ecstatic.
Her rates are an incredible value, I highly recommend.”

“Heather Swain’s guidance, insights, practicality and logical approach were invaluable when I needed to sift through, winnow down, organize and store an apartment’s worth of audio, video and media archives in a relatively short time. She was quick, efficient, and genial – and non-judgmental about the breadth and clutter of the material at hand.
I highly recommend utilizing her services.”
