Less is More is a personalised downsizing service based in Auckland. We give a wraparound service covering everything from getting your house ready for sale to unpacking all your treasured possessions to make your new home feel welcoming and comfortable.

If you are transitioning into a retirement village or more compact home, moving house or adjusting to life changes - for you or a family member - Rachel and Melissa can help. We bring calm and purpose, friendship and kindness and an efficient and effective approach.

There are lots of decisions to make when you are moving somewhere new. We know that by taking it step by step over time, you feel more organised and less rushed and overwhelmed. If you don't have a lot of time, we can help with that too. We break downsizing down into simple steps. You can take things at your own pace and do as much on your own as you can. We help with the things you can't do or don't want to do, but we always work alongside you, so you are in control.

We offer a wraparound service that is tailored to your needs. This means we can develop a package of services that will work for you and give you a fixed price.

Testimonials
Testimonials
I couldn’t have done it without Melissa and Rachel, they worked so incredibly hard with maximum efficiency and planning. I came home on the afternoon of my moving day and my kitchen, bedroom and bathroom were ready to use. With one more day’s work they had unpacked every box and put everything away, as well as hung some of my favourite photos and art. They were easy and great fun to work with and very respectful of my home. I am so very grateful. My family enjoyed the experience also – a hard chore become a great adventure. They went beyond the call of duty getting my wretched new skybox functioning - absolutely brilliant. – Linzi, Glendowie

Melissa and Rachel from Less Is More did an absolutely fantastic job helping my mother move into her retirement village. They were efficient, careful, and incredibly thoughtful throughout the entire process. They packed all her belongings quickly and securely, arranged the moving truck, and had everything moved and set up on the day. They went above and beyond by setting up her bed and bedroom items, organising the kitchen beautifully, even hanging her artwork and suggesting great furniture arrangements. I was impressed with the printed labels they made for her wardrobe and pantry shelves - it made everything easy to find and gave the place a lovely, organised feel.
Melissa and Rachel were relaxed, cheerful, and very easy to work with. They worked quickly and achieved a huge amount in a short time. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to make a move easier, especially into a retirement village. Their service was exceptional! – Vanessa, Orewa
