Meet Amy and Suzanne

Two 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 was founded to guide people with downsizing from start to finish, whether it be for themselves or a loved one.

We became a Certified "B" Corporation in 2021

This title sets companies apart by telling the world that they “Meet the highest standards of verified social and environmental performance, public transparency, and legal accountability, and aspire to use the power of markets to solve social and environmental problems.”

As of December, 2021 there were just over 4,500 Certified B Corporations in the whole world, Downsize Managers is so proud to have been included in that number!

Things Matter was Born!

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.

Downsize Managers' core value is to ensure people feel secure and cared for while downsizing in the most efficient and environmentally conscious way.

The thought of perfectly good belongings ending up in a landfill or a dumpster when there are people out there that will buy these possessions through a local online auction helps solve unnecessary waste.

We created an ecosystem that brings together all the resources and support needed for a smooth and successful transition.

In addition to our vast network of trusted partners, our sister nonprofit organization Things Matter handles auctions and donations with a focus on reducing waste and making a positive impact in local communities.

By combining the expertise of Downsize Managers with the resources of Things Matter, we're able to offer a comprehensive downsizing solution that is efficient, effective, and empowering. Whether you're looking to sell unwanted items, donate to a good cause, or simply simplify your life, our ecosystem is designed to help you achieve your goals with ease and peace of mind.
