" My wife contacted them to assist in the complete "clean out" of her Aunt's house, which was very cluttered. They took 3 days and the results were beyond belief. [...] To describe their services would be professional, courteous, and fabulous communications. We highly recommend them. "
-Joe, Mount Prospect, IL
" I have worked with Pamela and Long World Services for the Living on multiple projects. [...] I have been very impressed with her work and resourcefulness in helping clients sell, donate or gift their belongings that have been left behind.
She and her partner Evan work very hard to finish timely, but with sensitivity and care. She turns over all money earned from sales of belongings to the client. This means she charges a fee for her clean-out services, but the client earns the full sales amount. She is honest and upfront if items do not have a good resale value, which is important to know. It is a very fair and upfront way to do business. " ​​
-Lisa Joy Rosing, Owner of Joy of Downsizing, Chicago
" I recently lost my Father and had to put my Mother in an Assisted Living Facility. I needed to sell their house and was overwhelmed. My parents had lived in their house for 60+ years. Over the years, they had accumulated tons of stuff and lots of family memorabilia. [...]
What Pamela and her husband, Evan, did for me is short of a miracle. They handled everything with expertise, kid gloves and love, from staging the house for sale to selling furniture, donating things, packing, researching items dear to my parents, etc. All of the proceeds from the sale of items they gave to me. [...]
They treated my parents' home like it was their own home. "​
-Marian, Chicago
" Pamela and Evan have a wonderful network of people they work with that can sell, donate or recycle items that you do not want to keep. They are committed to finding use for as many of these things as possible. They donate to refugee organizations, schools and other helpful institutions. "

" My father in law's house was packed full of trash. We had no idea how we were going to clean the house and get it ready for sale. [...] The care and dedication that Pamela and Evan have is unmatched! They provided before/after photos, a live working spreadsheet of sales, and daily updates. "​
-Laura, Chicago
" Pamela and Evan were so professional in every way. They assumed the burden of taking care of everything from sales to disposal. We are so grateful for their expertise. "
