Testimonials
“When we moved my father into a retirement home, we hired Wendy to help with the remaining contents of the condo. Wendy was instrumental in coordinating and dispersing the remaining furniture and seeing to the purchase and installation of new carpet for the bedroom. She met all the required deadlines, working well with the realtor in preparing the home for the new owners, while greatly reducing our stress.”

“Wendy Smith from SWOT Services were recommended to us when we listed our home for sale. We had been in our home for over 46 years and as seniors needed assistance to get ready for the move a new home. Wendy spent time with us when the moving date was determined, providing guidance and advice as to what we should be doing to get ready and what services she could offer us to assist in the move. We found Wendy to be well organized, energetic and she provided helpful advice on what we might consider donating. She helped us see to the delivery of articles for donation to various charities. Wendy assisted with the packing, labeling and worked with the movers, supervising the loading and unloading. She helped unpack and put away many the items moved. We would not have been able to make the move successfully had she not been there to help and advise us. During it all she remained patient and pleasant and was a pleasure to work with. We highly recommend her to anyone who has need of assistance in moving from one residence to another.”

“I knew Wendy from a previous environment; I became aware of her SWOT service and kept her information for future use. Then my world changed; first I needed to get my Mom’s house in order for new owners. I had no time, was under time constraints and all the less onerous activities had been completed. Wendy’s responses to my requests were “yes”, “of course”, “not a problem”; and “I could…..”. Her process was to complete what needed to be done without adding any stress to my already overwhelming situation. Next came an urgent need to move from our own home under difficult circumstances. Once again Wendy completed what was needed to be done in the most effective manner possible without adding any stress. I encourage anyone needing transition services to contact Wendy. Wendy will not add to your stress; in fact, Wendy’s methods will reduce the stress of any type of move/transition.”

“As a Real Estate Sales Representative, it's quite normal that I get involved in helping sell a home of either an estate or a family where the senior home owner is moving to some sort of assisted living. Recently I was involved in an estate sale where the executor hired Wendy from SWOT services to help with clearing out the home and getting it ready for sale. The beneficiaries of the estate all lived out of province. The plan was they would all visit the house on one day and decide on what they wanted to have from the estate. I witnessed Wendy deal with a variety of family members, all whom were grieving at their loss, as they sorted through an entire house of treasured memories. She helped them deal with the emotional stress of the situation, and then took the entire load off of their shoulders. Items were itemized and packed efficiently. The truck was professionally loaded and off they went. Many items were left over that needed to be professionally appraised which she has the contacts to do. And then all the remaining left-over items were efficiently dealt with. I am happy to recommend Wendy from SWOT Services for this kind of work.”

“I had the pleasure of working with Wendy Smith in my past role of IT Services Vendor for the Guelph Chamber of Commerce. Our relationship, by the nature of the services we were providing, had to be organized and communicative. Wendy quarterbacked all IT issues, amongst her other roles, for the Chamber with great confidence. She was able communicate the big picture yet describe the important details to our service representatives allowing us to efficiently service their account. As advertising within the Chamber was part of our marketing plans, I was also Wendy’s customer. She negotiated a fair contract for advertising, and helped us implement each component of the plan. We came to depend on the Wendy and the operations of the Chamber’s marketing to help effectively get our name out into the community. Wendy is extremely organized and dependable in any role she takes on and I would highly recommend her in her new role at SWOT Services!”
