Home Maintenance Services

The full upkeep of a home under one roof — cleaning, repairs, gardens, painting, small-space design, and moves. One studio, one standard, and one person accountable for all of it.

03

Garden Maintenance

Planting and pruning, seasonal care, and fall and spring clean-ups that keep your outdoor space as considered as the rooms inside.

04

Small-Space Solutions

Creative answers for compact living — whether custom shelving or clever use of what you already own. Save space, save money.

05

Interior Painting

Guidance on colour schemes, careful preparation, and clean painting — from a single accent wall to a full refresh.

Home Organization

Considered, functional order — spaces designed around how you actually live, and then kept that way. Calm rooms, clear surfaces, and systems that hold under real life.

Closets, Pantries & Kitchens

Beautiful, workable systems for the rooms and spaces you use most — arranged so everything has a place and stays in it.

02

Decluttering

A calm, judgment-free sort that clears what no longer serves you and gives everything you keep a proper home.

03

Paper & Storage Solutions

Filing, document management, and storage designed to end the paper pile and the junk-drawer chaos for good.

04

Systems That Last

Organization built to endure — routines and structures that survive busy weeks, not just look good on day one.

Estate Sales

The full, discreet management of an estate sale — from the first valuation to the final dollar. When a lifetime's belongings must become value, Que La Femme runs it end to end: appraised properly, presented beautifully, sold for what it's truly worth, and accounted for to the cent.

01

Private Consultation & Plan

A discreet walkthrough of the home, an honest sense of what the estate holds, and a clear written plan and timeline — with no obligation to proceed.

02

Appraisal & Valuation

Fair-market valuation of furnishings, art, jewellery, and collectibles — with specialist appraisers brought in for exceptional pieces, so nothing of value is given away.

03

Staging & Presentation

The home and its collection arranged to show at their best and command their true worth, whether buyers arrive in person or online.

04

The Estate Sale

The sale itself, run end to end — pricing, promotion, buyer management, secure payment, and a full itemized account of every dollar.

05

Auction & Consignment Liaison

Standout pieces placed with the right auction house or consignor — quietly, and at the right moment — for the strongest possible return.

Estate Management

The calm handling of everything around an estate — the sorting, the downsizing, the giving, and the clearing. Whether you're settling a loved one's home or planning your own move, it's organized with discretion and care, one considered step at a time.

01

Sorting, Cataloguing & Keepsakes

A respectful sort of a lifetime's belongings. Items promised to family or held dear are set aside first; everything else is catalogued and organized.

02

Downsizing & Relocation

For a move to a smaller home or a care residence: deciding what to keep, letting the rest go with grace, and settling you into the new space.

03

Donation & Clear-Out

Remaining items donated to charity with receipts arranged, then the home cleared and broom-swept — ready to list or hand over.

04

Coordination & Oversight

A single, steady point of contact for executors and family — timelines kept, tradespeople coordinated, and the whole process quietly managed.
