Testimonials
"Having lost both my parents within 18 months of each other was a grief I wasn't prepared for. The task of closing out 62 yrs of memories in their home was left entirely up to me. I gave away a lot, I took a lot of treasures to my own home. But the big pieces of furniture were left. My sibling was pressuring me to empty the house so it could be sold. I called auctioneers and estate sale people. My calls were fruitless, no antiques not the right stuff. I was panicked. Then from 2 different and highly unlikely sources, I was given Donna's name.
On our first phone conversation she was so caring. She couldn't accommodate me more. She made a late evening "house call". She was so warm, so open to my opinions and so willing to help. Because she was so professional and knowledgeable I was immediately relieved. In my heart of hearts I knew she was the positive answer to my dilemma. She and her crew emptied the house quickly and efficiently, again very professional. No nicked walls, no scratched furniture.
She came along at exactly the right time and was a godsend to me. I couldn't be more pleased. The whole process from beginning to end went without a hitch. She always made herself available to me. What began as a horrific time in my life, actually turned out surprisingly well. All thanks to Donna."

Clothing was beautifully arranged and the kitchen was set up so that I could function immediately. It was perfect- exceeded what I expected and made me feel at home right away.

"Donna, Thank you so much for speaking at the Business Women of Southern New England’s January meeting. Your presentation was clear, specific with examples we could relate to and understand, and inspiring. The audience had great questions and, as you could tell, would have gone on longer with more questions if time allowed. Your presentation was very good!"

From the time we first met with Donna Finocchiaro, we heard professionalism, organization, and knowledge. Our first auction included three floors of things we wanted to sell. On the day of the sale, Donna and Stephen Veillette very efficiently guided and helped the buyers who carefully packed up all the merchandise. Our second auction was on a single floor which was obviously easier but it also included a sailboat and a canoe. To downsize or to totally get rid of things you no longer want, we wholeheartedly recommend Lotus Transitions.

Lotus Transitions treated us like family (without the fighting). It was good to know Mom was in her new place. I appreciated their honesty and willingness to explain what would work and not work. It was a pleasure working with them.
