I can't say enough about the quality and care Jaclynn brings to everything she does. Both she and her team are amazing!

Drew Kernovich

Very professional and detailed. Helped me out on very short notice and did a fantastic job cleaning my house before listing it. Thank you!

Brad Maclaren

When I refer people they have to be good, they are an extension of my business and reflect either positively or negatively . I feel very confident every time I need a home stager, Estate cleaning and clearing or just help with getting a listing organized for pictures and showings. This girl rocks and has a great team behind her.

Jaclynn at The Happy Nest was a pleasure to deal with. Her eye for detail is sharp, her personality is kind. She answered my client's questions with patience and we sold almost immediately and for over asking! Beautiful work. Highly recommended

I’ve worked with The Happy Nest both personally to help me organise my office, and professionally working with my clients to declutter before selling their home. They show incredible care and patience working with their clients. I hadn’t realised how vulnerable you can feel exposing your “mess”, whatever that may be, to someone else... but the Happy Nest goes above and beyond to make you feel comfortable and at ease as you declutter and organize your space to perfection!

We've had the pleasure of working with The Happy Nest team on several occasions. Professional, punctual, and make our job easier. They do an amazing job, and we would highly recommend them!

We at Neat and Tidy are so proud to have The Happy Nest as our affiliate. Our clients have been very happy to compliment their cleaning with the Organizational Professionalism The Happy Nest has to offer them.

I downsized from my 3000 sq ft home to a 1300 sq ft condo over 3 years ago. I had let many items go at that time but still felt overwhelmed and crowded by the furniture and clutter in the new place and especially annoyed that I was also spending $200 per month at an offsite storage locker to contain the overflow. On a tour of a potential retirement home, I was referred to the Happy Nest for assistance with my downsizing. Jaclynn teamed me up with Karla who was a perfect match for me. I had decided to tackle my problem in 3 stages — first the storage locker, secondly the clutter in the condo and lastly at some later date to prepare the condo for sale in advance of moving to a retirement home. Karla was personable, practical and task-driven. She kept me and my fiancé focussed on emptying everything out of the storage locker and was compassionate but firm when I had trouble letting some things go. She organized the sale of many items and dealt directly with prospective purchasers so that I didn’t have to. I was surprised by the weight that was lifted off my shoulders by simply (finally) dealing with the storage locker. It inspired me to go ahead and deal with much of the clutter in the condo by myself! I am proud to say that I now have a room that guests can actually sleep in and I have sold some of my larger furniture so that my condo feels more like home. It is still a work in progress but I am confident that I will meet my downsizing goals and look forward to using Happy Nest again when I am ready to move on to the next stage.

In my home staging business, I often need to recommend organizing and downsizing services to my clients. And my first choice is always The Happy Nest. Jaclynn Marie stands out as a professional and as an individual who is caring, efficient, patient, sincere, and with a big heart. She has a "magic touch" and her attention to details is astonishing. She is very talented when it comes to choosing decor items, combining colours and textures, and creating harmony in a space. It is always a great pleasure to work with Jaclynn Marie as well as to refer her services. I simply cannot recommend her highly enough!

Jaclynn absolutely helped my clients get more for their home. I will be happy to use The Happy Nest again and again!

Rob Trinh

My client and I had the pleasure of utilizing The Happy Nests' services in Oak Bay to stage her house before listing it for sale. Jaclynn had a vision and executed well. We couldn't have been more satisfied with the result. The house sold in eight days. Would be more than happy to recommend The Happy Nest to others for decluttering, staging and organizing - you won't be disappointed.

With most of my meetings becoming virtual this past year on platforms like Zoom due to COVID-19 restrictions, I found myself feeling self-conscious about how my office appears on camera. I am paid well by my clients for coaching and training services, so it felt important to have a professional look on screen for their benefit. The problem was... I didn't know where to start! This is when I reached out to Jaclynn and her team at The Happy Nest. She helped me plan out what the office's layout would look like, accessorized my space to be both on-brand for my personality, and give me a more sophisticated space. As some of the improvements required someone with construction skills, she also was able to bring in a handyperson to take that burden off my plate. The result has been more incredible than I could have imagined, and it has become a talking point with all my clients I meet on zoom. Did I mention that she stayed on budget and a breeze to work with?! If I did this myself, I would have spent more money, wasted more time and ended up with something that is nowhere near what I have today. I am genuinely grateful that we connected on Instagram last year and now have a professional relationship. When it comes to organizing and staging a space in Victoria, The Happy Nest Team is the only DM you need to send.

How is it possible to move a elderly, cognitively relative during Covid when none of her relatives live within a airplane flight? You call the Happy Nest. It was hard to realize our Aunt could no longer stay in her in apartment but the enormous task of moving her was accomplished by the professionalism of the Happy Nest. Karla from the Happy Nest was kind, patient towards our Aunt. Her attention to detail assured that our Aunt would have everything she needed in her new place. Karla set up everything in the new place in a ready to enjoy status. Excess items were sold for a fair price. Karla was in constant communication with the family to ensure nothing previous would be discarded. Thank you Happy Nest for moving our Aunt.

Jaclynn and the Happy Nest team exceeded our expectations! Preparing a client’s property for sale took a full team of professionals and Jaclynn’s crew were professional, efficient, incredibly competent and a delight to work with. I am excited to work with Jaclynn on future projects and would not hesitate for a second to recommend her.

Henry Krol

The Happy Nest is amazing! Clearing out my mother in law's home was incredibly daunting, but Jaclynn and her team took care of all the decisions and grunt-work that didn't really require me, so I could focus on the few decisions that did. They transformed the house from chaotic clutter to clean. Contact The Happy Nest; you may not think you need to, but you will be so grateful you did.

Anne Fried

My husband and I are USA citizens and recently sold our home in Victoria but because of COVID-19 we were not able to enter the country to pack or move our possessions. Jaclynn and team were AMAZING!! She handled every detail of this event and we were able to sort what we wanted to have shipped via zoom teleconferencing in less the a day and a half. She also removed all other items, performed a professional cleaning and supervised the packing and loading of our belongings. I have only positive things to say about The Happy Nest!! A total 5 STARS experience.

Ramona Cooperstock

Jaclynn is Wonder Woman! We couldn't have sold our house without her. She came to meet us right after I called, gave a very reasonable estimate, was able to undertake everything we needed to get our house ready for sale in a very short time window - junk removal, decluttering, shredding, cleaning, staging, and transporting items to an auction house. She did all of this while we were out of town. She kept an eye out for items that might be sentimental, and even sent those to me separately. Jaclynn is extremely professional, reliable, friendly, has a great eye and attention for detail, and is a pleasure to work with. Thank you Jaclynn and the Happy Nest, and thank you to our amazing realtor Brad Maclaren for the recommendation.

I own a moving company in Victoria and we regularly work with The Happy Nest. Our contact is Jaclynn and she is always an absolute pleasure to deal with; professional, organised and always courteous with our staff. Would 100% recommend doing business with.

Theresa Leonard

If you have come upon this website, don't think twice. I have had the enormous pleasure and gift of meeting Jaclyn Soet at Happy Nest when I first moved to Victoria. Not only did she help me declutter and think about my new home, she was just so giving, kind, and intelligent about spaces and design. Years later, I tried to hire her again. Her company had grown, not surprising, and she no longer did the work herself but I hired the company anyhow and had the same experience of both help and caring from her staff. Jaclyn visited my home since and gave me amazing design advice so I asked to hire her to help design my kitchen. She has exquisite taste, a great eye, knows where to find things in Victoria and keeps an eye out for design ideas. I feel so fortunate to have found her and you will too. Theresa L.

Jaclynn and the Happy Nest team were amazing. They helped in preparing a client’s home for sale. Jaclynn’s crew were professional, reliable, efficient, and stress free to work with. I recommended them and will use them again. Thomas

I used The Happy Nest after my Dad passed away. His home needed items donated, to consignment, furniture removal, junk removal and cleaning. Jaclynn and her team were amazing. Prompt, friendly and thorough. It was a challenging time for me and she made it all so much easier. I couldn't have come through it without her. Thank you!

Sandra Earle

Jaclynn was very professional as she assessed my situation. I was moving my Dad into elder care during covid. Adding to the issues, I reside in the USA, so none of the banking was easy! Karla helped me pack up and prepare for the movers. She was fast and proficient while we worked together. She also taught me some tricks for the packing. Finally, she took care of selling things that my family didn't want to keep. I can't say enough about The Happy Nest and their abilities.

Jason Hitkari

My parents were down-sizing into a condo from our family home and I wasn't going to able to make it to help out. I contacted "The Happy Nest" after googling for services in this area. Along every step of the way, the company was exception from calling me back right away, clearly explaining their services and options and then providing excellent care to my parents though the process. My mother was thrilled. I couldn't recommend them more highly.

Ian Goard

The Best! I don't know if I could recommend Happy Nest enough. From staging the house for sale, to clearing out the house we lived in for 46 years they were great! They are professional, respectful, knowledgeable and experienced. They know what they are doing and made a tough situation so much more manageable. I highly recommend their services.

Barbara Risto

What a relief to walk into my laundry room and see 20 years of accumulated items organized and labelled. I felt vulnerable letting someone loose on all my stuff, but Jaclynn and her staff treated me and my possessions with the utmost respect. They have many great tips to help motivate you toward releasing clutter from your life. They are experts at recycling or finding new homes for items that you no longer need.

Angela Ferguson

Jaclynn and her team are fantastic! We had 20 plus years of stuff accumulated that we needed to downsize before we listed our house for sale. The Happy Nest team made it a stress free and smooth effort. They helped us to sort what we were keeping and carefully packed it up. They then coordinated the movers and junk removal service. I was very pleased with their work.
