Caring Transitions of Greater Worcester

Joe and his team exceeded our expectations. They completed a daunting house cleanout and managed a successful estate sale auction efficiently and thoughtfully. They also served as a one-stop shop, assisting with home repairs and arranging for landscape services. We could not have done it without them.

I referred Joe and his company to my clients who needed to empty an estate. They did everything from an estate sale to cleaning to landscaping, and my clients could not have been happier with their service. I’m happy to recommend Joe and Caring Transitions!

Joe is a very professional, warm individual who helped our family in a time of great need and sorrow. We had to clear out my parents' home after they died and it seemed an overwhelming task. Joe organized and sold what we could not use, got rid of the rest, and arranged for the house to be fully cleaned. He then even arranged for some work to be done to get the house ready for sale. This was all done very quickly for a reasonable price. I highly recommend Caring Transitions.

I hired caring transitions to clean out and auction off all of parents belongings in order to sell the property. I couldn’t be happier, they were careful with all their belongings, thorough, sensitive to the situation and had great communication. They saved all of my personal items so that I could do as I please with them.
Joe and his team did a Fantastic job of finding value in any thing they could and finding good homes for all of it.
Hire caring transitions if you need help downsizing, cleaning out the property of a loved one, or whatever you may need, you won’t be disappointed.

Joe and the team at Caring Transitions were exactly what we needed when we needed it. We were selling my mother's condo, and they provided a one-stop shop for handling all the cleanout details, including auctioning, donation, and junk removal of what was left. We were as involved (or not) as we wanted to be. Joe set clear expectations on process, price, and timing -- and lived up to them.

We hired Caring Transitions to clean out our mother's home after she moved to assisted living and had to sell it. Her move had to happen quickly, and all of us live out of state, so we took just two weeks to personally sort through and pack up essentials and items with sentimental value. The rest -- furniture, linens, household items, books, decorative items, and miscellany -- was left behind to deal with "later." I was sure we'd need another trip and days or weeks of work to clean out the townhouse. Then we found Joe at Caring Transitions, who was able to take care of the whole project efficiently and professionally.

Joe's team sorted everything, donated what they could, and set up a professional online auction for the furniture and miscellaneous other items. Then they cleaned out the house, had the trash removed, and left the place move-in ready, in plenty of time for the scheduled closing date.

Watching our much-loved but no longer needed possessions being auctioned off was hard. Some items generated small bidding wars, while others went for a song. In the end, though, proceeds of the sale paid for a significant fraction of the cost of the clean-out. Perhaps most importantly, we were pleased with the effort Joe made to find appreciative new owners for Mom's belongings. And it was so much easier than emptying an entire home ourselves could possibly be!

Quality, Professionalism

Joe and his team helped me to clean out my father's house in Worcester after he passed away earlier this year. The house is large and was full of furniture and 30+ years of accumulated stuff. His team helped sort through everything, set up an auction for the stuff that had some value, and organized the removal and disposal of the rest. He made the entire process very easy, explained everything along the way, and was very communicative through the process. Highly recommend working with Joe and team.

Joe and the folks at Caring Transitions were great. They took the time to explain their process and to make my seller feel comfortable with everything they were going to do. Their help in organizing, cleaning out, and auctioning items was a huge relief for the seller. Once Caring Transitions finished their work, we were ready to list the home for sale. I would absolutely recommend their services!

Joe was knowledgeable and honest about the process of cleaning out 40 years of collected “treasures.” His team was incredibly efficient in setting up the online auction and distributing the sold items. Joe sent me a detailed spreadsheet and pictures of the donated items. His team then did a fantastic job of broom cleaning the house and wiping down the surfaces. I would definitely recommend Joe Abbascia’s Caring Transitions company for total house clean outs!

I can't say enough positive things about Joe Abbascia and his amazing team. They took care of everything - soup to nuts - to transition my parents out of their (over-filled) house and into an Independent Living home. They mapped out and executed the selection of items to bring to their new home and packed, moved and unpacked those items. Once they were settled, Joe's team 100% cleaned out our parents house (sold, donated and discarded A LOT of remaining items). They then got their house on the market and had an offer in about a week. My siblings and I are so appreciative of the patience and care they demonstrated throughout what was a challenging process. We could not have done what they did on our own. I highly recommend Joe's team at Caring Transitions!

oe and his team did a fantastic job helping raise money for a local charity. He's honest, caring, and extrememly knowlegeable.
We can't thank him enough for all that he did. A great guy with a big heart!

Caring Transitions of Greater Worcester was the 1st online auction I ever took part in. Because of Joe's compassion and that of his staff, it was a simple decision to reach out to him for our charity auction. Knowledgeable, well connected, and positivity always. Highly recommend setting up your auction with Joe.

Caring Transitions hosted an auction, and ours was the winning bid for a car. Prior to the auction close, Joe Abbascia of Caring Transitions was very accommodating. We were able to inspect the car in person, even testing it out, and consequently, we felt confident in placing a bid, knowing that the car was indeed exactly as described. Joe exceeded our expectations and even surprised us by having the few dings and scratches on the car fixed by a professional garage prior to having us pick up the vehicle, and at no additional cost to us. All the necessary documents were prepared, making registering the vehicle a simple process. We found Joe to be honest, dependable, and knowledgeable. Joe's integrity and drive to help others truly illustrates that transitions can indeed be caring.
