Testimonials

Melissa was truly amazing to deal with during a difficult time for my sister and myself. She was professional, fast and efficient and I cannot thank her enough for making the process so smooth. I have recommended her to many people and will continue to do so!

Melissa turned what could have been a completely overwhelming and stressful experience into an absolute success story. The workshop sale was beautifully executed, highly organized, and far exceeded our expectations. If you are looking for someone trustworthy, efficient, and deeply compassionate to help manage an estate or downsizing sale in Nova Scotia, look no further than Melissa at Past to Present. She is a true lifesaver!

My husband passed away suddenly last year. At a time when I felt overwhelmed with grief, I wasn't able to go through the long process of selling my husband's estate possessions. He had a lot of things that needed to go, and Melissa made the whole process so much easier. She handled everything from start to finish and there was very little I had to do. I don't know what I would have done without her help, she is very good at what she does and I didn't have to think about anything. I would recommend her services to anyone, and I am very grateful she was there for me during a very hard time in my life.

When I moved from out of the country to Annapolis Royal area in 2017, Melissa was kindly recommended to me by someone who had just used her service over a number of months to enable a major relocation within the area. This person had nothing but praise for Melissa and I was optimistic. Melissa exceeded my expectations. Her help was invaluable in unpacking a very large number of moving boxes, helping organize my workspace and place and label the contents as needed. She made what would have been an overwhelming task manageable – all with professionalism, energy and a cheerful demeanor. Importantly, she listened, asked questions and always kept my needs uppermost in her mind. Add to this that her service was reasonably priced up front and that she always arrived on time. It is my impression that Melissa can work well with just about anyone and I would certainly recommend her service to anyone lucky enough to have her help!

I am writing to enthusiastically recommend Melissa Fillmore's extraordinary skills of organization, professionalism, empathy, and commerce! We had very little time to market and sell the belongings of our home before its sale. Our realtor recommended Melissa and I will always be grateful. Melissa quickly priced and posted all items online and organized pickup of the purchased items at our home during the one day we had available. Buyers had a pickup time given to them - with the item/s in place / grouped together and the day went seamlessly. Even in the pouring rain at some point. Melissa was a joy to work with, all items were priced fairly and to go. We were thrilled to have this task handled expertly by Melissa - I cannot praise her work highly enough. She is brilliant, incredibly responsible, and conscientious - from the initial photo taking and online posting to the last item sold. We absolutely recommend Melissa!

Melissa was very prompt with creating a slide show for me. This was my first time for this..so Melissa carefully helped me with the format for the photos, had additional suggestions and completed the task within an excellent time frame! I will definitely use Melissa's services again! I rate her work 10/10 or 5 STARS!!

Melissa took all our photos, over 1,000 of them and refurbished several of them and helped us organize the rest. We also gave her our honeymoon photos, over 700 of them, and now we have 2 beautiful books which displays our trip beautifully. We would easily recommend her services at any time.

I have worked with Melissa Fillmore on a wide variety of projects over the past few years – and appreciate how carefully she listens to what I want to accomplish. She clearly has a wide understanding of what can be done with digitization – and always meets my objectives (whether I have been able to articulate them or not).

Melissa is awesome in organizing I would highly recommend her, you will be glad you did.
