Valley's Best 2024: More About our Winning Businesses

The winners in the Best Financial Services category, Cindy Viner & Shauna Selig are the duo behind Viner & Selig Wealth Management. With clients across Canada, they specialize in providing tailored wealth solutions for high-net-worth women and their families.

Your Last Resort Home Organization and Staging

Your Last Resort Home Organization and Staging began nearly six years ago, not as a planned business venture, but something that naturally evolved. As busy working women and mothers of young children, the founders found it challenging to manage household tasks while balancing their other responsibilities. What started as helping each other with tasks like redesigning rooms and unpacking boxes from previous moves soon became something more. Enjoying the process, they decided to take their skills beyond their own homes and help others declutter and transform their spaces into their personal resorts.

Since its inception, Your Last Resort has worked with a diverse range of clients. Whether staging homes for real estate agents, assisting seniors with downsizing for a big move, or helping families pack, the services are tailored to meet the unique needs of each client. They’ve even supported individuals at risk of being rent-evicted due to excessive clutter. Each project is customized, and the company offers various packages to best suit the client’s requirements.

The team takes pride in their work, ensuring the client is always in control, making decisions while they provide guidance, motivation, and labor—with a touch of fun. They also handle donations, delivering items the homeowner no longer needs to charity, easing the burden of decluttering.

Welcome! – New Members
