Yes, we can. But your view of an item’s value may not be seen in the same way in the marketplace. The tastes of the younger generation are very different than ours. That is why fine china, crystals and furniture are not as valuable as they were when you bought them. So, we would take pictures and show them to estate auctioneers and internet auction houses to see who will pay the most for certain items. We also donate items to various nonprofits. These organizations will ensure that your belongings truly find a nice “home” and new owners who will treasure them. Another important point: These donations are tax deductible.

Yes. We can do everything except “load your boxes and drive the moving truck.” We will help find you an appropriate moving company and work closely with this mover to get your move done. We will start the sort process, prepare and pack for the move, oversee and manage the process until the very last box is gone from your new home and the last picture is hung. We can also help you unpack and resettle you in your new home.

Yes. We have Workers Compensation, Business Insurance to include General and Professional Liability and Fidelity Bonding coverage. In addition, all of our employees must undergo criminal background checks in order to meet the bonding requirements.

A combination of experience and hard and soft skills qualify me as a senior move manager. I have incredibly strong project management skills honed during my 25 years’ experience working in investment banking on Wall Street. I know how to develop systems and processes and institute them to manage a project efficiently and effectively. I am also a capable multitasker.

As important, are my soft skills: compassion, reflective listening, and understanding and respect for the clients’ life stories, the emotions they are experiencing about their move and the importance they attach to their current home and cherished belongings. My primary goal is to make individuals feel respected, understood and in control of the many decisions involved with the moving process—and at peace with their new life passage.

We understand and respect that downsizing or any late-life move are overwhelming transitions. Therefore, we approach all our clients with love and compassion.

We provide floor planning services to ensure that your furniture will fit in your new home. We measure the various pieces of furniture you want to move and evaluate their potential placement on a scale drawing of your new residence. Then you will sit with us and finalize a floor plan that suits your needs and purposes. This has proven to be of great value in helping people choose items that will be size- appropriate for their new home.

We have various ways of providing a final cleanout of your home to make it “broom clean” for the closing. We work with many charitable organizations that sponsor donation drives as well as junk removal services. Your final cleanout could involve a combination of these services, depending upon the items that need to be removed.

No. Although the house is still yours, the setup of an estate sale can result in considerable stress. The house will be in disarray and not necessarily safe to live in because of the tables and supplies that need to be brought in for staging. It is best for you to move into your new home before the setup begins. During the sale itself, the client cannot be on-site. “Buyers” are less likely to buy if they realize the owner is present. Our experience proves that sales are better and the bottom-line increases when the client is offsite. The same is true for moves. The whole process moves more quickly with the oversight of our movers and staff. Not only can these situations beIt could be emotionally stressful and it’s not a physically safe environment.
