Move Management & Professional Organizing

---

 As your Professional Organizer, I will help you, calmly, make decisions that seem so overwhelming.

Keep it? Donate it? Trash it?  Repurpose it?

Besides a second set of hands, I am there to talk it through with you.

No judgement, ever.  

Once we start you will feel great about your progress and will become more motivated.  
We will set goals and make them happen in a timely manner.    

 Organizing for your realtors first visit, staging, and the move. 

You are considering moving and realize that means having a realtor come and look in every closet and we all know how things come out of the woodwork.

 To get the best price for your home and the most accurate moving estimate it is wise to be as organized as possible. 

Declutter, organize, and pack along the way.  

 As your Move Manager, I can move some items myself, and coordinate in person or remotely with local or out-of-state movers, junk haulers, donations, handymen, and any third-party services needed.

Pack, unpack, set-up of new space, oversee the movers on pack or move days

.  Moving Consultants estimate the amount of boxes, the weight of the contents being moved, the amount of men needed, what size truck or trucks, how long it will take, address any special needs, and of course the cost.

 I can prepare a physical survey, including any special needs, and gather logistical information to share with the moving companies. I can review your estimates and we can discuss your options

As family members, your primary concern during this transition is the well-being and happiness of your loved ones. 

Often during these times there are out-of-town or out-of-state family members that need to be involved or need help with the process. 

Using email, phone calls, and text messages with family members or caretakers, movers, new home or facility and other third-party services – all documents and finances can be managed remotely.  I can go through documents and make sure everything is accounted for, and the family has what they need. 

Certain belongings can be moved by me, this way, by the time the movers complete the move,  

your loved one will be set-up and comfortable in their new home. This can also include

setting up electronics, WIFI and Bluetooth on home and mobile devices.  

  I will give you tips & tricks to help save money & keep your belongings safe. 

My motto is "use your stuff to pack your stuff". 

When possible, use your towels, sheets, pillows, any kind of fluff for cushion to protect your belongings. Even stuffed animals. 

This will save you money. Everything must go in a box anyway! Your clean socks are cleaner than dirty newspaper. Less paper, expensive bubble wrap, and less boxes. Less boxes and weight will help reduce the cost of your move.
 

Creative problem solving. 

  There are rules and laws about what is and what is not insurable.

The consultant should be very transparent and should educate you. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. 

Who would have thought you need to ask the moving consultant, “Do you charge for tape?” If it is not clear on the estimate, you want to ask.
 

Those little surprises at the end of the move can add up. 

  PACKING IS MY ZEN!

I can look in the cabinets and already know what to pack with what and in what size box. I will bring any special needs to your attention. 

Every box is a challenge. A 3-dimensional puzzle. I love it! And I am quick!!

It is my goal to conserve materials when possible. I can use your towels, sheets, blankets, pillows, even stuffed animals as cushions, when possible, to save on buying paper or bubble wrap.

 Creative problem solving! 

  I will take a photo per box and any possible damages or defects. 

Each box will be numbered and labeled. 

Photos will be emailed to you.

A printout of the photo will be sealed and secured to the outside of the box. The photo will not be showing. 

Once in your new home or office you can unseal the clear bag and flip the photo and put it back in the envelope. You will know what is in the box before opening it. 

I can also leave you with a binder of the photos and a list of boxes. 

  List of box numbers, room and description of contents. 

I will note any damages or defects. 

 Unpack and set up new household, office or retail space.  
Everyone has their own way of doing things so I am happy to work with you or by myself.  I make my decisions of placing items based on their function and how often they are used. I prefer that you  have easy access to your items so there is no struggling to get something from a cabinet or closet.  

Safety first!

As an artist, I have a great eye for placement of furniture, art and precious items.  

  I will go on the day of the estimate and or day(s) of the move to make sure that everything is managed with care, that the move is running on time and all belongings end up in the correct place in your new home.
