There is A Smarter Way to Move. 


FLOOR PLANNING

Do you find it challenging to make decisions on what furniture you will use in your new space and how it will be placed? Some of our clients have over 5000 sq feet of living space (and furniture that fills it) and are moving to less than 1000 sq feet. How will it work?

Your Downsizing Manager will guide you through how to place your existing furniture into your new home to optimize space, functionality, design, and safety. This includes:

  • Measuring the new space or use accurate floor plan
  • Measuring current furniture
  • Determine which pieces are most functional, most fitted, and most sentimental to include in your new space
  • Furniture placement on floor plan (copy of this will be provided to you)

COORDINATION

Are you wanting help with all the details of your move – the phone calls, the scheduling, the emails to everyone involved in your move? Your Downsizing Manager will take care of all scheduling and coordination.  This includes coordination and scheduling with:

  • Movers (including estimate coordination)
  • Family members
  • Communities where you will be moving
  • Pick-ups, shipments, deliveries
  • Estate sales/antiques/eBay sellers/appraisers
  • Real estate agent/escrow agents

DETAILED MOVE PLAN AND TIMELINE
This plan and timeline will be used as our guide through the entire project (pre, during, and post) and will include weekly client updates.
