Senior Move Management

You have decided to downsize, what now?
Moving at any time can be stressful but when you have lived in your home for twenty plus years it can be overwhelming.  Often times it is well advised to hire an outside person to help with the overall process, that is where a Senior Move Manager comes in.
Perhaps you have heard of senior move managers but have no idea what they do. Here are some of the things they do and what to look for when hiring them.
What they do

1. Help you make the sometimes difficult and emotional decisions of what to keep and what to part with.
2. Presenting options of what to do with the things you are parting with.
3. Help facilitate donations, estate sales and disposal of your items.
4. Packing and sorting items.
5. Emotional support.
6. An emotional buffer amongst family members
7. Helping you realistically see what will fit in your new home.
8. Unpacking and getting settled in your new home.
9. Help you coordinate and schedule all of the moving parts; movers, estate sales, cleaners etc.

 
What to look for

1. Will they tailor their approach to how you like to work?
2. Does their personality work with you? 
3. Are they willing to have friends and family assist to save you money?
4. Are you able to choose only some of their services?
5. Do you have to sign a package deal?
6. Who will you be working with? The person that consults with you or someone else?
