Services!Senior Moves can help you from start to finish to coordinate an entire move. Or we can provide only the services you need to supplement your own efforts. In either case, you can count on our expertise to make your move easier than you thought possible. Here are summaries of the types of services we can provide.
Setting the stage
Are you getting ready to sell your home? There's a whole new approach to selling a house these days, called staging. Basically, staging is the process of de-cluttering a home prior to showing it, but other tasks such as re-arranging furniture can also make it easier for prospective buyers to imagine themselves in the home you want to sell.
Senior Moves has been helping clients get ready to put homes on the market, since we started in business. So, if selling is in your future, be sure to ask how we can help you maximize the appeal of your home to buyers.
Sorting
Don't be tempted to believe the myth that it's easier to sort after the move! Nothing could be further from the truth. Or a more frustrating way to begin life in your new home. You don't want to pay to move things that you're going to have to just sort and give away later. So, we help you do it before the moving truck comes.
After all, it took years to fill the home you love. It only makes sense that deciding what to take with you deserves some time too. We consider it a privilege to help you decide:
- What to keep and what to throw away
- What to pass along to friends or relatives
- What to donate and what to sell
Simplifying
Not quite sure where to start? Not to worry! We specialize in prioritizing and mastering the details of your move. In fact, we have thought of just about everything that can simplify your life and put your mind at ease.
We can also provide scale drawings of the furniture items you plan to keep, so you will know if they fit in your new home prior to the actual move.
Our packing services include:
- Provide boxes and packing supplies (We only charge $1/box used, up to a maximum of $50.)
- Pack and label boxes
- Ensure protection of fragile items
We also take care of cancellations and transfers:
- Phone service
- Water service
- Security system
- Change of address
- Gas/electricity
- Internet
- Cable TV
- Garbage/rubbish
And, Senior Moves will assist you in finding resources for everything from antique appraisals and cleaning services to hiring a mover or renting storage space.
Settling in
How quickly you enjoy your new home depends on what works when you get there. For that very reason, we pay attention to details you may not even think about. Details like which side of the bed you prefer ... the way your furniture is arranged ... or how high you can reach.
