Client Stories
Don’t just take our word for it—let the stories of our satisfied clients speak for themselves! Read on to discover why customers trust us with their most valuable possessions and rely on us for a stress-free transition to their new homes.
Saving Time
When Sarah and Marcus, a young professional couple, had to relocate quickly for new job opportunities, they found themselves overwhelmed. With busy schedules and a two-bedroom condo full of belongings, they struggled to find time to sort, pack, and plan their move. We helped them create a moving timeline, floorplan, coordinated with reliable movers, and assisted with sorting, donating, and selling items they no longer needed. Packing and unpacking were handled professionally and efficiently, allowing the couple to step into a fully organized home on day one, without missing a beat. The support didn’t just ease the physical move—it reduced stress, saved time, and allowed them to focus on beginning the next chapter of their lives. What could have been a chaotic, stressful transition became a smooth, seamless experience. For Sarah and Marcus, move management wasn’t just helpful—it was essential.
Can’t Return Home
Mr. Meyer fell and broke his hip. He was told he could not return to his apartment and would have to move to assisted living. After looking at his apartment and the new assisted living apartment, I met with him at the rehab facility where he was staying. Together, Mr. Meyer and I developed a floor plan of the items he wanted to take with him. Additionally, we had a virtual tour through his apartment asking him questions about the smallest details. The team then packed up and moved the items to his new home. We set up the apartment as determined on the visits and phone calls. He arrived at the assisted living apartment to find his new home ready for him—surrounded by all the items that were important to him.
Long Distance
Ms. Peterson had passed away, and her son was living out of state. He was able to return to Chicago for a short period of time to deal with the estate, and so we worked with him to make arrangements prior to his visit. Once he arrived, we spent time sorting through the home. He determined what memories to keep or ship to family members, and the rest was designated for donation or sale. When the son returned home, the team then went to work preparing for the shipping, selling and donation of everything in the home. We continued to communicate with the son via email and phone calls. Soon the home was empty and ready to be sold.
A New Start In My Favorite Place
Sharon was a new widow, not yet ready to leave her home and memories. She decided to find a way to make her home right for her. We met with Sharon to assess her lifestyle, home, and access needs. Next, we came up with a plan. The team helped donate all her husband’s old tools and sold his stamp collection. We reorganized the kitchen and closets to make it easier to reach all the important items. We coordinated with a handyman to install some new lighting and fix that rickety railing to make the entryway safer. The bathroom needed more accessible storage than the medicine cabinet, so we helped purchase and assemble a lower set of drawers. Now, Sharon is comfortable, safe, and confident that she can stay in her favorite place for years to come.
Move to Independent Living Community
Living together in a 3 bedroom home for many years, the Kaufman family was ready to move to an independent living community. Because the new apartment was smaller, they knew they would have to decide what furniture and items to take and what to leave behind. We worked with them to develop a floor plan that helped them determine which furniture they would keep and where it would go in their new living space. We then sorted through all the cabinets, closets and paperwork. Precious items were given to family members. A large donation pickup was also arranged. The team then packed everything they were taking with them to their new home. Once everything arrived at the new home, we unpacked and set up their new home. No detail was too small—from organizing the new kitchen and closets, to arranging the items in the curio cabinet, to hanging the pictures. With their home squared away on day one, the Kaufman family wasted no time getting to the excitement of their new community and all the programs it had to offer.
