Moving & Downsizing

Making your move more manageable

Moving involves much more than packing boxes. Whether you're downsizing, relocating, or moving to a new home, I can help you plan, sort, organize, and prepare for the move—and then get you settled into your new space.
From the early stages of deciding what to take with you to unpacking and organizing your new home, I'll help you manage the details and keep the process moving forward.

Move Planning & Downsizing

A successful move starts well before moving day. I can help you make decisions, create a plan, and work through the details so you're prepared for the move ahead.

Needs Assessment

We’ll look at your current home, your new space, and what you need to accomplish so we can determine where to begin.

Sort & Downsize

I’ll help you sort through your belongings and decide what to take with you, what to donate or sell, and what can be discarded before the move.

Create a Moving Timeline

We’ll establish a realistic timeline and identify the tasks that need to happen along the way, helping you stay organized as moving day approaches.

Space & Floor Planning

When appropriate, I can help plan where furniture and belongings will fit in your new space so you can make informed decisions about what to bring.

Inventory & Special Collections

For valuable, sentimental, or extensive collections, I can help create an inventory and photograph items for your records.

Temporary Storage

If you need more time to make decisions or need to store belongings between homes, I can help you determine what should go into temporary storage and how to organize it.

Move Coordinating

Once the decisions are made, there are still a lot of moving pieces to manage.

I can help coordinate the details between you and the professionals involved, keeping things organized and helping the project move forward.

Coordinate with Moving Professionals

I can help you communicate with movers and other service providers, making sure everyone understands what needs to happen and when.

Keep the Timeline Moving

I'll help track important dates, tasks, and decisions so that things don't get lost in the shuffle as moving day approaches.

Coordinate What Goes Where

I'll help organize the logistics of what is going to your new home, temporary storage, donation, sale, or other destinations.

Prepare for Moving Day

From final sorting and packing decisions to making sure important items are accounted for, I'll help you get organized and ready for the move.

Unpack & Settle-In

The movers have left, but your move isn't finished yet.

You're surrounded by boxes, and there's still a lot to do before your new home feels like home.

I can help you unpack, put things away, break down and clear out the cardboard, and organize your belongings as we go. Together, we'll turn your new space into a functional, comfortable home.

Unpack & Put Away

I'll help unpack boxes and get your belongings into their new homes, room by room.

Create Functional Spaces

As we unpack, we'll organize your belongings in ways that make sense for how you live and use your new space.

Break Down the Boxes

I'll break down empty boxes and help keep the cardboard and packing materials from taking over your new home.

Settle In

The goal isn't simply to get everything out of the boxes. It's to help you get settled, organized, and comfortable in your new home.

Quick Start

Moving day can be chaotic, and you may not want to wait until every box is unpacked to have the essentials you need.

Before the move, we'll identify the things you'll want ready right away—whether that's basic kitchen necessities, bedding, children's items, a coffee maker, or other first-night essentials.

When appropriate, these priority items can be specially labeled so they're easy to find and unpack first.

The goal is simple: help you feel at home from the moment you arrive.
