IMAGINE

You walk into your new home on moving day —
The furniture is in place, clothes are in the closet, phone, internet, and TV are already connected.
The drapes are hung, the beds are made, and all the cartons are gone.

The kitchen drawers and pantry, linen closet, and bathroom shelves are organized just the way you like them.

Transitioning

We coordinate every detail of your move — working directly with movers to ensure a smooth and stress-free experience. This includes arranging all necessary Certificates of Insurance (COIs) for each residence involved. (COIs are also required for charity pickups, as well as any local or long-distance vendors or movers.)

We carefully label and organize everything for an easier unpacking process, and we ensure that all items are packed and handled with the utmost care.

Our goal is simple: to make your move as painless and stress-free as humanly possible.

In The New Home

  • Move-in assistance, including furniture placement and unpacking

  • Complete setup of your new space:

    • Organizing drawers, closets, shelves, and pantries

    • Full assembly of the kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom — including making the beds

  • Removal of all empty cartons and packing materials

  • Connecting electronics (TV, internet, phone, etc.)

  • Access to trusted handyman services

  • Hanging of drapes, curtains, artwork, and pictures

Our goal is to ensure your new home feels comfortable, organized, and truly yours — from day one.

Estate Assistance

In the event of the passing of a loved one, dispersing possessions and liquidating an estate can be especially emotional and difficult.

We manage with dignity the peaceful division of possessions; ship furniture and other possessions to beneficiaries; arrange for the sale, auction, consignment, and/or donation of the remaining items; sort, organize and shared papers as needed; and handle complete, thorough extensive apartment clean-outs and cleanups.
