Critical Senior Move & Estate Transition Operations Taken Off Your Plate
Real commercial execution, space planning rigor, and compassionate family coordination handled with white-glove discretion. Free up your on-site hours for client hand-holding, sorting sessions, and high-margin consulting packages.
Floor Plan Space Planning & Furniture Rightsizing
Prevent move-day heartbreak when heirlooms don't fit through doorways. We import architectural blueprints into RoomSketcher or Floorplanner, create to-scale 2D/3D layouts, and verify furniture clearances for senior safety.
- Blueprint digitization & senior living apartment layout modeling
- Furniture dimension matching (sofas, credenzas, beds, dressers)
- ADA walkway clearances & walker/wheelchair turning radius QA
Estate Inventory Cataloging & Valuation Tagging
Transform chaotic 40-year collections into structured asset registries. We catalog furniture, china, jewelry, and art in Sortly or Airtable, tagging items across four distinct paths: Keep, Sell, Donate, or Gift to Family.
- Item photographic indexing & condition documentation
- Beneficiary claim tracking spreadsheets for adult siblings
- Specialty antique appraisal sourcing & valuation compilation
Online Auctions, Estate Sales & Consignment
Monetize unwanted furniture and collections efficiently. We draft compelling item listings on EstateSales.net and MaxSold, upload multi-angle photos, monitor bidder questions, and reconcile settlement payouts.
- MaxSold / EBTH auction lot title and description drafting
- Estate sale promotional listings on local classifieds & forums
- Consignment shop intake coordination & payout tracking
Mover Bidding, Packing Dispatch & Haul Logistics
Eliminate phone tag with moving companies. We solicit competitive bids from insured specialty movers, schedule dumpster drops, book junk removal crews, and arrange charity truck pickups.
- 3-quote competitive mover bidding & insurance COI verification
- 1-800-GOT-JUNK or local dump haul dispatching
- Habitat ReStore & charity truck pickup appointments
Compassionate Family & Adult Child Communication
Keep out-of-town adult children and caregivers completely reassured. We synthesize daily on-site sorting progress, distribute photo logs of questionable heirlooms, and manage pre-consultation intake surveys.
- Daily or weekly milestone digest emails for long-distance family
- Compassionate HoneyBook/Dubsado intake survey triage
- Assisted living community intake coordinator liaison
Address Transfers, Utility Cutoffs & Donation Tax Slips
Handle the mountain of administrative loose ends. We compile formal donation valuation receipts for client CPA tax returns, manage USPS change-of-address checklists, and schedule utility transfers.
- Detailed non-cash charitable donation inventory valuation logs
- Utility cancellation and senior living transfer runbooks
- Client invoicing & liquidation escrow balance reconciliation
