Consultation:  We will set up a consultation with you in your home to sort through the contents and help you decide which items fit into your new home.  At that time we also determine the downsizing needs and arrange to prepare a space planning diagram for your new home.

 

Time Table:  We will prepare a moving timetable and will take care of utility changes such as electric, water, telephone and mail delivery. 

 

Sorting and Packing:  We will set up a date to start the sorting process and pack all of your household items and clothing. We provide all of the packing materials and boxes. 

 

Moving Day:  We set up your Moving Day.  We meet, direct and oversee the movers as they load and unload the truck. 

 

Long Distance Moves:   The services of A Time To Move are not just limited to local moves.  We can coordinate the move for our clients who are moving closer to their family or to another part of the country.  We arrange with a licensed interstate moving company to provide a written quote so that you will not have to pay any more than the quote upon delivery.  We still do all the sorting and packing, donating, arranging for auction or consignment, home staging and any other services that our clients require.

 

Unpacking:  We start unpacking immediately upon arrival at your new home.  We set up the kitchen, living room, bathrooms and make the bed for you so you can sleep comfortably on your first night in your new home.  We connect the telephones, televisions, lamps, and set your clocks.  We hang your pictures if you are certain of where you want them.  We have found from our experience that very often our clients needs to wait a few days or weeks to decide on where their pictures should go.  So take your time - don't rush with this task.

 

Discard Boxes:  We discard all of the boxes and packing materials as soon as all are unpacked.

 

Charity/Auction/Consignment:  We arrange for charity pickups, auction or consignment of those items which are not needed.

 

Shipping:  We will arrange for shipping of the items going to family or friends, if needed.

 

Decorating:  We can also help you to decorate your new home.  We can help you decide on a color scheme, shop for furniture and accessories and provide you with other decorating ideas.

 

Attention to Detail:  Our staff pays special attention to your unique needs and provides all of the finishing touches.

 

Re-Sale Preparation:  We can prepare your home to market and sell, if required, using experienced realtors and our own Re-Sale Preparation staff.

 

Arrange for Auto Transport or Resale:  We can arrange to ship your car anywhere in the USA.  If you are no longer driving your car and wish to sell it, we can make those arrangements for you through an internet management company. You can avoid the danger and hassle of meeting with strangers.
