Frequently
Asked
Questions
What is rightsizing, and how is it different from downsizing?
Rightsizing is about creating a living space that fits your current lifestyle—not just reducing belongings. While downsizing focuses on moving to a smaller home, rightsizing ensures that everything you keep serves a purpose and brings value to your new space.
How do I know if rightsizing is right for me or my loved one?
If you or a loved one feel overwhelmed by clutter, need a safer home environment, or are preparing for a transition to a senior community, rightsizing can make life simpler, safer, and more enjoyable.
How do you help seniors who might be overwhelmed by the process or are very sentimental?
We understand that moving can be both emotional and overwhelming. Our team provides patient, step-by-step support, helping clients make decisions with care and ensuring that the process feels manageable and stress-free. Our team is experienced in helping seniors feel comfortable with the process, focusing on preserving meaningful belongings rather than just "getting rid of things."
How far in advance should we start the rightsizing process?
The sooner, the better! Ideally, starting several weeks or even months in advance allows for a smooth, stress-free transition. However, we also offer expedited services for last-minute moves.
Do you offer organizing services even if we’re not moving?
Absolutely! We help seniors declutter, simplify, and optimize their current living space for better functionality, safety, and comfort.
Do you work with families handling estate transitions after a loved one has passed?
Yes, we assist families in clearing out estates, organizing personal belongings, and preparing homes for sale with compassion and discretion.
What if my family lives out of state? Can you work directly with them?
Yes! We regularly coordinate with adult children and family members who live far away, keeping them informed and involved throughout the process via calls, emails, and virtual consultations.
How much do your services cost?
Pricing varies depending on the scope of work. We offer customized packages based on your needs, whether it's a simple decluttering session or full-service move management.

Yes! We have strong relationships with senior living communities, realtors, estate sale and moving companies to ensure a seamless transition. We can also coordinate directly with the facility to meet their requirements.

What makes your service different from a moving company?

Can you assist with paperwork, documents, and important records?

We partner with Estate Attorneys, Certified Financial Planners, and other experts who are qualified to prepare documents such as Wills, Trusts, Healthcare Directives, POAs (Power of Attorney), Personal Letters, and more.
We can facilitate discussions with seniors who may not have these vital documents in place about their importance, walk through any reservations they have about creating them, and coordinate with professionals to ensure all legal documents are in place and that copies or their location are provided for everyone who needs one.
