Transitional Design provides move management services.  We can help anyone of any age downsize and move.  We are a member of the National Association of Senior and Specialty Move Managers (NASSM).  It’s quite common for today’s seniors to have been in their current home for 30 years or more.  Leaving a home is often a daunting and emotional experience.  Our insured, ethical and caring staff are trained to assist in every aspect of a move.   Deciding what to do with everything you don’t want to move is often just as challenging as the move itself.

Move Management Services

The Transitional Design team can help to minimize the chaos and stress associated with moving by addressing all aspects of the move process.  We create and execute a seamless action plan customized to our clients’ wishes.  Our clients’ comfort is our priority, and services are personalized to promote their dignity and meet their needs.  To sum it up, what we really offer is peace of mind.

Services include:

• Pre-move preparation, which includes sorting through what you currently have and helping you decide what to move, give to family or friends, sell, donate or dispose.
• Floor planning for your new home to determine which furniture pieces will fit.
• Professional packing for your move and supplies delivered.
• Moving you locally or referring a mover for long-distance relocation.
• Settling in services to simplify your arrival.  We unpack all boxes, put everything in its place, and remove all boxes and packing materials.
• Loving care for your pets to help accommodate them in your new home.  We also do our best to find a good home for the furry or feathered friends you cannot move with you.

Estate Cleanouts

Transitional Design can do a complete cleanout of an estate after someone has moved or passed away.  Many families are left in a quandary about what to do and how to clean out an entire home.  They are afraid to throw out something that may be valuable , and often don’t know where to start or don’t have the time to do it themselves.

Services Include:

• Taking whatever is sellable back to our 15,000 square foot facility for sale via our resale store or online auction.  Everything is sold on consignment, and the seller or executor will receive 50% from the sale of the items.  If the estate has a large amount of  furniture and belongings, we can provide an online auction from the house or have an on-site estate sale.
• Putting all trash in a dumpster or hauling it to a landfill.
• Donating of items that are useable but do not have a Resale value.
• Disposing of hazardous waste according to city guidelines.
• Shredding service for confidential papers.
• A one time pre-sale home cleaning so the house can go on the market.
• Home staging service to improve the home’s presentation and expedite the sale.
