Our Services
Overwhelmed with planning a move?
Let us help! We understand that organizing all the precious (and some not so precious items) that you have accumulated over the years can be a daunting task. Think about it. Every time you come home, you bring something in, but you only take out the trash once a week.
We’ve helped hundreds of people get their home and personal possessions ready for a move. Jason is my Customer Service Representative. His job is to help you prepare. Jason can assist you with:
- Securing painters, cleaners, landscapers, or contractors
- Donating items to the charity of your choice
- Trash and debris removal
- Secure packing supplies
- Moving boxes to storage
- Arranging for movers
You don’t pay extra. Jason’s services are included in the commission paid at closing when we sell your home. You would only be responsible for any outside providers we find for you.
