Moving and downsizing · Maryland
A senior move manager can coordinate the many practical steps of a later-life move, from planning and sorting to move day and settling in.
When this service may help
Consider this help when the move has a short timeline, family lives far away, or the volume of decisions and possessions feels overwhelming.
What to compare
Compare assessment, scheduling, sorting help, coordination with movers, packing, unpacking, floor plans, family communication, and whether tasks are performed directly or subcontracted.
Questions to ask
- What parts of the move will you personally manage?
- How do you involve the older adult in decisions?
- Which movers or vendors do you use, and how are they selected?
- What is the fee structure and written scope?
