Movers compared to Moving with Life Simplified

Does the word MOVING send chills to you and utter like a curse word! 


Does your mind start racing to where  am I moving to? AM I downsizing? What will I take?  What the best movers? Where do I get moving supplies?  I don’t want to take all this stuff?  Overwhelmed!!!


Life Simplifed has seen clients go through the stress of the moves and wished they would of reached out before the move. 


I hear it all the time movers job is to pack, your job is to organize. 


This is not true!  Movers offer packing, but they prefer to just move.  Yes my job is to organize and to make my client life simplified, and less stress!   


Thinking of moving- we can help client start to declutter and organize way before a move or right before a move.  The best part about having us come help declutter.  We can start to pack the household items to make the house be stage ready for pictures and potential buyers.  While we do this we can leave out certain items that can be used for staging. After all that is done then we can suggest a realtors to discuss the move.  We provide downsizing questions to help if that is part of your move plan.  Every client gets a moving checklist that provides an outline of what needs to be done by weeks and months before the move.   Downsizing we can help you decide if your furniture can fit in the new place.  We go over the plans and if possible the space to see what will fit in the new place.  We then discuss what pieces of furniture can go to the smaller place and what to do with the other pieces of furniture. 


Moving to a renovated or new build we can go over the plans to provide maximum storage options in the new place. 

Do you have house full of items that need to be sold we connect you with estate sale companies.  Not sure if something is valuable we take pictures and ask our antique appraisers.  Need items to be auctioned we can connect you with our antique and auction companies we partner with. 


Is there excess trash we schedule our junk company to remove the items. 

When you work with us we can calculate an inventory of estimate of boxes and what furniture needs to be disassembled and provide estimate to movers we get the estimates and provide you the estimate and the dates available .  We do the all the work and have  for you.  We even order all the packing material for the move.


Once you have contracted with the realtor your house will be ready to be on the market.  We have helped you declutter and stage if needed.  Once house is sold we can start to pack.  We hear all the time I don’t want my house in chaos during the move ok, we respect that.  We pack the storage spaces, garages, spare rooms first.  Boxes are in not in the way.  We pack all items like they are our items.  We even will back separately and label differently if items are going to someone else. What difference us from movers when we pack. 


We pack everything like it is ours- we take extreme care of each item.  We pack the items very well.  We will ask you if we are not sure something should be packed such as a cracked cup, or broken toy.  We check out expiration dates and only pack the non-expired food.  We will mention if we see there is an excess of something like do you really want 10 strainer spoons?  We will clean or wipe something down if it is dirty or dusty before we pack it up.  Movers just pack they don’t ask.  If there is a bowl of nuts they will wrap it and not empty it.  We will take pictures of the lamps or cabinets to make sure they are put back correctly at the new house.  Movers don’t do that.  We unpack and organize the new house.  So you can be fully functional in the new place with in a few days.  Movers just empty the boxes. 


We love movers!  We just provide ato z service to help our clients have a organized and less stress.


Do you have a loved one who is in the hospital and can’t come home or a loved one who passed away.  No worries we got you.  We can work with you tag all items going to certain people or places.  Then pack them accordingly.  Then we can connect and arrange estate sale if needed.  We can help create an inventory list if items are going to storage.  We can organize the storage unit or even clean it out if needed.


Moving is hard and can be stressful let us do all the work for you.
