How to Choose a Downsizing or Move-Management Service

Golden Neighbors Denver Editorial TeamUpdated Thu, November 12

Quick answer

Choose a move manager who provides a written scope, a not-to-exceed estimate, references, and a written plan for donations and sales. Certified Senior Move Managers are trained specifically for this work.

What a move manager actually does

Floor-plans the new space, coordinates the moving crew, packs and unpacks, arranges donations and estate sales, and settles you in.

What a fair estimate looks like

An in-home walk-through, a written scope, and a not-to-exceed price. Ask specifically about the plan for items that don't come with you.
