If you are planning to move, The Move Maven can help you every step of the way!
Here are some of the services we offer. You can do as much or as little as you want, and leave the rest to us.
• Consulting
We will develop and implement a personalized plan and timeline for all aspects of your move
• Floor planning
We will create scale drawings of your new home and your furniture to determine exactly what will fit
• Sorting
We will sort through your possessions with you to determine what to keep, sell, donate or discard
• Selling
We will sell items through our network of trusted antique dealers, auctioneers, consignment stores and estate sale providers. If items are more appropriate for sale through eBay or Craigslist, we can handle that as well.
• Coordinating Donations
We will donate unwanted items to charitable organizations, and provide you with receipts for tax purposes.
• Arranging and coordinating movers and shippers
We can recommend movers, negotiate the best prices and terms, and ensure that all details are taken care of, including appropriate permits and elevator reservations. We will oversee moving day to make sure you have a smooth and stress-free experience. We can also handle shipping items to out-of-state family members.
• Packing, unpacking, and organizing in your new home
We professionally pack everything in advance. We can unpack and set up your new home, including organizing the kitchen and bathrooms, making the beds, connecting electronic devices, hanging pictures, and removing all boxes and packing materials (Usually, this can all be accomplished by the end of moving day, so you can quickly settle into your new home.)
• Cleaning out your old home
After you move, we can make sure your old residence is left in “broom-clean” condition for the new occupants.
For a free consultation call 617.455.1964 We look forward to hearing from you!
You have the right to receive an estimate based on a physical (in-house) survey of your
shipment. Under the regulations, your mover must base your estimate (either binding,
non-binding, or not-to-exceed), on a physical survey of the household goods to be moved if
the goods are located with a 50-mile radius of your mover’s (or his agent’s) place of business.
You may elect to waive this requirement for a physical survey, but if you elect to do so,
you must sign a written waiver of your rights.
In all likelihood, you will find that an on-site estimate based on a physical survey
of the items that you plan on moving will be more accurate than an estimate that you
provide to your mover over the telephone or the Internet. So, unless circumstances warrant
(normally due to the time constraints of a short-notice move or because you are only shipping
a few items) think carefully before you elect to waive the required physical survey
of your shipment.
