We are located in Barrie, ON, and we serve Simcoe County and the surrounding area.
Co-Owner Connie Campbell has years of experience in the real estate industry. She knows that when selling a family home there are many obstacles.
Since 2003, Connie has experienced firsthand how traumatic it can be for anyone unsure of the moving process no matter what their age or situation. She understands the increased difficulties of cleaning, purging & home staging prior to listing the property; followed by the daunting task of decision making, packing and clearing the unneeded belongings; as well as the importance of an efficient new home set up.
Connie obtained her Senior Relocation and Transition Specialist Certificate in 2011. She is an active member of the National Association of Senior Move Managers. She participates in ongoing training to meet the needs of her clients.
Services
CONSULTATION
A FREE 30 minute in home consultation is the most effective way for us to assess your needs and provide you with an estimate for our services.
PERSONAL MOVE PLAN
Each individual situation is unique. While the tasks may be similar, the order in which they are performed will change. We will prepare a customized move plan for you.
SPACE PLAN
Measure twice… MOVE once! Making sure everything fits with enough space to provide a safe living environment is the key to your comfort in your new, smaller space.
SORT, ORGANIZE, PACK
We provide the staff to assist with a thorough sorting of each area in the home. We help determine what will make the journey to your new space and will ensure it gets packed with care.
HOME STAGING
It’s no secret that a well staged home will obtain top dollar in the real estate market. We can assist with minor updating and staging prior to listing the home for sale.
SELL, DONATE, DISPOSE
What do I do with all my STUFF? Dealing with the unneeded home contents is another area that we specialize in. Clearing out the surplus content in the most cost effective way is always a priority.
MOVING DAY AND NEW HOME SET-UP
On move day your move manager will be there to supervise the move truck and our team of staff will arrive at the new home in time to begin a complete unpacking service.
COLLECTOR, PACK RAT, CLUTTERBUG, HOARDER
Helping our clients clear a lifetime of possessions in order to relocate to smaller spaces takes time and compassion. We ensure the memories are respected while encouraging clients to part with items they no longer need.
All loose items must be packed in boxes to prevent loss or damage while moving. It is
recommended that you pack all items and leave the drawers empty.
Items of extraordinary value such as jewelry, money, antiques, and stamp collections
can be included in your shipment, provided that you notify your local moving representative
of these items before packing and moving day. It is strongly recommended that you carry
irreplaceable and expensive articles with you, or make alternate arrangements for their
transport.
In the moving industry, items worth more than $100 per pound are considered to be articles
of "extraordinary value.” To be assured that a claim involving these articles is not limited
to minimal liability, complete and sign your mover's high-value inventory form.
Also, be sure to sign the "Extraordinary Value Article Declaration" box, if applicable, on
your Bill of Lading.
Each mover has a slightly different procedure to follow as it relates to high-value items.
Ask your relocation specialist to provide you with an explanation of their company's process.
This is a confusing (but important) task, so be sure that you clearly understand the rules
prior to load day.
