How to Choose a Senior Move Manager in Ohio

What a senior move manager does

• Helps your loved one decide what to keep, sell, donate or give to family
• Creates a floor plan so favorite furniture fits the new space
• Packs, coordinates movers, unpacks and hangs pictures
• Arranges estate sales, donation pickups and clean-out

How they charge

Questions to ask

1. Are you a NASMM member, and are you insured and bonded?
2. Do you run background checks on your team?
3. Who will actually be in the home?
4. Can you give three references from the last year?
5. How do you handle items family members want?
6. Do you coordinate estate sales or work with partners?
