Frequently Asked Questions

paint swatchesInterior Arranging And Decorating

Does this describe you? - "I am not moving but would love to update my current home." Or "I have moved into a new home but can't seem to put it together in the way that I want." Can Home Transitions help?
Nothing is more fun for us than taking what a homeowner already has and putting it together in new, creative and attractive ways. We have helped clients prepare their homes to be sold and they have lamented that they were just now discovering the potential in the rooms they had occupied for years! When updating or purchasing new furnishings, clients often are equally challenged. A few hours with the right guidance can save hours of frustrations and dollars in mistakes.

 

denHome Organizing

Can you identify with any of these? - "I feel like part of my life is in chaos and it is keeping me from enjoying my home and the time I do have." Or, "I am a pretty organized person but just can't seem to get motivated or focused to address certain areas in my home that I now avoid whenever possible." And, "I know I need help in areas of my home that have gotten out of control but I am embarrassed to have someone come in and see what it really looks like."
A professional organizer from Home Transitions can coach and assist you in regaining control of all or parts of your home. And confidentiality is a code we work by! Don't miss out on any more time to enjoy your home and other things as well. Call Home Transitions today to schedule a consultation.



Moving

Why should I consider hiring Home Transitions LLC to manage my move for me?

We will ensure that you not only are doing the right things at the right times to prepare for your move, but that you also have the right resource at the right time to get the job done. This eliminates unnecessary stress and often can prevent costly mistakes.

How do I determine what will fit in my new home?

This is difficult for most people. We will determine from you the items you most want to use and do a furniture layout for you. We also can see opportunities for creative use and placement of items resulting in a new and refreshed look.

When should I meet with a Home Transitions LLC representative to discuss my upcoming move?

It is never too early to start planning for a move and proper planning is critical. We have a one-year check list and depending on the circumstances of your move, the timing is perfect. Again, too, having Home Transitions manage your timeline and move will take the uncertainty and stress out of your move - not to mention saving you time!

movingWhat should I pack myself and what should I leave for the professional packers?

One mistake people make is starting the packing too soon. A move is the perfect time to get your home's contents organized AND to decide if you really need to keep some things. Don't spend time and money packing and moving things that you no longer use or want. Those resources are better used working with a Home Transitions' organizer to sort, purge and organize your home's contents. After this and using the proper packing materials - right size for the job, homeowners can save money by packing unbreakable items such as books, linens and to some extent clothing. Depending on the circumstances of your move, there are other ways your Home Transitions move coordinator can save you money on your move. Your most precious and most fragile items, though, should be packed and moved by professionals.

How do I find a good moving company?

That is one of the many resources that Home Transitions can connect you with as your move coordinator. We move many people and have had experience with many moving companies. Our contacts can save you money and headaches.

What is the most important thing to consider in planning for a move?

Proper planning. A move is a project like any other and a successful project has a good project plan and an experienced project manager. It is all about having the right team and the right tools, literally and figuratively.

Can Home Transitions LLC help me get my home ready for a move?

Most definitely. In addition to project planning and management, we have professional organizers who will work with you in preparing for your move. We also provide the coaching and objectivity needed to keep you on task and make the best use of your time. With the proper preparations, you can save time and headaches and your move into your new home will be more efficient as well. Additionally with Home Transitions, you can help ensure that you get top dollar from the sale of your home. We can simplify, and if needed rearrange, rooms to maximize home sale appeal.

Why might I want to use Home Transitions LLC to help me get unpacked after a move?

Home Transitions can very quickly help you get settled after your move. Even while the movers are unloading the truck, our team of organizers can start the process of eliminating the tremendous clutter of boxes and packing materials. Needing only minimal guidance - much of which again can be done in advance with proper planning - our team of professionals can quickly have your home's contents unpacked and stored away in a thoughtful and neat manner. You then are ready to relax and enjoy your new home.

Can Home Transitions LLC help me dispose of the items I decide not to move?

This is often a need when people are moving and a Home Transition move coordinator can provide you with those resources and even can coordinate them for you. In some cases a moving sale is an excellent option. The timing and the choice of the moving sale professional is very important though and Home Transitions again can help ensure that you have the right resources at the right time to get the job done.
