Frequently Asked Questions.

Downsizing feels overwhelming. Where do we even start?

Most people call us because they don't know where to start. That's completely normal.

We help break the project into manageable steps and can handle as much or as little of the work as you'd like. Whether you're downsizing, helping a parent move, clearing out a home after a loss, or simply feeling overwhelmed by clutter, we'll create a plan and work alongside you to get it done.

Do I need to be involved the whole time?

Not at all.

Some clients like to be involved in every decision. Others prefer to point us in the right direction and let us take care of the details.

We'll work in whatever way feels most comfortable for you and keep you informed throughout the process.

What happens to the items we don't keep?

We help coordinate donations, recycling, disposal, items for sale, and item rehoming.

Whenever possible, we work to get usable items into the hands of local nonprofits and people who can benefit from them. We can also help identify items that may be worth selling.

Can you help after the death of a loved one?

Yes.

Many families contact us after the loss of a parent, spouse, or loved one. These projects often involve sorting through a lifetime of belongings while navigating grief and family logistics.

Our team approaches these situations with compassion, patience, and respect. We can help with everything from identifying keepsakes and important documents to coordinating donations and preparing a home for sale.

What makes Good Move Downsizing different?

Our team includes people with backgrounds in counseling, chaplaincy, education, caregiving, and other helping professions.

We're known for being trustworthy, organized, warm, efficient, and easy to work with. Families often tell us that having caring people beside them during a difficult transition made all the difference.

Do you only help older adults?

No.

While we work with many older adults and their families, we also help people of all ages who are downsizing, moving, dealing with a major life transition, or feeling overwhelmed by clutter.

Can you help prepare a home for sale?

Absolutely.

We can help declutter, clear out unwanted items, coordinate donations and removal, and prepare a home to be listed on the market.
