Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I select Smooth Transitions of Massachusetts instead of having my friends and family help me?
Family members often have careers or other obligations leaving them only a few hours a week or month to help declutter and pack a home. Many are not local thus needing to use vacation time to come and help. Also, while family members want to help out of their love for you, many find it difficut to assist without interjecting their lifestyle preferences rather than honoring yours. Friends too have limited availabiity and it is often not at the same time you have open. This is our full time job. We have painstakingly gathered together the best resources to assist with this process whether you are moving, clearing out an estate or organizing to stay put. Our goal is to have your treasures sorted and packed quickly while applying the same care your family members would apply.
How much do you charge for your services?

Why is moving seniors different?
When seniors move, they are usually downsizing. They do not take everything with them. There is more to downsizing than packing and moving boxes. These seniors will need to work with many different companies when relocating. Most people only downsize one or twice, so the needed resources are not known. Anticipating the large amount of time, planning, organizing and physical work involved to move a home can often times be overwhelming and paralyzing for the senior and/or their family. This is where a Senior Move Manager from Smooth Transitions can help.
How is Smooth Transitions different from a moving company?

Many seniors have lived in their homes for a lifetime. They’ve raised families and are surrounded by special memories, precious heirlooms, and family history. Suddenly, the home they once loved is now overwhelming with responsibilities and is difficult to live in. When a decision is made for a senior to relocate to a smaller home or a new town, many seniors will need assistance. Assistance is what Smooth Transitions can provide. We do everything the moving company does not do…We are there to provide the emotional, organizational, and physical support for all the tasks that need to be done before, during, and after move day. We will help the senior decide what to take with them, what to give to family, and what to donate. Then, we will take care of all of the details to make sure those precious items are handled as desired. After packing what has been selected to keep, we will put it into the hands of the mover to transport and deliver to the new address, and then we will unpack for the senior in the new home. We are not the moving company but we do everything else. Even if you’re not a senior, the white glove services we offer allow our clients to continue their lifestyles despite an address change
