Client Success Story
Amy and her family had gotten in over their heads financially and had to move out of their dream home into a smaller rental home. They were overwhelmed and emotional at the prospect of moving.
We met with them, calmed their fears, and developed a moving timetable with tasks and target dates. They needed to downsize their possessions to fit into a smaller home so we helped them figure out what would fit and what could be sold to help with cash flow. We carefully packed their belongings, labeled the boxes and prepared for moving day.
While the movers were still there, we began unpacking immediately. We focused on the most critical areas first – the kitchen, bedrooms and bathrooms. When Amy arrived home later that day, she was delighted to find her kitchen completely organized, down to the decorative touches that made it feel like “home.” The smile and relief on her face was priceless as she realized that everything was going to be fine.
