Designing Your Move
Transitioning Staging Your Home Portfolio
Transitioning

These days the average person moves 13 times during his or her lifetime and a family relocates every five years. That’s a lot of boxes and packing tape. Not to mention a lot of stress!
This reality causes a feeling of tentativeness and diminishes a family's sense of contentment. Designing Life understands this and works with you to keep life simple and balanced during your move. We help streamline the transition by offering services ranging from preparing your home for market to handing over your keys to the new owners. Designing Life does the heavy lifting so you can take care of the people you love.
Designing Life offers a variety of services that help you move on with your life:
Full-service Transitioning - Planning your move begins with Designing Life doing a walk-through of your house and property in order to assess and recommend interior and exterior enhancements that will increase the appeal of your home and get you a top- dollar price. A recommendation report is written up with specific details of how improvements can be made and included is a list of reliable moving companies, handyman services, landscapers, and painters. Designing Life creates a customized plan of procedures and schedules to follow for packing, hiring movers, making necessary home improvements, holding garage sales, planning your good-bye party, shutting off utilities, and gathering information about your new neighborhood. If needed, Designing life is available to be on-site moving day to supervise and ensure efficiency in loading the trailer and resolving any issues that may arise.
Helping Hand - Designing Life provides a mother's helper to give hands-on assistance with packing the home prior to moving day, so that the disruption to family life is minimal. In addition, moving tips and packing short cuts are offered to the do-it-yourself movers, along with a “move-out” timeline that helps to ensure deadlines are met and order is maintained.
