Process

Home » Process

Each job is different with unique circumstances. We tailor our work to fit our clients’ needs.

Consultation

Each job typically starts with a free in-home, or phone, consultation at which time we determine the scope of the job and discuss your needs & goals and determine a timeline..

Sorting / Labeling

It isn’t unusual for clients to have lost track of what is in boxes, attics, and basements…. We typically start a project by sorting the contents of a house into categories. Upon the start of a project, we typically sort the contents of a house into different categories: Items to keep and move to a new residence (if there is a move involved). Items to be reviewed by family members and items to be sold, consigned, or donated.

Disbursement

Donations ready to be taken away
Charities pick up donations for free to assist people in local communities.

Following the sorting/labeling process (& decision process), SSH will coordinate all logistics involved with the removal of items that are to be sold, consigned and donated. We will schedule movers, auction houses, donation sites, and trash haulers.

In the end, your house will be cleaned and completely emptied and ready to turn over to a new owner.  

Packing

As decisions are made, we can pack items that are being kept but are not needed for everyday use. We call this pre-packing. As the move date approaches, we (SimplySized Home) will systematically pack all contents in the house in preparation for move day.

 We carefully label each box so move day is efficient and there is unnecessary guessing where things go when unpacked

Boxes in storage with proper labeling
Each box is labeled where it came from and where it’s going in your new home.

Moving

We will arrange for the appropriate moving company (local vs. long distance, national vs. international) to move your belongings on move day. Arrangements can also be made to ship items to family members.

Resettling

SimplySized Home offers resettling services which includes unpacking boxes in your new home, making up beds, kitchen, and bathrooms. IT’s important to us that you have a stress free and comfortable first night in your new home. We will also remove all boxes and paper at the end of the day.

Trash / Cleaning

In almost all cases, there is trash that accumulates and needs to be removed after a move. We can arrange and oversee the trash removal. Once the house is empty, we can arrange for it to be thoroughly cleaned so that it’s ready for the new owners on closing day.
