Our Proven Process for Senior and Baby Boomer Downsizing Services in Columbus
Client’s Items First
We begin by identifying everything you want to keep and take to your new home. This is always our top priority—your comfort and the items that matter most to you.
Family Distribution
Next, we coordinate with family members to pack and arrange moving or shipping for items they’d like to have. Whether your children live in California or across town, we handle the logistics.
Auction and High-End Resale
Valuable furniture, antiques, and quality items go to Grandview Mercantile, the largest upscale resale shop in the country, where they can find new homes and offset your moving costs. Remaining saleable items are staged for online auction through Auction Ohio. Buyers pick up items during a designated window.
Pre-Move Setup
Two days before your furniture moves, we bring kitchen items, bathroom essentials, clothing, and personal items to your new home. We organize everything with specialized products designed for senior accessibility—from medication storage to easy-reach kitchen organization.
Moving Day & Home Reveal
When your furniture arrives, we will have already transformed your new space. Family photos are displayed, your grandmother’s china is arranged, and your new home reflects both who you were and who you are now. Many clients experience this as a closed-eye, surprise reveal.
Preparing Home to Sell
We work with the Realtors to determine what is required to get the home to sell. Then we will stage the home to prepare for the listing.

Frequently Asked Questions
The timeline varies based on your needs and decision-making process. Some moves are completed in a few days when families have already made decisions together, while comprehensive moves can take several weeks to a few months. We work at your pace, whether you need to see and approve every single item or prefer to delegate decisions to our experienced team.
What makes baby boomer and senior move managers in Columbus different from regular moving companies?
Unlike traditional movers who simply transport boxes you’ve already packed, we handle the entire downsizing journey. We help you decide what to keep, coordinate family distributions, sell valuable items through our resale and auction partners, organize and set up your new home before furniture arrives, and even decorate with items from your previous life. We’re more like wedding planners for your move—coordinating 15 different service providers to create one seamless experience.
Yes, we have extensive experience working with memory-impaired clients, including those in lockdown (secured) memory care units. We understand how to minimize confusion and anxiety during transitions. For assisted living and memory care moves, we organize spaces specifically for caregiver accessibility, ensuring everything needed for care is within arm’s reach. We approach these moves with extra gentleness, patience, and understanding.
We charge hourly rates, depending on the complexity and services required. You also pay for supplies (boxes, packing materials from Lowe’s), dumpsters if needed, and U-Haul truck rentals for transportation. If we bring in affiliate services like cleaning teams, handymen, or specialty contractors, and we will bill for those services separately. We provide transparent estimates after your consultation so there are no surprises.
Absolutely. We’ve worked with hundreds of families navigating this sensitive transition. Our approach is patient, respectful, and focused on honoring your parents’ life story and belongings. We often find treasured items clients thought were lost—war memorabilia, family photos, valuable collectibles—which helps build trust. We also understand the emotional aspects of letting go after 15-20 years in a home and work gently through resistance while keeping the process moving forward.
Not at all! We work with seniors and baby boomers in Central Ohio and beyond to help them move. Whether you or your loved one is staying in Ohio or moving out of state, we can help.
