The company works with expert packers, movers, utility companies and others from preparing a home before moving all the way to moving into a new house, condo or apartment. Through a free consultation, Greenwood and her staff talk with potential clients about where they're going and what they need done before and during their moves. Ease can be involved in all parts of a move or just a few steps, Greenwood said. Before she helped start the company three years ago, Greenwood, who was a real estate agent at the time, watched moving take its toll on older adults. Ease doesn't get involved in real estate buying issues, but it can help people find reputable movers, gutter cleaners or carpet installers, for example.
Some clients choose to hire their own professional services.
We meet with the person of service, and we know how long they've been in business. Ease also will coordinate estate or moving sales, inventory furniture, supervise packers, prepare floor plans and oversee changes of locks and addresses. By figuring out the floor plans and where furniture will go in new homes, it's easier to decide what to sell and what to keep. Greenwood said her company can get so specific that movers receive maps of where to place furniture in new houses. With the floor plans, we will give much more insight into how things will fit in a house, especially if it's a person with special needs.
