A move manager is a professional who plans, organizes, and oversees the entire relocation process on your behalf. They handle the logistics, coordination, and hands-on details of a move so you don't have to manage everything yourself, from the first sorting session through the final unpacked box.

A moving company transports your belongings from point A to point B. A move manager oversees the whole picture: helping you decide what to keep, arranging donations and disposals, creating floor plans for your new space, hiring and supervising the movers, and unpacking and settling you in. In short, movers move boxes, while move managers manage the entire transition.

Common clients include older adults downsizing or relocating to senior living, adult children coordinating a parent's move (often from a distance), families settling an estate, and anyone facing a move that feels overwhelming due to time, distance, health, or the sheer volume of belongings.

Our services include a planning consultation, sorting and downsizing assistance, space planning and floor plans for the new home, coordinating and supervising professional movers, packing and unpacking, arranging donation or sale of unwanted items, and setting up the new residence so it feels like home from day one.

At Move Managers Ltd we do both. We can be fully hands-on, packing your belongings, directing the movers, and unpacking and organizing the new space, or we can simply coordinate the pieces while you or your family handle some tasks. The level of involvement is usually up to you.

Move Managers guide you through belongings room by room at a comfortable pace, helping you make decisions without pressure. We can sometimes measure your new space in advance so you know what will realistically fit, which makes it easier to decide what stays, what goes to family, and what to let go of.

Move Managers arranges donations to charities, consignment of estate sales, gifting to family members, responsible disposal or recycling and even disposal services.

Pricing varies by the size and complexity of the move and the services you choose. We offer a free 1-hour initial consultation which includes an in-home assessment, so you get a clear estimate before committing.

It depends on the size of the home and how much sorting is involved, but many moves are completed over the course of two days. Day 1 is for packing and day 2 for moving and unpacking. Where downsizing and decluttering are needed this can take several weeks. A move manager can also work on a compressed timeline when a move needs to happen quickly.

Yes. Coordinating a long-distance move is one of the most common reasons families hire a move manager. They act as your local eyes and hands, keeping you informed throughout so you can stay involved without needing to be there in person.

Yes, Move Managers are fully insured, can provide references and our team is police vetted.

Many belong to professional organizations such as the National Association of Senior Move Managers (NASMM), which sets ethical and safety standards and offers accreditation. Membership or certification can be a helpful signal of professionalism and experience. At Move Managers we are currently working toward accreditation with NASMM.

The process usually begins with a consultation, in person or by phone, to understand your situation, timeline, and needs. From there, the move manager creates a customized plan and estimate, and work begins once you're ready to move forward.
