Moving Coordination

• Assess with client the scope of the project: Look at the space, determine what needs to be done, and tailor a plan-of-action specific to individual client needs
• Rate:

• Research and interview movers (at least three different companies)
• Plan for cable, phones, internet accessibility, and utilities in new home
• Send out change of address letters and update credit card companies, etc., with new contact information
• Research and make arrangements for appraisals, sale, and donations of items client no longer wants
• Coordinate moving day logistics regarding parking for moving truck, reserving of elevator, insurance coverage, etc.
• Coordinate the sending out of moving announcements
• (usually 2-3 days, or 16-24 hours)

• Organize rooms in home or personal belongings before packing them (i.e., files, paperwork, clothes, toiletries, etc.) if necessary
• Tag items for new home, storage, trash, tag sale
• Organize tag sale, if requested
• Plan where items will go in new home
• (plan at least 1-1.5 days per room, or 8-12 hours per room)

• Oversee movers and supervise packing (in order for client’s belongings to be covered by insurance, all items must be packed by movers)
• Act as owner’s liaison with movers and other vendors/delivery people, troubleshoot issues as they arise
• Supplement packing inventory with additional information that facilitates unpacking
• Project Coordinator and assistant (we’ll probably assign two) for at least 5 hours

• Oversee unloading of truck and check inventory to be sure all boxes are delivered
• Route boxes to appropriate rooms
• Unpack boxes and organize items into closets, cabinets, and storage units
• Guide client in signing of invoice and claims for any damage
• Break down boxes and prepare for garbage pick up –leave with 80% of garbage
