Planning & Preparation

  • Songbird works with you to identify all of your "must-have" furniture, decor pieces and belongings to move to your new home. 
  • We create a proposed space plan for your new home using your existing furniture.
  • We develop a moving timeline and to-do list in preparation for your downsize. 

Packing

  • Songbird brings boxes, bins, paper and other professional-grade supplies to start the packing process.
  • We begin by focusing on non-essential furnishings and belongings that are not used every day. 
  • Furniture and other household items used regularly will be packed immediately before moving in order to minimize disruptions to your daily routine. 

Moving

  • Songbird serves as your single point of contact for the move.
  • Our team carefully loads your furnishings into our vehicle fleet and transports them to your new home. Alternately, we can coordinate directly with third-party moving companies.
  • When Songbird's packing, unpacking and moving services are combined, a move can be completed in as little as two days.

Unpacking & Interior Re-Design

  • Songbird unpacks and puts away all of your belongings in your new home. Utilizing your existing furnishings, we decorate and re-design each room, taking extra care to replicate the general "look and feel" of your previous home.
  • In addition to hanging artwork and decor, we re-assemble furniture, plug in lamps and set up electronics. 
  • We take care of all finishing touches including making the beds and tidying up so you can feel right at home and enjoy your new space immediately. 
  •  

Estate Dispersal & House Clear Out

  • After the move into your new downsized space is complete, Songbird manages the dispersal of any remaining items in your prior residence.
  • We coordinate the distribution of household contents to designated family members, auctioneers, or consigners.
  • We manage the sale, donation and safe disposal of any items no longer needed including furniture, documents, household chemicals and mattresses.

Home Sale Preparation

  • Songbird manages any cleaning, painting and other minor touch-ups to your prior residence to make it ready to sell. 
  • We coordinate with third party service providers such as carpet cleaners, landscapers, or realtors in order to make the home sell quickly and efficiently.

Age in Place

Home Organization & Interior Re-Design

If moving is not the best option for you or your loved one right now, you can still enjoy many of the benefits of downsizing by de-cluttering and re-organizing your current home so you can safely age—and thrive—in place. Simply put, we help make your home work better for you. With a focus on safety and efficiency for aging adults, Songbird Transition's Home Re-Organization & Re-design Service optimizes your existing space by clearing out clutter and sorting, discarding and donating unneeded items or delivering household items to local family. We then re-design your space using your existing furniture to maximize efficiency and minimize trip hazards and other safety concerns.
