February 10, 2017 by Nikki Buckelew Leave a Comment

  When you think of moving, you undoubtedly realize that it is a project. In this sense, you can think of move management services as being project management.

Adjusting to Life After a Move

July 12, 2016 by Nikki Buckelew Leave a Comment

  We get it, we really do. One of the chief reasons people shy away from a post-retirement move is the fear that life will change dramatically. And the truth is that, yes, it will. But contrary to what that little voice inside your head (or that of your loved one) says, downsizing and making […]

Sorting Through a Lifetime of Possessions: Organizing All That Stuff

February 23, 2016 by Nikki Buckelew Leave a Comment

Educators, Advocates, then Real Estate Agents – In That Order

September 21, 2015 by Nikki Buckelew Leave a Comment

Someone recently told me they thought I had “overstepped my bounds” as a real estate agent because I asked a client if she had considered a retirement community that offered more services than the one she was presently considering. Naturally, my feathers were a bit ruffled because anyone who knows me or Chris knows that […]

Tornado Drills and Longterm Housing Plans: A part of growing up and older

May 11, 2015 by Nikki Buckelew 1 Comment

I always find it interesting when one of our elder clients says they have never even thought about where they would live if they couldn’t live in their own home anymore. Having been raised in Oklahoma, as students, we were always subjected to the mandatory “tornado drill” exercise to insure we all knew where to […]

Incredible compassion and connection

The communication and customer service was fantastic and that the move management services were terrific. My overall experience was amazing and I appreciated that each individual we had contact with within the team cared about people more than just wanting to get the job done.

Downsizing support
August 8, 2016

The hardest part of the move for me was the downsizing -- the easiest part was the move itself. When friends or family would ask if I needed help, my reply was that Nikki and Chris had it covered. No one, especially friends who had moved recently, could believe how non-stressed I was and how smooth the move went. My move manager was there the last two days to make sure all would go smoothly on moving day. Continue Reading

"Nikki and Chris were amazing and a delight to work with from our initial meeting to discuss my mom's move to a retirement community to the actual move and quick sale (10 days!) of her home including the disposal of unwanted personal possessions. They and their team were extremely professional and always accessible. They were Continue Reading

Thank you for caring
December 10, 2014

I want to thank you for the incredibly caring way you do business. You and your staff allowed me and my sister to go back to our homes secure in the knowledge that Mom was in the best hands...and with people who were looking out for her best interest, comfort and security. You should be proud of the service you perform. We certainly are! Thank you again, in advance, for easing Mom's transition. Continue Reading

Elders sometimes need a little help
October 4, 2017

They helped in preparing the house to be sold: sale, closing etc in 90 days. Elder people sometimes need help. Years between moves, you don’t know who to call and then have to set appointments etc. It gets very stressful. They took care of all that.

4/5 Stars.
