Everyone of us underestimate how much time certain tasks will take us! Oh, it will only take me a few minutes to run to the store and pick up what I need for dinner! An hour and half later you get back-slow checkout line, traffic, the kids didn’t cooperate etc. etc. We always think we can do it better, faster and cheaper than someone else.
To prepare to move it on average takes 40-130 hours, over 4-8 weeks, when working with older or elderly people. You can probably do it faster without the person being on site. This move took 80 hours in a little over 3 weeks!
I broke down some of the major tasks that are involved in moving. This doesn’t count endless phones calls to cancel and connect services, returning cable boxes etc. And the unexpected things that come up during the course of a move – the movers are late, or the charity doesn’t show up to pick up etc.
This is a list of people that are prime candidates to help when Mom and Dad need to downsize and move. DO THEY HAVE THE TIME?
These are many, not all, considerations that people should think about when deciding the best method of helping parents or older people to move. How much are these times worth?
Grandchildren, Nieces & Nephews and in-laws will have many, if not all, of these same issues and won’t be of much help when push comes to shove. Friends – who are in the same age bracket will not be much help and you wouldn’t want them to be hurt.
These are some of the area that a Professional move manager/concierge do help families we work with. Making the endless phones calls, to movers, appraisers, and other venders to set up appointments being on site for appointments organize, sort and dispose of items – arrange for pickups from charities, arrange movement of items to other parts of country etc Help to resolve problems and disputes among family members. over see packing and move process; run and manage estate/moving sales return cable boxes, run errands i.e. RMV. all family the time to deal with other issues – medical, housing, legal
Cost Comparison between Do it yourself and professional move managers! Having a profession move manager provides an estimated savings of over $2,600. It can cut cost of the mover because everything is organized, disposed of, and prepared properly. The personal time savings is whatever someone values their time! Everyone values their time differently and at certain times it is PRICELESS!
This is what my recent client said about my service ‘’ I NEVER COULD HAVE DONE THIS ON MY OWN.” “ I NEVER COULD HAVE FOUND ALL THE BEST PEOPLE ON MY OWN WITHOUT A LOT OF TIME-CONSUMING PHONES CALLS AND OTHER FOLLOW-UP” and “IT WAS WELL WORTH YOUR FEE.”
Then there is the other side of the story – This is a person who I talked with about using my services and they didn’t. I just received this email the beginning of the weekend. It doesn’t matter whether they were being stubborn or thrifty this move should not have gone as bad as it did. WHICH MOVE WAS THE BETTER ONE?
These are just a few good referrals for WITTZ END. Just to give you a brief idea. You never know where and when you will come across a person that could use WITTZ END
