Some questions to ask yourself:
Sharon helps thoughtfully sort belongings into clear categories: what to keep, give to family or friends, donate, sell, or let go. She also considers the size and layout of the new home so the items you choose to bring will fit comfortably and function well in the space. Using a simple color-coded sticker system, she keeps the process organized, manageable, and easier for everyone involved.
Family heirlooms are handled with the utmost care, whether passed down, preserved, or sold. Distribution is thoughtful, ensuring items are either lovingly passed on or stored with respect. Each cherished item is treated with dignity, honoring family traditions while easing the emotional weight of the process.
Sharon takes special care with valuables, using secure packing and extra precautions to ensure safe transport, both locally and nationwide. Fragile items are handled with the utmost care, providing peace of mind throughout the entire move.
Important documents, family photographs, and other irreplaceable records are carefully sorted, organized, and preserved. Sharon can coordinate secure scanning and digital archiving so families have accessible copies while protecting fragile originals. Special care is taken with personal, financial, medical, and legal documents, with attention to privacy, secure handling, limited access, and safe storage or disposal when appropriate.

Using Suite Homes 3D, we create a floor plan of your new space to ensure everything fits perfectly. We measure furniture, arrange items, and even hang pictures and clothing to make the space feel like home immediately. We build new furniture and arrange books as they were before, making everything familiar. For Memory Care clients, we reduce Relocation Stress Syndrome by replicating familiar surroundings. Studies show that familiar environments ease the transition, helping your loved one feel at home right away.
For homes in HOAs or hard-to-access areas, Sharon uses online auctions to reach both local and nationwide buyers. For accessible homes, she can coordinate on-site estate sales. She also works with qualified appraisers to identify and properly value higher-end items, with nationwide shipping available when it can increase the pool of potential buyers. This approach typically produces stronger results than relying on a traditional garage sale.
