You Get What You Pay For

Some time ago we got a call from a couple who just moved into their new apartment from out of state.  The husband told us that they were in their eighties and his wife was very weak and ill.  He explained he could not find any underwear or kitchen utinsels.  He explained that the transport company was very nice, however, they dropped everything in the apartment and left. 

Earlier that week, the large transport company came in and packed everything they had in their old home in two days.  They packed literally everything as he was not sure how much would fit into his new apartment.  When he opened a box of food from their pantry, an opened bottle of Hersheys syrup had leaked everywhere.   They asked where he wanted things, however, he really wasn't sure.  When he told me the boxes were to the ceiling, I thought he was exaggerating. 

Transport companies are excellent at getting your items from here to there quickly and efficiently.  They're not built to sit with clients for several weeks planning, sorting, measuring, and deciding what will be transported to their new home, shipped to grown children, sold or donated.  The most common statement we hear at least once a week is, "I wish I had know about you when we moved..."

We were able to help that couple put away all their things, set-up their entire kitchen, hang their pictures, make their beds, hook up their TV/VCR and find his remote control.  We made it HOME again.  Forester Senior Moving & Estate Services has assisted hundreds of people with the stress and details of moving, dealing with the home that was left behind and making sure loved ones are settled-in. 

Our Founder and President, Andrew J. Forester, recalls when he was just starting out.  He remembers a client who had lived in her home for over 35 years.  Each day, she would really give him a hard time about his transition process.  She would say, "Why, what's the big deal? I've moved seven times and I could get my whole house packed up in three days."  Although she thought she knew better, she eventually worked with him through the 4-Step Transition Process.  Later, as they were sitting in her newly established apartment recapping the whole experience, she stated, "Andrew, I've moved seven times, yet I never anticipated how emotional this particualar move was going to be on me.  There were so many things I didn't think of.  I couldn't have done it without you."

Please allow us to help you make your transiton as smooth as possible.
