Downsizing

Downsizing = moving to a smaller space.
Seems simple, but every situation is unique, and can generate lots of emotions.

We’ve helped many local families navigate the emotional and logistical hurdles of moving to a smaller space. Our knowledge of the area’s senior living options, real estate trends, and local resources will ensure a smooth transition that keeps you feeling empowered and in control throughout the process.

How Evolve Home Organizing Solutions Helps You Downsize

  1. Ask Us Questions (about 15 to 30 minutes) – there are a lot of questions that come with moving to a smaller home or moving to a senior living facility. We have a wealth of experience with the process and with all your options for places to move. We can help you understand what it looks like to prepare for the move, to move, and what things will look and feel like on the other side of the move. This is your time to find out how we can help you and your family with the process of downsizing. (Click here to schedule this free phone call).
  2. Let Us Listen to Your Story (about 1 hour to 3 hours) – Every story is unique, and so are the memories your home holds. We always take the time to listen to you about your unique needs and desires, and what brought you to the decision to downsize. Help us understand what’s important to you and why it’s important, so we can help you organize your move and treasured possessions in a way that gives you the life you’d like after your move is complete.
  3. Draft the Plan (about 3 hours) – Evolve’s team of planners are experts in getting you from point a to point b. Your an expert on your life and situation. So we approach the planning process in a collaborative way. Let’s sit down together and draft our moving plan as a team. We’ll bring floor plans for your destination, whether it’s a house, condo, or assisted living, and help you plan everything from where the furniture will go to what you’ll bring with you.
  4. Work the Plan (determined by the plan) – Evolve starts with working sessions that are three hours long. We’ll help you sort and pack your things, all while keeping you the decision-maker in the room. These are your items, your memories, and your decisions to make. We’ll continue to work the plan, helping you sort, pack, and move (saving you hundreds of dollars on moving expenses) in short sessions until the job is done.
  5. Settle In – when you’ve moved into your new home, it will be time to settle in and relax (and leave us a review on Google and Facebook).

From our clients:

“Evolve helped me move from a larger residence to a smaller senior downtown apartment.  My organizer was creative in designing the layout for a downsized apartment.  She produced a 3D design template so I could envision the placement of furnishings before moving.  She collaborated with the movers, and she even followed up after I was in the new location. 

I highly recommend their service.”

More from our clients:

“Reminiscing on this Memorial Day morning, Fred and I recall that we sold our home in November ‘22 and April ‘23 were settled in our apartment at Freedom Village, Holland, MI. At the time it seemed like a daunting task. Now, the end of May, ‘23, we are settled on the first floor of a pleasant, two-bedroom apartment overlooking the Macatawa River basin. We happily call this “home”.

Thanks to your company, Evolve, we were efficiently packed and transported here. As I opened boxes and recognized your and Annie’s carefully wrapped China and best glassware, I remembered the many hours of working together in our home on Barkentine.

We have positive feelings concerning the support and labor you offered, plus the young men that drove the moving van-“Pro-Low” to transport our things. Your company is efficient and personably supportive”

Thanks!  Fred and Charlotte Leaske
