WAS IT WORTH IT?

It was a huge stress reliever for me that you were able to accommodate my travel schedule back and forth to Mass. and work with me long-distance as well in order to get the house on the market in little more than a month's time.  I really could not believe that we were able to get everything cleared out from the attic to the basement -- all of which were crammed full of 35 years' worth of stuff -- so quickly and efficiently.  I never could have done this on my own. 

Additionally, your contacts with movers, cleaners, re-sellers, and other disposal resources were invaluable and also saved a lot of time and hassle for me.  I never could have found all of the best people on my own without a lot of time-consuming phone calls and other follow-up.  From selling the car, to holding the yard sale, to supervising the movers, you accomplished everything just as I requested and I appreciated the regular updates by both phone and e-mail.

As you know, it looks like the house will be sold, pending the closing, as of today -- after only one week on the market.  I never could have gotten this done and off my plate so quickly without your help.  It was well worth your fee, and I would recommend your services to anyone who contacts me to inquire.

Thank you again, and I wish you the best with your business.  You really did move me from frazzled to dazzled!

THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STORY!

“I'm not sure if stories help but I wanted to tell you how my Aunt and Uncle made out being stubborn. ;) The movers arrived and none of their clothes were packed, thank goodness Mike and I stopped by (they told us not to come but we did anyway). They had disconnected their phone early thus disconnecting their life alert button, the arrive at their new house that only has 1/2 electricity and no A/C. The temp got up to 92 in there that day! Their phone wasn't connected correctly so they again went without a way to contact for help if needed - they are 85 and 70. I won't bore you with the entire story but this is a few things that went ary due to their stubbornness. They are still in disarray with things not in place, still some things in a mini storage etc.

I so give you credit for what you do and think everyone should hire someone like you when they move! :) “

Take care, Betsy
