Service Descriptions and Fees
What we promise
We promise to exceed your expectations for the cost.
We promise to help you meet your goals. We will gently remind you of this, with your permission.
We promise you more value. We do not charge for time spent on the phone, in email or via text with you to answer your questions or direct you to our extensive list of resources.
We promise not to leave or sign off on anything until you are satisfied. We review our estimates as well as any mover estimates with you so you know exactly what you are getting.
We promise to represent you above all others. We work with great partners including movers, designers, IT professionals, estate sellers and real estate professionals but you, not they, are our client.
