Move management is a service especially helpful to seniors, absentee / second home owners, downsizers (or “rightsizers” as we prefer to say), farm and horse property owners, and people who are just busy with other aspects of their lives or unable to do it themselves.
Sue is a member of the National Association of Senior Move Managers (NASMM) and can coordinate moves with other NASMM move managers around the country.
