Listen Later

Imagine leaving the home you've lived in for 30, 40, or even 50 years and downsizing all of your belongings so you can move to a smaller space or assisted living. This can be a very sad and sentimental experience for many people. How do you sort through all of your belongings that you've collected over the years, picking and choosing what stays and what goes? If your parents or other older loved ones are facing this transition, it's important to support them in every way possible.

In this episode of Absolute Trust Talk, Madison Gunn welcomes husband and wife team Art Lotti and Andriana Mendez, owners of Custom Moving and Hauling. Their passion is to consistently provide a custom personalized experience for seniors who are moving, decluttering, and cleaning out as they prepare for a new chapter in their lives. Their process includes talking through client goals, uncovering the challenges, and then working to provide a creative, efficient, and understanding solution through this deeply personal event in life. Having earned their Senior Move Manager Certification status, Custom Moving & Hauling has prioritized downsizing moves to support their mission: Helping you through life's many transitions™.

 Through this discussion, Art and Adriana will cover:

  • How to determine what to keep and discard leading up to moving day.
  • How to memorialize sentimental items if they cannot be moved.
  • What options are available to remove unwanted items from the home.
  • How to handle moving day with your parents and loved ones when it arrives.

And more.

When faced with this challenging life transition, it can be helpful to involve experts like Art and Andriana not only to manage expectations but also to handle the process's details and intricacies so it can be carried out as seamlessly as possible, with minimal stress for all. We can't wait to have you join us and share this episode with your family and friends.
