Facilitating Decision-Making!

Sorting through a lifetime’s worth of belongings is deeply personal. Our empathetic team approaches this task with sensitivity and understanding, never pressuring you into hasty decisions.

Following a complimentary consultation, we prioritise visiting your new residence, if feasible. Throughout the downsizing process, we stand by your side, ensuring you select the right amount of furniture and household items to create a comfortable environment.

We alleviate the stress of this time-consuming endeavor, aiming to lighten your load. With patience and attention, we respect your decisions regarding your possessions. 

Simplifying Downsizing for Seniors

Following your guidance precisely, we categorise your belongings into three distinct groups:

  • Belongings You’ll Love Keeping

Hang onto those special things that bring you joy and serve a purpose in your life. They’re like little pieces of home that’ll make your new place feel cosy and familiar.

  • Saying Goodbye to Stuff You’re Ready to Part With

It’s okay to let go of things you no longer need or want. Whether you choose to give them away, donate, or sell, we’ll handle it all without taking a cut when we sell on your behalf.

  • Feeling Unsure About Some Items?

If there are things you’re not sure about, that’s totally fine too! We can stash them away in our safe and affordable short-term storage while you settle into your new home. Take your time deciding; there’s no rush. Let your feelings guide you, and we’ll be here to help every step of the way.

Clearing Out and Downsizing Your Household Items

Join us as we explore the various options available when we team up to declutter and downsize your household items.

Selling Furniture and Other Items

If we believe there’s a good chance of selling your furniture and belongings, we’ll handle the sales process for you. And guess what? We won’t take any commission! You’ll only pay us for our time, and all proceeds from sales will be credited to your account with us.

We’ll do our best to get you the highest return possible in today’s market. Whether it’s selling directly to a buyer or using platforms like TradeMe, we’ll choose the best approach. For high-end items, we might even opt for an auction.

Sometimes, it’s tricky to predict the market demand for certain household items. But don’t worry—we’ll guide you on which items are likely to sell well and which ones might not.

Sharing with Loved Ones

Thinking of passing along some belongings to your family or friends? We can help arrange local, nationwide or even international deliveries if needed.

However, if you’ve set aside items for someone who isn’t quite ready to receive them yet, and you’re planning to move before they can take them, you might want to consider storing these gifted items in our safe facilities.

Supporting Charitable Causes

Contributing items to charity is a widely embraced choice. Communities greatly benefit from access to clothing, shoes, bedding, household essentials, kitchenware, furniture, toys and more. If you have specific charities in mind for certain items, we’re here to accommodate your preferences.
At Senior Movers, we excel in aiding individuals in sorting through their excess belongings. Our experienced team is ready to lend a hand in this decision-making journey, if desired. We’re more than happy to arrange pick-up or delivery on your behalf, ensuring your donations reach those in need.

Exploring Other Alternatives

Not everything can be easily sold or donated, but worry not, there are still plenty of options available. We diligently sift through items, identifying anything that could be repaired, repurposed, recycled or responsibly disposed of. Only after thorough consideration do we resort to discarding anything.

Handling Valuable Items

Security: For added peace of mind, Senior Movers offers secure storage for high-value items as part of our service. Each item is carefully recorded and photographed, with copies provided to you.

Valuation: We can connect you with reputable and independent valuers who have no vested interest in your items. They provide objective valuations, empowering you to make informed decisions about your valuables.

Sell: If you’re looking to sell high-end items like antiques, artwork or jewelry, we’re here to help you secure the best possible price. Feel free to seek advice from us or enlist our assistance in selling, without any commission taken.

Safe and Reliable Storage Solutions

Throughout the process of downsizing your home, we offer accessible and secure storage options, whether for short- or long-term needs. This provides a valuable buffer against the pressures of deadlines, allowing you to temporarily store belongings between residences.

Short-term storage also grants you the flexibility to defer decisions or arrangements for certain household items that may be challenging to decide on during this stressful period. Once you’ve comfortably settled into your new home, you’ll be better equipped to make informed decisions regarding the contents in storage.

Confidential Document Disposal

We provide a secure service for the destruction and shredding of confidential documents, including accounts, correspondence, old diaries, and miscellaneous papers. These documents are placed in a specially designed box, sealed at your home and then securely transported for destruction.
