Making Moves Easier for Baton Rouge Homeowners

Moving is already a lot to manage. Our move management services are here to make your move easier, less stressful, and more seamless.

Many of our clients reach out because they’re not sure where to start, don’t have the time to do everything themselves, or simply want an extra set of hands throughout their moving process.

We can help with decluttering, downsizing, packing, unpacking, and organizing so you don’t have to handle everything on your own.

Whether you’re moving across town, into a smaller home, or helping a family member relocate, we’re here to provide hands-on support every step of the way.

What is Move Management?

Move management is a hands-on service that helps take the stress out of moving. Instead of hiring separate companies for decluttering, packing, unpacking, and organizing, our team helps manage the entire process from start to finish.

Whether you’re moving across Baton Rouge, downsizing, or settling into a new home after a renovation, we’ll help make the transition much easier.

Move Management Services We Provide

Decluttering Services

As part of our professional move management services, we help clients declutter before, during, and after their move.

We work alongside you to go through your belongings room by room, helping you decide what to keep, donate, throw away, or move into your new home. Whether you’re decluttering a closet, kitchen, garage, or your entire home, we’ll help make the process much less overwhelming.

We also help sort donations, bag them up, and load as many as we can fit in our vehicle, so you don’t have to make a separate trip.

Depending on available space, we may also be able to help with bagged trash or get it ready for curbside pickup.

Decluttering before your move means you’ll have fewer items to pack, transport, unpack, and organize, helping you start fresh in your new home.

P.S. We’ve helped over 500+clients declutter their homes!

Packing Services

As part of our professional move management services, we help clients get organized, packed, and ready for moving day. We pack room by room, keep similar items together, protect fragile belongings, and clearly label every box so unpacking in your new home is much easier.

Whether you’re moving across town or downsizing to a smaller home, we’ll help create a packing plan that keeps the process organized and on schedule.

Our goal is to help reduce the stress that comes with moving while making sure your belongings arrive safely and are easy to unpack.

Some clients need help packing their entire home, while others only need assistance with specific areas like kitchens, closets, garages, or storage rooms. Whatever level of help you need, we’ll work alongside you to get your home packed and ready for your move.

Unpacking and Organizing Services

As part of our professional move management services, we help clients unpack and get organized after moving into their new home.

We don’t just open boxes and set things on the counter. We unpack your belongings, put everything away where it makes the most sense for your home and your family’s daily routine, and create organized systems that are easy to maintain.

Instead of spending weeks or even months living out of boxes, we’ll help you get settled into your new home much faster.

Whether you need help unpacking your entire home or just a few rooms, like the kitchen, bedrooms, closets, or garage, we’ll work alongside you to make the transition as smooth and stress-free as possible.

Downsizing Services

If you’re moving to a smaller home or just trying to simplify before a move, our downsizing services can make the whole process easier.

We can help you with any aspect of the downsizing process, from decluttering and donating to packing, unpacking, and organizing your new home.

Some clients may only want help with a part of their downsizing process, while others may want help with the whole process; regardless, we are here to help.

Senior Downsizing Services

Our senior downsizing services were created to help seniors downsize into a smaller home, retirement community, or assisted living community.

We help seniors declutter their homes and belongings, pack for their move, and provide unpacking and organizing services once they arrive in their new space.

We understand that downsizing can be both physically and emotionally challenging.

Our team provides patient, judgment-free support throughout the process, helping seniors make decisions at their own pace while also handling much of the physical work involved.

Our goal is to make the transition feel less stressful and help seniors feel comfortable and settled in their new home.

Benefits of Our Move Management Services

Getting Started With Our Professional Move Management Services

We start by learning more about your move, your timeline, and what kind of help you’re looking for.

During your consultation with Olivia Parks, you’ll talk through your goals, the areas of the home that need attention, and whether you’re looking for help with decluttering, packing, unpacking, organizing, or the entire process.

Based on that conversation, we’ll recommend a plan that makes sense for your project.

Some clients only need one organizer, while others benefit from having a larger team to help move things along faster. It really depends on the amount of work involved, your timeline, and the level of help you’re looking for.

How Our Professional Organizers Can Help With Your Move

Moving involves a lot more than packing boxes. Many of our clients reach out because they need help deciding what to keep, preparing their home for a move, packing, unpacking, or getting organized once they arrive in their new space.

Our team provides hands-on support throughout the process. We are friendly, nonjudgemental, professional, and truly just here to help make things easier. We can help you sort through belongings, create donation piles, pack items for the move, unpack boxes, and organize your new home so you can start enjoying it sooner.

Whether you’re moving to a larger home, downsizing to a smaller space, or helping a parent transition into a retirement or assisted living community, we’ll work with you to create a plan tailored to your goals, timeline, and the type of support you’re seeking.

What are the benefits of hiring a move management declutter service?

Hiring a professional organizer before your move can make the entire moving process much easier.

One of the biggest benefits is that you’ll move less.

The fewer items you keep, the fewer boxes you’ll need, the less you’ll have to pack, and the less you’ll have to unpack and organize in your new home. Many clients also spend less on packing supplies and moving costs because they’re not paying to move items they no longer want or need.

Decluttering before you move is also a great opportunity for a fresh start.

Instead of bringing years of clutter into your new home, you can begin with a space that’s more organized, functional, and easier to maintain. This is especially helpful if you’re downsizing to a smaller home or retirement community.

How long does it take to declutter before moving?

Every move is different, so there’s no one-size-fits-all answer.

The amount of time depends on how much you need to declutter, how many rooms you want help with, how much stuff you own, and how quickly you’re able to make decisions.

For clients who are significantly downsizing, the process often takes multiple sessions because there are simply more belongings to sort through and more decisions to make.

In general, decluttering an entire home is rarely a one-day project. We recommend starting as early as possible so you have time to carefully go through your belongings instead of feeling rushed. Taking your time also helps prevent accidentally donating or getting rid of items you’ll later wish you had kept.

How much do move management services cost in Baton Rouge?

The cost of move management services depends entirely on how much help you want and need.

Some clients only hire us to declutter before their move. Others hire us to pack, unpack, organize, or help with multiple stages of the moving process.

Our move management services start at $825 and go up depending on how much help you want or need. The majority of our clients who are wanting help during their moving process are between teh $825-$4000 range.

Because every move is different, we’ll recommend the session that best fits your goals, timeline, and budget.

Generally, the more help you hire, the more of the moving process we can take off your plate, making your move much less stressful.

What can I expect when a professional organizer is helping me declutter my home before a move?

If you’ve never worked with a professional organizer before, you may be wondering what a session actually looks like. We put together a detailed guide explaining our process and what to expect during a decluttering session.

What do you do with the items I decide to donate?

As part of our decluttering services, we can take many of the items you no longer want or need and donate them on your behalf.

We typically donate items to local donation centers in the Baton Rouge and New Orleans areas so they can find a new home and benefit someone else. Please note that we generally cannot remove large furniture pieces or oversized items.

Will decluttering before my move make my move less expensive?

In many cases, yes.

While hiring a professional organizer is an investment, decluttering before you move can often reduce other moving expenses.

The less you move, the fewer boxes you’ll need, the fewer packing supplies you’ll have to purchase, and the less time movers may need to load and unload your belongings.

For example, if you decide to donate fragile dishes, glassware, home décor, or other breakable items before your move, you may no longer need to purchase specialty boxes, bubble wrap, packing paper, and other supplies for those items.

Beyond the financial savings, many clients find that unpacking and organizing their new home is much faster because they’re only bringing belongings they truly want and use. Starting fresh in a new home with less clutter can also make it much easier to stay organized long after the move.

Who are your move management services for?

Our move management services are truly for anyone who wants to make their move easier and less stressful. Many of our clients who hire a move management organizer are:

Can you coordinate my move with my movers?

No. Move-coordination with moving companies is not included in our move management services. We provide decluttering, organizing, packing, unpacking, and downsizing services to assist with your move.

Can you help me prepare my home before it’s listed for sale?

Yes. We can help you prepare your home before it’s listed for sale.

We can help you declutter and organize any area of your home, help you pack up personal belongings that you don’t want out during showings, and get rooms looking their best for listing photos and potential buyers.

Then, when it’s time to move, we can also help you pack everything up and even unpack and organize your new home.

How far in advance should I schedule move management services?

The sooner you can schedule your move management services, the better. Most people underestimate how much time and work goes into a move. It’s not just packing boxes.

There’s decluttering, organizing, deciding what to keep, coordinating the move, and getting settled into your new home.

If you’re selling your home, you may also want time to get it ready for listing photos or showings.

Scheduling early gives you more flexibility and helps make the entire process much less stressful, especially if you’re downsizing.

What areas can you help me unpack and organize after my move?

We can help you unpack and organize all areas of the home such as: closets, kitchens, pantries, bedrooms, home offices, garages, craft rooms, playrooms, laundry rooms, and more
