What Our Clients Are Saying
“My first move in 30 years was a move to an apartment in a continuing care retirement community. The task seemed overwhelming, particularly packing and downsizing 30 years of accumulated belongings into a living space nearly 50% smaller. Adele and Smooth Move Managers stepped in and accomplished a hands-on miracle. What had seemed impossible to me was accomplished with seeming ease."

Len Alfredson
"You offer the camaraderie and encouragement of a friend and the organizing skills that only an expert can provide. You've made this seemingly insurmountable task much easier and more pleasant that I thought possible."

Vanessa Winter Hall
"Adele and her team helped me move my parents from their home of over 60 years to assisted living. She was gentle and kind to my parents, gaining an understanding from them of what they wanted to bring. She then made a detailed floor plan to place all the items. There's no way I could have done this by myself! My parent's new apartment has the feel of their home. A Smooth Move indeed!!"

Jan Buchanan
“Adele helped me for 3 hours this past Sunday to get my office/craft space under control. She was kind, knowledgeable, patient, and relentless enough that we got the job done. I love my new space! I felt like I already knew “how” to get the job done, but she had extra insights I hadn’t considered and it was so helpful to have a 3rd party there to help.”

Bonnie Moore
“Adele is very efficient in her work and has a very positive, cheerful, uplifting and compassionate personality that makes working with her easy, pleasant, and productive. She has my highest recommendation.”

“Smooth Move Managers did an excellent job of helping me to move. I needed to downsize and Adele was great with sorting out what to keep, donate, and trash. She also is able to connect you with other services that you might need. Smooth Move Managers is an efficient and thorough company. I would highly recommend them.”

“Smooth Move Managers was an essential component of making my mother’s transition to assisted living as frictionless as possible. Adele and her colleague, Nicole, were with us every step of the way guiding with care and respect the difficult and emotional tasks that are inevitable with significant downsizing. I am grateful to Adele for her expertise and hard work. I recommend her service without hesitation.”

Susan Robertson
“Adele coordinated the entirety of my elderly mother’s move within assisted living. She brings a wealth of experience, decisiveness, excellent instincts and emotional intelligence. Could not have done it without her."

Mark Narron
“Adele and Smooth Move Managers did a fabulous job with helping my mother get ready to move. I live in California and my mother was in Virginia but Adele was always communicating with me and providing options on how to take care of various aspects of the move. I can’t recommend Adele and Smooth Move
Managers enough. They took so much stress off my shoulders and made the process very efficient.”

John Brown
“Adele has been a Godsend. While in the middle of preparing my house for sale, I had to be away for 6 weeks. She was able to coordinate all my sales through Facebook Marketplace, schedule all pick up times and be at my house to hand over the items. All this with great flexibility on her part. I am grateful for her help and encouragement through this very difficult process.”

Maggie Tremols
“Your attention to detail, coordination skills, and the holding of people accountable to their contract responsibilities were critical in making my move both a success and without incident. As I am now comfortably ensconced in my new residence, I just wanted to thank you again for your hard work and dedication in insuring that my residence was set up exactly as we had planned and expected.”

Larry Rudolph
“If you are planning a complicated move under difficult circumstances, Adele is the person to contact! In addition to her fantastic organizational skills, Adele knows how to help her clients coordinate with furniture movers, estate sale companies, and realtors. Her system for downsizing made the sorting process go really quickly, and frankly, I had fun with her while doing it!"

Barbara Beatty
“Working with Smooth Move Managers made our transition from a three-story townhouse to a two-room apartment in a retirement community doable.
