When it is time to down-size, and you are moving from a large home to something smaller, what do you do with all that “stuff” you have accumulated over the years? Enter Smaller Nest based in Minneapolis. It would take more organizational skills than I have to run a business like this, but this looks to be quite an idea.

“Our clients want help selecting what to keep and what to get rid of. With our background in design and keen sense of organization we help our clients downsize, move and set up their new homes.”

How can they help?

DOWNSIZING

We will work with you to assess what to do with personal belongings. The task of what to do with “all that stuff” overwhelms many people, but we help make this process as quick and easy as possible. Once everything is sorted according to what to keep, what to sell, what to give, and what to toss, we will arrange to sell or distribute the items you no longer want or need.

PACKING

We will supervise the moving company to assure the easiest and most efficient process for packing your home.

MOVING DAY MANAGMENT

We’ll arrive with a complete checklist of items to consider during a move and you can choose which ones you would like to use. Services include scheduling a truck for moving day, being present to meet and supervise the moving company, forwarding mail to your new address, and transferring utilities.

SETTLING INTO YOUR NEW HOME

Smaller Nest will help ease the transition into your new space by unpacking all boxes, and arranging all items in your new home. We will arrange furniture, make the beds, hang pictures, unpack the kitchen, organize medications, personal belongings and dispose of all moving debris. Depending on your preference, we will either re-create your old home as closely as possible or rearrange things to create a fresh look and feel to your new home.

HOME STAGING

We prepare your home for sale by making it more visually appealing to buyers. This process involves de-cluttering the home, rearranging furniture in order to make the home look more spacious, and various cosmetic applications such as painting or landscaping.
