Life’s Transitions

Life’s Transitions

Moving is hard

Ask anyone who has packed and/or moved a few times and the sentiment is nearly unanimous: all would hire professionals to handle all facets of the move if they had to do it again. And that sentiment only gets more pronounced the older we get. People are simply too busy to deal with the logistics and the physical, mental and emotional energy any move demands. We prepared this checklist to help you realize what you may be taking on if you attempt the move by yourself.

Call the professionals

Austin Home Transitions is the professional move management company of choice to plan, manage and complete moves at all stages of life.

Life’s transitions challenge even the most committed, organized and energetic individuals. Put those skills to better use focusing on your day-to-day responsibilities and let us take care of the daunting details every move presents. We’ll develop a plan that suits everyone and then we’ll implement it with precision and care.

Welcome to your new home

Thank you notes from our clients:

"Liz, thank you so much for the help you gave to Mom & Dad on their recent move to Austin from their ranch two hours away. You made the transition so much easier with your calm manner, great attitude, and all the super ideas and sources you knew for all the myriad details in a major move such as this. Having your help made the difference in their move not being too stressful and having it turn out to be the pleasure it was. My sister and I realize how fortunate we were to have your help in their move."

Dear Liz,
"Jack and I want to thank you for a job well done. Your help as we moved to Austin really saved the day. Moving is such a stressful thing and your help made it seem almost easy. We really appreciated the moving company you arranged for us. They were excellent professionals who were very enjoyable to work with. Thanks again for all of your help."

"Elizabeth did a remarkable job on my client's home. When given the task of preparing a 50 year old home for the market, she knew exactly what to do! After working tirelessly decluttering, organizing and staging, Elizabeth had the home market ready! Thanks to all of her hard work and expertise, we had numerous showings and a quick offer! This was no small task in a downward real estate market!"

-Nancy (FM Realty)

"Recently it became apparent that my mother-in-law was unable to take care of herself alone in her home where she had lived for over fifty years. The attic had not been cleared in years, and the kitchen cabinets, pantry and closets were packed. It was daunting to think of clearing out the house and preparing it for sale. In came Elizabeth Fitzgerald who worked relentlessly to accomplish what seemed to me to be the impossible.
In two weeks time she had arranged to have the attic cleared and the contents hauled away. She arranged for an estate sale company to appraise and pick up the furniture for sale. She scheduled and supervised new carpet installation and the painting of all bedrooms and baths. Arrangements were made for needed repairs on the outside including painting the trim on the house, repairing of cracks in the patio and landscaping. After all this was completed she staged the house for sale, and it sold very quickly.
After locating a nursing facility, Elizabeth was instrumental to help set up her room including selecting artwork and photos and installing them.
She was a dynamo and an unbelievable asset in accomplishing what seemed early on to be an impossible task. If you are searching for a competent, tireless and sensitive professional to assist you during a difficult transition, Elizabeth is your gal!
I recommend her without reservation."
