Seniors

Austin Home Transitions has a passion for assisting Seniors making a transition to a new living environment, be it a smaller home, an apartment or a senior community. A life well lived is certainly filled with many memories that include furniture, art, photos and other possessions. Choosing what to move and how to fit it into the new space can be daunting. And what about the things that are left behind? What happens to them?

Bring on the life transition professionals at Austin Home Transitions and allow us to help you make these emotional choices. Our life transition professionals will develop a move plan and design a floor layout at the new home that is safe, functional, warm and lovely and then aid in selecting the furniture and prized possessions that move to the new living space. For what remains behind, we assure items go to family members, as instructed, or are sold via an estate sale or consignment, or donated to your favorite charity.

Right Size, Facilitate, Coordinate, Make it Home

Our goal at Austin Home Transitions is to minimize the stress associated with a move and life transition. We provide the highest level of service, complete attention to detail, and compassion and respect for our clients and their possessions. We consider it a privilege and honor to come into your life during this difficult time, so we make it our mission to be a calming influence. Ultimately, we want this to be a positive experience that culminates in smiles and satisfaction for all involved.

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."

-Jack and Geanne

"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."
