Estate downsize is its own job — not a one-bedroom local with a different label. Forty-plus years in a Bay Ridge brick row, a Brooklyn Heights pre-war held since 1978, parents’ pieces in three rooms that need to find children, charity and the Red Hook auction floor. Rachel runs a separate intake; pace is the variable, not the price.
How the day actually moves
- Sit-down with you and the adult children at the kitchen table
- Tag pieces in every room — goes, donate, family, auction
- Pack and load on the pace you set, not on a stopwatch
- Donation pickup the same week, Salvation Army or Housing Works
- Family pieces routed under one bill of lading by Tariq
Senior pricing notes
Same $215 hourly rate — no senior surcharge, no senior discount theatre. Two-mover crew unless the brownstone needs three. No clock pressure — if the day runs long because we paused to box family photos, we don’t round up the invoice at the end.
Off-state snowbird coordination
- Florida, Arizona and the Carolinas under one signed flat
- Bill-of-lading routed to the seasonal address
- Storage hold in Sunset Park between snowbird stints
- Pull the load back to Brooklyn for spring
- Probate-friendly inventory if the move follows a passing
