Applause - Harmonizing during a Chaotic Life Transition

Recently Bereaved:
"You and your crew exemplified sensitivity while answering every question I had — probably multiple times. Thank you for freeing me up to grieve, while handling Frank’s apartment with such compassion and speed."
— Ann G., College Professor, New York, NY

"After my husband died, I was too busy and emotionally spent to de-clutter my home, which had been neglected during years of illness, and which was also still filled with his belongings. With enormous skill and sensitivity, the Seriatim staff guided my son and me through the process. Without banishing my husband’s memory, they gave us a clean, fresh start, in a very real way allowing us both to move on."
— Erika, Author, New York, NY

Aging:
"Every tenant here who availed themselves of your caring, capable company’s assistance is extremely pleased — and still discussing how we ‘old timers’ could not have made it without you. Moving is very, very stressful, but the way your company organizing us, color-coded and categorized our things, and put everything into order, made this usually horrible event almost pleasurable. Again, all of us are extremely grateful you came into our lives. We did not have any breakage or damage. We have no difficulty locating our things when we need them. We know what we have in storage. It is our sincere hope and intention to engage Seriatim when we return to our beautiful Harlem home next year."

Facing a Health Challenge:
"I am in awe of the miraculous effects of de-cluttering and organizing my apartment. For the first time in 20 years, I feel as if I own my own space. Going through all my ‘stuff’ forced me to ask the following questions: What do I really use and want? Does this still belong in my life? Did it ever? What do I love? How do I use my space, and is it comfortable for me? Do I feel my space and my things support who I want to be? I am now asking these same questions about everything in my life. I have come home to myself. This is true healing, for in the process of inquiry comes inner strength and harmony."
— Marisa, Stage 4 cancer survivor, New York, NY

Fire:
"After a small fire erupted in our apartment, my husband and I took a few days out-of-town to settle our nerves. Like beneficent sprites, Seriatim (who had long been helping us with bi-weekly paperwork visits) swept in, had our floor refinished, purchased a new carpet for the living room and, miraculously, had the smoke scent removed from our clothing and furniture! More than the cosmetic repair — it was the sense of peace and safety they restored that made us realize just how lucky we are to have met Sonya and her crew."
— Laura B., Cellist, New York, NY

Divorce:
"One's ability to remain focused and calm in the face of chaos is rarely put to the test as intensely as during a divorce, yet in my case, when the time came for me to separate from my family, the staff at Seriatim helped me sort through what to take and what to leave behind, and helped me set up a new home that was at once instantly inviting and psychologically healing - which greatly eased the pain that always accompanies such a life change. Their good humor, reliability, and professionalism made all the difference… Whether it has been orchestrating an emotional move, organizing a knotty set of papers, cleaning a closet, or figuring out computer glitches, the staff at Seriatim has consistently responded with intelligence, sensitivity, and thoroughness. It has simply my very good fortune to have Seriatim help me smooth out the rough edges that life all-too-often hands us."
— Barbara T., Music Teacher, New York, NY

Selling a Home:
"There are times when clients panic and consider not putting their property on the market, especially when they've lived there a long time, and it's filled with their belongings… It helps to have a skilled organizer like Seriatim on your side to get them over the hurdle!"
— Brett B., Vice President, The Corcoran Group

"While I’m busy handling clients’ legalities, I trust Seriatim to handle the practicalities of their moves... From staging to getting them ‘on the road’ in time for closings, Seriatim has the market cornered on ‘move management.’ They’re a great resource for my clients."
— Steven H., Attorney, New York, NY

"Finding creative ways to house excess is not the best use of my time… When Seriatim calls me to bid a job, I know that what I see is what I build for — they’ve already ‘trimmed the fat.’ In addition, I never worry that a client will hold me responsible for a lost bauble or bottle when working with Seriatim, because they know where everything is — and they know what condition it was in before it went into a box! Finally, when a client says they wanted one thing and were delivered another, I reference Seriatim’s communication logs for accurate records… Seriatim has allowed me to perform my best while managing multiple jobs, and protected me from the miscommunications prevalent in our profession."
— Dyan N., Contractor/Designer, New York, NY
