Applause - Moving/Relocation

"Sonya, Many thanks to you and your team for getting our family moved and settled in record time. I am so impressed and have raved of your services to many friends. Good wishes for a great summer."
— Jennifer New, New York, NY

"For 6 months I lived, with my dog, in a hotel and waited for the renovation work, in my apartment, to end. Two months turned into 6 months. You can only imagine how disorienting this was for me.

To make matters worse, I was unable to move my neck for weeks, prior to moving back home due to a disc problem. And, the most important person (dog) in my life was so sick. The week before my move, my dog and her illness, was my only focus. I slept on the hotel floor for 5 nights watching her every move. Then came the day to move back home. I had worked with an organizer before and during my move. She was managing the move back in into my apartment. I expected my home to be in comfortable living condition. I had no deadline. She was making the decisions in regard to my move back home. She was very aware of my issues and need for a very organized home. I made it very clear that I did not want work done after I moved home. I walked into utter chaos.

You have the details of the work your company and crew of 2 provided for 3 consecutive days. You changed my world. The two beautiful and talented women took over my home and created the haven I needed.

I can count on one hand the number of questions they asked. They just did what they do. Organized my home and put my toiletries, clothing, stuff, for lack of a better word, exactly where everything belonged. They were so upbeat and professional.

They took control and I am forever grateful.

It wasn't easy for you. I was untrusting due to another organizer unraveling my life. You hung in there and stayed the course. Thank you for being so strong. So understanding. And, so confident. I believed in Seriatim because I believed in you.

I made the right choice.

Thank you so much."

"Thank you so much for helping us make this move! We should’ve found you years ago!"
— Nan & Christi, New York, NY

"I wish I had Sonya to help me with my move on both sides of the Atlantic, because I couldn’t have done it without her here. Sonya can plug you into the do’s, don’ts, where to go and where not to go in New York faster than any guidebook out there. In doing so, she brings your life back to normal; especially if you need to begin working immediately upon your arrival."
— Mary, New York, NY

"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."

"Even though we had mentally prepared for our move, after living in one large apartment for 28 years, we weren't nearly prepared to downsize our living quarters and move our office to a separate locale within the space of three months. To be frank, we approached Seriatim without a clear idea of why or how they could help us. We consider ourselves tidy and organized, but we were totally unprepared for the task of halving our living space… In addition, we were surprised by how differently my husband and I approached the move. We needed a problem solver, a marriage counselor, a confessor, someone with more stamina than we had, someone with a fresh eye who saw our belongings in a new way, and someone with a sense of humor. We got all those things and more with the team at Seriatim… We must have been crazy to try to think we could do it ourselves!"
— Liv and Willi B., Literary Agents, New York, NY

"Although I was originally skeptical about what 'organizers' would do to help, my skepticism disappeared after I saw how Seriatim's sorting, organizing, working closely with the movers and, especially, unpacking, allowed us to not only move, but 'move in,' faster than we could have believed. I lost my Mom before we were fully unpacked and settled. Although not previously scheduled, Seriatim arranged for a number of staff to drop everything and help us at night and over a weekend to put everything in order so that the apartment would look good when friends and family came to pay their condolences. Many people remarked that they could not believe we were only in the apartment for a week, saying it looked like we had been in for a year! Thanks again for making a difficult time that much easier."
— David H., Accountant, New York, NY

"I had a complex, multifaceted move involving 25,000 documents, 8,000 books, four archives, two artist studios, 400 animals — not to mention personal items. My possessions were, in fact, extremely organized before Seriatim; the complexity and nuance of preserving this organization are what made this move potentially problematic… In the end, everything was carefully catalogued, photographed, and moved with nothing lost or broken, and everything was put back into its original arrangement. The personnel was intelligent, friendly, emotionally supportive where necessary, and able to grasp the complexity of the overall move, as well as the details. I will never move again without Seriatim’s involvement!"
— Richard P., Scientist, New York, NY

"When people move, it's emotionally and physically overwhelming. Seriatim manages to address both of those elements, taking a great deal of stress out of a very stressful time. They are thorough, give their all, and makes sure that every 'i' is dotted and every 't' is crossed... They've made me and my residents' lives easier!"
— Rebecca R., Carnegie East Concierge

"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

"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."
