“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.”

“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
“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
“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 my and my residents’ lives easier!”
