“"Our family would not have made it through the last 8 months without Kris’s tireless work and unwavering patience. She worked side by side with my parents going item by item to help them move from their home of 58 years to a condo half the size. She wrapped and boxed keepsakes, scheduled and oversaw the Estate sale, and found and oversaw the packers and movers. She drew designs for closets for the new condo, measured every square inch to make sure the furniture had a place, and oversaw the contractor who remodeled the condo. She assisted us in preparing the house to rent, connecting us with painters and contractors and found us great tenants, facilitating their lease signing and move-in details. She even found us a much needed CPA and referred us to an Insurance broker to help us transition after our Insurance was not renewed. I could go on and on, but all goes to say that I would recommend Kris wholeheartedly and will always be grateful for her seamless professionalism and personal care and assistance for all of us in a major life transition."”
