Downsizing

We sort through your home alongside you and help decide what to keep, what to pass on, and what to let go. There is nothing to clean or organize before we arrive.

How do we know what stays or goes? We start with getting to know you first.

Move Management

We pack your home, coordinate and direct the movers, and unpack you on the other side, right down to making your bed. We remove packing material and make it feel like home before the day is over. 

Hiring movers, estate sellers and packers has never been so easy.

Real Estate

Licensed agents from listing to buying. We bring professional staging and photography to your sale, sell the home you’re leaving, help you find your next one, and can assist with cash offers, all coordinated with your move.

Aging in Place

We help you stay safe and comfortable in the home you love, and we help you think ahead, so the worries that keep you up at night do not have to. Whether it’s a future move or simply understanding your options, that is why we are here.

Therese is amazing. She is kind, patient and professional. She is knowledgeable, always looking out for her clients and is always prepared. Therese is the best of the best. I'd recommend her every time without any hesitation. She made every step easy by explaining the steps in a way that I could understand and also by being willing to explain it as many times as necessary. Everyone worked so hard and everyone was so kind to me. It was an awesome experience. I'm grateful to all of them.

Therese and her team helped my sister and me move our 94 year old mom to a senior living community last year. They were so kind and respectful. They took care of everything. Packing, arranging the movers, and unpacking. We couldn’t have done it without them. Then, a few months later, I found the need to use her wonderful team again for myself. Sadly, my husband’s health declined much faster than we expected, and he passed away. Therese and her team were there to help me downsize, move, sell the house, have an estate sale, and help me get settled in my new apartment. I highly recommend abiRiver Consulting. They really do care.

I'm a real estate agent and have referred several clients to abiRiver. They have been an absolute godsend, especially for my elderly clients who need assistance with downsizing, packing, and moving. Therese and her team have wonderful patience helping them sort and make decisions on what to keep, and her connections with estate sales have provided a very easy and productive solution for the items that they don't want to keep. They really do offer full service from start to finish. Their flexibility to offer custom solutions for each client and their professionalism are just a few reasons that I will keep referring them!
