Moving & Downsizing
At Parse Home we understand the complicated logistics and range of emotions involved with moving & downsizing. We help ease this transition by getting people comfortably settled into their new home as quickly as possible. We collaborate with realtors, home owners and movers to make the home sale and moving journey easier and more efficient.
We support individuals and families who are:
Going through a divorce
Moving out of the family home into a smaller space
Dealing with the loss of a spouse or parent
Moving into an independent living residence
With a background in design, Parse Home provides a hybrid of organizing and interior styling support. We are passionate about helping people get settled and feeling at-home in their new spaces.
Real estate services
A cluttered, disorganized home can mean more showings, more objections, and potentially a lower offer. Buyers think "If the current owners can barely fit their stuff, how will we?”
We help realtors get listings ready for photos and showings. We bring a designer’s eye when curating existing furniture and accessories to make the home look larger, more organized, and elevated. We can advise on which rooms would benefit most after an initial visit. Services offered:
Room audit & recommendations
Styling & accessorizing
Pantry, closets and mudroom organizing
Decluttering & packing services
We recommend starting to work with individuals when they put their home on the market. It’s easier and less expensive to declutter before packing and moving. We work with home owners to sort through their belongings to determine what can get packed & boxed up now, what can be packed later, and what can be donated. Every situation is unique, and we work with families to create the least disruptive approach. Services offered:
Decluttering and donation management
Packing management (inventory, label & pack boxes)
Plan furniture placement for new home
Move-in services
With an understanding of the individual(s) needs, concerns & belongings, we can efficiently unpack, organize, and make the new space feel like home. Services offered:
Greet movers and coordinate furniture and box placement
Unpack boxes and set up rooms
Kitchen, pantry and mudroom organization
Determine room layout & furniture placement
Style rooms with existing accessories and art
Divorce support services
In addition to the move-in services described above, Parse Home offers services for divorced parents looking to quickly set up their new temporary or permanent residence. We understand the stress and emotions involved in making the second home feel warm and inviting for kids. Services offered:
Review available furniture, home goods, and accessories and provide list of additional items to purchase
Provide budget-friendly shopping recommendations for the items needed in kids’ rooms, kitchen and living areas
