Testimonials: I cannot begin to find the words to express my gratitude to Judith for coming in and helping me organize my apartment. She has a gift and an expertise for knowing exactly what to do to make the project seem not so overwhelming and she definitely worked her magic with me. I was unable to get rid of things and Judith really helped me see my way to a much airier, sparser apartment that makes me incredibly happy. When I do move, Judith will be my first call. I cannot recommend her enough--she is a godsend. Terri – Judith and her extraordinary team executed the near impossible task of downsizing and moving my 77 year old, disabled mother after my father died. My mother had a lifetime of things that needed, sorting, organizing, donated, sold or moved in a very short amount of time. It was done without my mother or our family having to do anything except grieve with my mother, which is what families should be doing at such a crucial time. Not only did her team do such an incredible job downsizing, but Judith herself played the role of social worker, best friend, advocate and decorator for my mother. She assisted in all measuring for new furniture, organizing and assembling the new home and followed up on all loose ends for weeks after the move. Words alone cannot express our deep gratitude for Judith and her team that saved us from a near tragic situation. Daryl – We were very pleased with the work done by Judith Moves You to move my Mom from Manhattan to Alexandria, VA. I was truly dreading the process, but thanks to you and your staff everything went very smoothly and I believe was as stress free as possible. I particularly appreciated your seamless coordination with the Senior Move manager who worked with us in Virginia to set up the apartment on move in day. We were both also very impressed and appreciated your considerations of the financial aspects. You kept the costs down as much as possible through use of your network and even made us some money on the sale of the silver. You were very compassionate and effective in working with my Mom and considerate of her memory issues. My siblings and I also appreciated that you encouraged us to work on sorting and organizing in partnership with you to keep costs down and keep all of us on schedule. I would have no hesitation in recommending your services to other clients. Chris – Judith, I want to thank you for doing such an outstanding job in managing my move! There were so many things that needed doing and you did them all with great skill and care. And you were such a delightful person to work with, whipping with the needed lashes to spur me on and always telling me that I would make it (despite my frequent doubts). Ann – I needed, as the English say, to “move house.” I’m a Manhattan boomer who, with my partner, knelt too often at the altar of retail. We two men were with too much stuff including collections of art and books. Moving a lifetime of things is traumatic. I was introduced to Judith upon the recommendation of a brilliant and caring Family Law attorney. She had interviewed Judith because Judith Moves You, Judith Kahn’s business, sounded interesting. It is. And I wasn’t surprised to realize on our initial meeting with Judith that she is fully capable of immediately identifying a project in all its details, sizes and challenges. She has zap and courage, focus and resolve. Moving older people is her specialty and her genius. The experience of Judith moving us was really Judith resolving our vexing logistical problems. She defeated those problems that make me blanch even on reflection. Quickly and efficiently while connecting to our questions with her gentle approach, she indeed moved us. Well beyond packing and moving, her understanding of people, fine art, family mementos and even computers is astonishing. Judith is a creative thinker who is a tenacious project director. Eminently fair and trustworthy, her optimism continues to inspire my partner and me. I can hear her now: “Let’s get it done.” James and Richard – Judith was an enormous help in coordinating my mother’s move to the independent living residence. She helped my mother focus on what she needed to move into her new apartment, especially with clothing and furniture. She was always caring, patient and considerate and made the process fun and upbeat for my mother. She orchestrated everything and helped with the actual move.She also helped us donate the discarded clothing & furniture to charity. Her personal attention, calm manner and great communication skills resulted in a flawless move for my mother and made it clear that hiring her was the right decision. Jeffrey – Judith helped moved my uncle, an artist with loads of canvases, and handled the technical details of that and the heavy lifting of moving with aplomb and sensitivity to the needs of someone leaving their long-time home for something unknown. J.S. – I want to thank you for your help organizing and overseeing my parents recent move from their apartment in Manhattan to Assisted Living in Westchester County. They were thrilled to walk in to their new home for the first time and find all their belongings already in place; that never would have happened without you! The attention you paid to all the details of this complicated move was extraordinary. I am happy to recommend you to other families facing the same challenging life transition. Patti – I want to thank you for your outstanding services in supporting my father’s move. The service you provide in making a difficult move easier was welcomed and appreciated by all of us. The care and sensitivity you applied in meeting with my father when we were first planning the move went a long way to helping him make the transition. Your services from helping plan the layout of the new space with an eye towards creating a familiar and safe environment to the actual packing, unpacking and managing the new space set up were central to making the move successful. Ernie – I recently moved to the Upper West Side. As a 93 year old with no family I asked Ms. Kahn to help me. She packed and discarded more than 40 years of possessions, arranged for the movers, unpacked and contacted the necessary facilities of my change of address. It was all done seamlessly and I recommend Ms. Kahn to anyone considering such a move. Milton – Many thanks for your special handling of my move. As you know, it was quite stressful for me when I first approached you for assistance. You certainly provided me with a comfort zone in your planning. And produced results that made me feel even better. From getting rid of oversized furniture, substituting existing items and purchasing new furniture, you took charge of getting things done. Not the least of which was the placement of furniture and my numerous pictures. I certainly can say I am satisfied with the services you provided. Harold – The move was greatly helped by Judith. It was a very hard thing for me to do after so many years in the same apartment. She made it so much easier, I don’t know how I would have done it without her. She was fantastic. Janet |
