Many San Diego parents are moving within the county, from a longtime house to a condo near family or a 55+ community in Rancho Bernardo, Oceanside or the East County. Others are leaving California altogether. Either way, sorting forty years of belongings is the hardest part.
A senior move manager plans the whole move, from floor plans and downsizing to coordinating movers and setting up the new home.
San Diego move managers create floor plans for the new home, sort and downsize belongings, coordinate estate sales, donations and shipping to family, hire and supervise movers, and unpack and set up the new residence.
Every move manager on this page was chosen for its reputation, not just because it showed up in a search. We gave weight to NASMM (National Association of Senior & Specialty Move Managers) membership, compared public review history, and confirmed the company actually does move management for older adults rather than general moving.
