  • Select, hire and supervise movers;
  • Professionally pack all items;

  • Reveal the Nextphase of your home! We prefer that the client is away on moving day, and they arrive at 6:00 PM for the reveal to see their home completely set up, as though you have lived there for years!

3. Post Move

Post-move, we follow-up with you, to see if there is anything you may need. As you see, there are many steps involved in a move. Most clients complete a move with 1-2 weeks although we can do the move in phases. While the move to your Nextphase could be consecutively, or months apart – we are there to develop a plan that suits your needs schedule.

Staging and Redesign Services

In order to show the best side of your home, it is best to take the "you" out of your home and de-clutter the space and showoff the features of the home – kitchen, hardwood flooring, woodwork. When we stage the home, normally 50% of the books, pictures and ornaments are removed and placed into storage to allow the buyer to picture themselves in their new home. Our trained staff have experience in redesign and staging to show your home in it's best light.

Preparing the home for sale

We can organize and hire cleaners, painters, landscapers and other contractors to prepare your home for the market. We can recommend relators and put you in touch with the right contacts.

Personalizing your new home

We will work with you to personalize your new home to meet your needs. This may include minor renovations to new home including:

  • Purchase and installation of TV and stereo equipment;
  • Purchase and installation of bath bars and hand grabs;
  • Supervise custom blind and drape installation;
  • Painting the home.


FAQs

Nextphase is a full-service senior move management company, which means that we will arrange every single part of your move. A main element of moving is sorting and organizing your assets and treasures. We often find new homes for items that no longer fit with your lifestyle in consignment stores, charities or with your family members. We find the best price for movers, coordinate the move, unpack and re-design your new home. If your new home needs cleaners, new drapes, new or used furniture, we provide and coordinate all these services.

Yes. We'll unpack all items into your new home, put everything away, hang your pictures, organize clothing, arrange cupboards, set up your television and stereo, even arrange your phone and cable. Like the reality shows we provide a "reveal" once we have your home organized. You will be very impressed at how wonderful you new home looks and feels!

Certainly, you can. But a move is a very complex project with many components to arrange in detail. We facilitate moves every day and have a team of experts . We have relationships with trusted suppliers and moving companies that allow us to organize every aspect quickly, efficiently, and cost-effectively. A major move can easily occupy most of your free time over a two-month period. Save yourself that aggravation by having us do the work!

Absolutely. Helping seniors citizens downsize and move is our key market. It is a difficult period that needs to be handled with care and understanding. We will work with your Mother and you to develop a detailed plan, so you both know what to expect and what needs to be done before move day. We will always be available to answer any questions or concerns you or your mother have.

Ideally, the sooner the better . Call us as soon as you know you are moving. We can plan ahead and provide you with a work plan and schedule. The earlier things are arranged, the smoother and more efficient the move will be.

Nextphase has partners in cities across Canada, and major U.S. cities. We can handle your move across the country with no problems.

Our initial consultation is complimentary and at this time we will assess the size and complexity of your move. We will then provide you a written quote as an estimate. However you will be charged based on actual hours required to sort, pack, move and set-up your new home. If necessary, we can break the work into phases, to reduce the cost of the move. We are very flexible and we will work with you to find an affordable solution.
