Senior & Specialty Move Managers assist adults and their families with both downsizing to remain in their current home, as well as the entire process of moving to a new residence. Move Managers specialize in helping their clients with the emotional and physical aspects of sorting through a lifetime of memories in the transition process, while providing them with effective options and resources to increase efficiencies and reduce stress. The theme of this year’s celebration, “Our Time to Shine,” underscores the brightness, dedication, compassion, commitment, and unique skills Senior Move Managers® offer their clients and families throughout the downsizing, relocation or aging in place process.
NASMM Member and Austin-area Real Estate Broker Cyndi Cummings has created a unique added service that she offers to her sellers. It is a “concierge” moving experience called Turnkey Transitions® which provides her clients and their families with not only an MLS listing and top-tier marketing, but invaluable hands-on help with arduous tasks such as sorting, selling off, staging, moving out, moving in, and, finally, setting up of her clients’ new homes.
“My goal always is to customize a plan for the older adult that takes into account their current living situation and overall life plan,” says Cyndi. “Whether they are considering a move from a family home to a smaller apartment, mother-in-law cottage, or retirement community, I work to provide the family with a variety of options to reduce out-of-pocket expenses or defer income streams to help the older adult either remain independent or be eligible for financial assistance possibilities.”

This dedicated service not only comes with the care you would expect from a company specializing in working with elders and boomers, it alleviates strain between parents and adult children, helping to keep relationships strong throughout the move.
