• What makes Room Whispers Redesign different from other companies helping seniors move?
  
  Room Whispers Redesign offers a comprehensive solution that can take you from your decision to move, all the way into your beautifully decorated new home. First, Our Certified Real Estate Stagers will showcase the potential in your current residence to make it stand out from the crowd in today’s competitive real estate market. Second, we pride ourselves on our “finishing touches.” Some move transition companies take pictures of your old home and try to recreate your old living space in your new home. Room Whispers Redesigners takes a different approach. We believe a new interior design should be one of the highlights of starting your new life in your new home. All of our Real Estate Stagers and Redesigners are certified.
   

• Can you explain the role of the Transition Manager?
  
  Room Whispers Redesign assigns a Transition Manager to every project. Your Transition Manager will coordinate all aspects of your move and be an integral part of your life throughout the process. From making sure your house is ready to sell (Real Estate Staging), to organizing, downsizing, new residence preparation, managing the move company, packing and unpacking, move-in coordination, decorating, and personal shopping, your Transition Manager will be there to help every step of the way, ensuring a smooth transition into your beautiful new home.
   

• How does the Real Estate Staging process work?
  
  Your Transition Manger will coordinate an exterior and interior walkthrough of your property and provide a prioritized checklist identifying items for repair, change, cleaning, removal, and storage. Room Whispers Redesign can then help prepare your home for sale with a Real Estate Staging Transformation. This could include coordination of contractors, painting, and removal of nonessential items. By rearranging your furniture, art, accessories, and focal point lighting, we will recreate your space for maximum visual appeal and showcase your home’s potential.
   

• What happens during the initial consultation and home walkthrough?
  
  If you are not using our Real Estate Staging services, the initial consultation and walkthrough is where your relationship with your Transition Manager begins. This is where your Transition Manager gets to know you and see your home, review the blueprints of your new residence, and explain our services.
   

• How will I know which services are right for me?
  
  Because every move is different, Room Whispers Redesign offers services in suites or a la carte. Your Transition Manager will work with you to help determine the services that best meet your needs and budgetary requirements. Please see our comprehensive list of services under section titled, “Moving Transition Services.”
   

• Will your company schedule and manage the details of the move?
  
  Absolutely! Your Transition Manager will schedule the various elements of your move and act as your single point of contact throughout the entire process. Working with you, your destination community, and the vendors, your Transition Manager will coordinate every aspect of your move.
   

• How does the downsizing process work?
  
  One of our Certified Redesigners will work closely with you, your Transition Manager, and the blueprint of your new residence to help you decide which furniture, artwork, and treasures to bring to your new home. Once the decisions have been made, your Transition Manager can coordinate resources to take care of any items not going with you to your new home.
   

• How will your decorating services apply to my new home?
  
  Our Certified Redesigners have years of decorating experience to call upon when making furniture, artwork, and accessory downsizing selections. We can also help with paint color, flooring, and window treatment selection. A full description of our decorating services can be found under the section titled, “Redesign for Retirement Living™.”
   

• Do you make your own Custom Window Treatments?
  
  Yes. Room Whispers Redesign has a Custom Window Treatment Specialist who will come to your home with samples and computer aided design software to help you choose the perfect window treatments for your new rooms. We will fabricate your dream treatments in our own workshop. If you prefer commercially available products, we can shop for or with you to make your decorating dreams a reality.
   

• What happens on moving day?
  
  Moving day is a very busy day and your Transition Manager will be there to orchestrate the effort. Our Redesign Team will work with the movers to make sure your furniture and boxes end up in the right places. Our Organizing Team will unpack your belongings and arrange your kitchen, bathroom cabinets, closets, and drawers. Before we leave that first evening, you will have all the amenities of home at your disposal; a bed made to sleep in, your phone hooked up, lighting so you can find your way in your new home at night, and anything else you feel is essential. The Redesign Team will come back to follow through with the finishing decorative touches. You will be completely settled in your new home in a few short days.
   

• Are you and your vendors insured?
  
  Room Whispers Redesign and our vendors are fully licensed and insured. We have forged relationships with some of the best, most reputable businesses in the area. We perform background and credit checks on our employees.
   

• How much do your services cost?
  
  Every move is different. Our competitive pricing structure is based on the services chosen. Other factors influencing total job cost include the size of your current and destination homes, as well as the number and destination of your belongings. Your Transition Manager will work with you to develop a comprehensive job description and cost that fits your budget and meets your needs.
