About Crown Senior Transition Services of Florida

How Crown Senior Transition Services Started

Having started in the relocation industry in 2002, Linda Garcia has moved hundreds of customers locally and across state lines. In the course of her career, she came across a number aging customers who did not have any friends or family close by to help with their relocation. Moved with concern, Linda thought the only thing to do was to jump in and be the help they needed. Going above and beyond her job description, Linda helped sort, pack and donate their personal items as well as making sure their move went smoothly. Realizing the need for this kind of service, she started Crown Senior Transition Services, LLC. Crown Senior Transition Services has expanded services to include sorting, organizing, downsizing, custom floor plans, and arranging for the profitable disposal of unwanted items through auction, estate sale, consignment or donation. Services also include arranging shipment and storage, professional packing, unpacking and resettling in the new home, cleaning, waste/junk removal, shopping for necessary items, and staging to help prepare the home to be sold.

Crown STS is fully licensed and insured and is a member of NASMM (National Association of Senior Move Managers) whose managers have moved over 80,000 customers nationwide. NASMM is the leading membership organization for Senior Move Managers.

What is a Senior Move Manager?

Senior move managers (SMMs) help seniors downsize and relocate during one of the most stressful periods of their lives: when they either decide to move or are forced to move because they need a safer living situation. It could be that the older person just needs a smaller, easier-to-manage home. Or they may have reached the stage where it's no longer safe to live alone or care for themselves without help. Part sympathetic ear, part pragmatic organizer, SMMs streamline the entire process from analyzing the floor plan of a new residence to unpacking boxes and setting the clock radio. - (Investopedia)
