Read More

Move Coordinators realized the need for assistance with the moving process, after 29 years of work in the Self-Storage business in Edmonton, Alberta. Moving is overwhelming, and so many people require assistance in making this transition less stressful. Seniors, especially, can find the moving process very daunting.

Our senior moving company is a new service in Canada. As a member of the National Association of Senior Move Managers we have experience and contacts to help move elders with ease. Our senior relocation services are tailored to each client.

After an initial, complementary home visit, a needs assessment is completed, and a proposal prepared for your review. We detail all services requested, and suggest others that may be of assistance to you. Our experience in the industry allows us to provide you with expert references to movers in your area, and we are always happy to provide references outside of our own work area through our association with the NASMM, or National Association of Senior Move Managers.

Downsizing first, is a key component of a successful move with several strategies available. Our goal is to make the moving process as smooth of a transition as possible. The end result is for yourself, or, your loved ones, to be settled into their new home, ready to enjoy the next chapter of their life.

Our vision is to provide you or your loved one a seamless move. Let us take you from overwhelmed to settled, with integrity, kindness and great communication.

Our clients ❤️ us

Of all the companies and government departments I've had to deal with since my Mother's passing, Move Coordinators is definitely Number One for customer service. I was so pleased with your prompt attention, your follow-up and how  everything flowed so smoothly. You made a difficult time less stressful. You deserve ***** stars.

Fran Hardy

Karen and her lovely assistants Brenda and Wendy have been a lifesaver for me over the past five or six months. They have provided me with endless help and encouragement, not to mention packing up a household whose residents - my husband and I - lived in for 45 years. I was pretty sure of most things I wanted to keep, but had I been indecisive, they would have been a great help in deciding what was important and what could be let go of. They recommended antique dealers that could appraise and take my many antiques and the movers Eager Beaver Moving. The movers were fantastic - reasonably priced and prompt, careful, dedicated to detail such as runners placed, furniture wrapped in clean blankets, careful storage in truck, etc..

I was so impressed with the fact that when they finished the unloading, they each approached me, shook my hand and wished me well in my new home.

Karen and her girls were absolutely wonderful. They wrapped and packed my artwork and old family portraits with the utmost care and precision. I'm sure that they must have wondered where on earth I was going to put everything I wanted to take, but never said a word about how crazy I was! I felt badly for Karen as she had badly damaged her ankle in May, but carried on like a trooper with her "boot" and I'm sure she must have been hurting a lot at times, but never complained. This has been a very unusual and difficult move as I am still not where my possessions are, but living in a hotel with others whose condos are not available at present. Karen was so helpful in getting into my condo and retrieving things that I hadn't thought to bring as we were not sure how long we would be here, and we had no access as it was still a construction site.

So she and her assistants were totally wonderful and I can't wait for phase two, the unpacking to begin! You would indeed be in good hands with Karen and her girls. I highly recommend them.

Joan Swain

Karen’s personalized, caring approach in helping me deal with all my Mom’s belongings after she passed away suddenly, was such a blessing.  The whole process went very smoothly and within the timelines discussed.  I highly recommend Karen and Move Coordinators.

Cheryl March

Karen was exactly what I needed. She was hardworking and respectful as she helped me clear out my basement and garage after my husband’s passing last year. I have MS and she handled everything from beginning to end and even made me a tidy sum of money.

Tina Herklotz

Clever precise advice and counsel given which helped complete a difficult move in an efficient and timely way.

Bert Murray

Very experienced, very efficient and reasonably priced.

A comfortable experience.

David & Sue Flower

Karen, took the time diplomatically to advise on her first visit the work and dedication it takes to prepare a large multi item sale. We accomplished this huge task and when it came time to contact Karen we had prepared "lots" for the sale for movement efficiency. With Karens on line prep work the job was accomplished without an issue. Thanks Karen for your professional approach.

Glenn Waddell

Pleasant experience and all went well.

JS

Karen is an amazing, thoughtful, and professional moving coordinator like I have never seen! We moved from Edmonton to San Jose, California this summer. She gave me great advice and her warm heart made me feel better and comfortable during such a stressful moving time. With Karen, our moving process was much easier. Thank you very much, Karen!

Kayoko Iwasaki

We downsized recently from a 1200 sq. ft. condo to a small 1 bedroom seniors apt. Since the task of downsizing and moving seemed beyond our capabilities, we interviewed several people claiming expertise in assisting seniors to move. We chose Karen on the basis of her experience and the many useful contacts she was able to provide. Karen proved to be a very organized and hard working person. She assisted with the downsizing process and disposal of our surplus goods, packed for and supervised the move, ensuring that we were comfortably settled and assisted with the cleaning. In short, we were very satisfied with her work and we have no hesitation in recommending her strongly.

Roy & Anne Lang

I made this about as brief as I figured I could, I cut out Paul's move as it made the story complicated & bumpy to read. I figure it covers the important bits but you may wish to make your own editions:

It did not immediately occur to me that there might be specific help given our situation. From Winnipeg, there had to a way to handle my elderly mother's move within an Edmonton care home. Karen and her team were absolutely fantastic and handled literally everything while keeping mom very happy. We did not know at that time Karen would help us again in the near future.

Months later, mom and ourselves decided she should move from the Edmonton care home to a new care home in Winnipeg to be near us. We all got to work coordinating plan with Move Coordinators. Karen moved mom to an available temporary suite keeping her in familiar surroundings with only what she needed until arriving in Winnipeg while the rest of her belongings were moved. Mom's new suite was to be completely set up in Winnipeg before she arrived. A short timeline to the actual move was an additional challenge to having mom in a temporary suite only as long as necessary.

As I headed to Edmonton so as to accompany mom on the return trip, the unpacking in Winnipeg was already taking place ahead of schedule. By the time we returned to Winnipeg my mother's suite was beautifully arranged & decorated. Even the new piece of furniture we needed was already purchased, unpacked, assembled & placed.

It was just as important that mom was comforted & pleased as we met our timeline. Karen and her teammates managed to make all of those things happen and somehow made it look easy.

E & S Johnson and Family

Realizing I had limited time to complete all the tasks required between selling my house and moving selected pieces of  furnishings into a new home seemed overwhelming.

Fortunately we contacted Karen and turned everything over to her.  She took over quickly and I was able to watch as things were organized and accomplished in an orderly way.  All her associates, contacts and contractors displayed the same quality commitment as Karen did. That was the experience we enjoyed and appreciated.  Obviously I am comfortable to recommend Karen, and by the way the service is good value at reasonable cost.

Robin Murray

Hi Karen, We are so appreciative of the great job you did for Ruth! You were able to sell all of Ruth’s furniture and additional belongings in only a week! You went above and beyond making this happen for her. Amazing! Thank you so much.
