Who we are
Move Coordinators provides expert Move Management, Downsizing Services, Senior Relocation, and Estate Sales Services in Edmonton, Alberta and surrounding areas. Our experienced team will assist with the most challenging and important aspects of transitioning to a new home easily, and within your budget and timeframe.
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 (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.

- By taking on the job of sorting, photographing, labelling and coordinating an on-line auction of more than 50 years of accumulation, the Move Coordinators team took so much stress off of me, with no money required up front. The team of 3, including Karen, were very pleasant to work with, respectful & knowledgeable. While stressful, letting go of much was a relief and freeing at the end of the day.
- The move out went well, I see this experience as an investment in my mental and physical health.

Choose Your Movers Carefully
Move Coordination
Moving can be a daunting experience. Our team simplifies and manages your entire moving process, allowing you to keep costs down and make it as seamless as possible. We’ll work with you to decide what will move with you, and what will not be making the trip to your new residence. Ask us for referrals to the most reliable and trustworthy movers in your area.
Downsizing
Take advantage of our tools and resources to make your Downsizing move manageable. We work with our Clients One on One, to assess the Full Moving Process, and make choices on the items most needed for keeping, disposal, donation, or sale, and will help sell your goods safely and efficiently.
Senior Relocation
Downsizing, packing, moving out of the original home and into a new home is a lot of work! Add to that potentially preparing the original home for sale and you have a long “to do” list! We help seniors move as comfortably and seamlessly as possible.
Estate Sales & Cleanouts
Our experience within the local Edmonton market has allowed us to build a large database of both potential buyers and charities that are interested in a wide range of household items. We separate items for donation to charity, and set up Auction Services with us to sell items of value in an estate situation. We have extensive consignment and dealer contacts to achieve the most value for the items you need to sell.
Move & Downsizing Auctions
Downsizing and moving results in lots of great second hand stuff that needs a new home! We connect buyers looking for great deals and sellers looking to part with quality goods through our convenient online auction website. Check out what’s currently available and stay tuned as new items are listed!
