Services
Concierge/Property Management
Taking care of your home takes time and energy. Double that if you have multiple properties. Make sure that someone you trust is there to manage the trades, or see that your country property is warm and dry and ready for your next visit. Do you have a rental property that needs repair but need someone you can trust to manage the services/contractors/renovators on behalf of the occupants?
Move Organizing: all of the logistics
Moving house can be highly disruptive if you’re fully employed, out of town or otherwise occupied on a full time basis. April will consult with you and then run with it, taking care of all or some of the burden of packing, moving, unpacking and setting up in your new digs.
Downsizing/Transitioning
Moving to a smaller home, condo or retirement community? Or perhaps you need to help an aging parent move to an assisted living facility…it’s likely that there are just not enough hours in the day. It can be difficult working with family. Sometimes a neutral 3rd party eases the potential practical and emotional strain on daily life. Get help to ease the transition and take care of the details!
Residential Organizing
Disorganization and clutter zap our focus and creativity. Reclaim your personal time and have a specialist help you audit, purge, remove and sort through the clutter. Key areas in your home will be set up to function at top efficiency.
Interior Design Assistance/Staging
If you’re unsure about how to envision your home, an interior designer can be a great asset. I can be your eyes and ears when you need to collaborate with your professional design staff or home renovator on certain projects. Or simply be the point person that’s there to let them into your home safely. Need an interior designer? I’ll happily recommend my Interior Design and Real Estate Services partner.
Wardrobe Consulting
April Poppe™ specializes in creating stylish and functional wardrobes for men and women who need to look professional but still want a look that suits their personal style. Through an initial consultation I’ll gain an understanding of your unique wardrobe requirements. Help you make strategic additions to your existing wardrobe, with plans for seasonal maintenance and augmentation.
Enjoy the freedom of private fittings in the comfort of your own home.
Dispersal
If you’ve already decided you no longer want something, the next step is removing it from your home. There are countless options (i.e. Donation, resale, refurbish). I will help you determine which option makes the most sense for you and put the plan into action.
