I am very fortunate to have found Caring Transitions of the CCV and Gary Henry. Gary and his team helped me with the seemingly overwhelming task of emptying our large family home of more than 60 years to prepare it for sale. Gary worked seamlessly with our realtor to stage the house for marketing. And after sale, Gary and his team completed removal of all contents, all on time for closing. Importantly, he was sensitive to my challenges in closing a home with many happy memories and family treasures. Moreover, Gary was able to navigate the fact that I now live out of state, managing the process so that I needed to be on-site only occasionally. Kudos to Gary and his team for a big job expertly and professionally done.
Caring Transitions moved my mother-in-law into her new apartment, and then helped us prepare her house for sale. Gary and his team were outstanding -- gentle, respectful, and efficient. Their fee was surprisingly reasonable, too. I highly recommend them.
Settling the estate of my parents was a job I would wish on NO one. It involves decades of memories, household goods, sentimental objects, and complications you cannot imagine unless you've experienced it. Hiring Caring Transitions of the Cuyahoga and Chagrin Valley was the smartest thing I did. They are trustworthy, caring, efficient, and go above and beyond the contract terms. A word to those who may enter into a contract with a transition service... remember that just because your family's belongings hold great value for you, they will likely not be sold at high prices. Lower your expectations on resale prices. The baby boomer estates are full of china, crystal, silver, figurines, coins, furniture, etc. Very few people in this world want to pay high prices for some one else's used and old stuff. I didn't want any of my parent's collectibles, and it would have been free to me. These items served their purpose. They brought joy, served you well, and are now just taking up space. Be happy there is a service that helps you find an outlet for disposal and brings in a few dollars, too. So a huge shout out to the folks at Caring Transitions. You make a very arduous and emotional process run much smoother.
I live in California and was in Cuyahoga Falls taking care of my Aunt when she passed away in September. We have no other family in the area, and everything was left to me to handle. I had no idea where to begin. My aunt had a 2600 sq ft home and she never downsized. I was at a loss calling estate companies that never called me back, or who told me they were so busy because of Covid they couldn't help me for several months. Thankfully I called Caring Transitions and spoke with Jody Schweiger the area Marketing Director. We made arrangements for her to come to my aunt's home so we could discuss exactly what Caring Transition does. The first thing I found they do is they listen... Jody listened as I recounted the months of caring for my aunt and the emotional toll being the primary caregiver took on me. With no family in the area, I was literally alone in dealing with it all. I signed with Jody and let me tell you, Caring Transitions did everything. They worked with my realtor so we could quickly get the home on the market and sold. They sorted through everything in the house, breaking it all down by what could be sold, donations, and trash. They emptied the house completely, so it was pretty much all ready for the new owners. A special thank you to Jody and her team for doing such an incredible job. I really appreciate all you did and your total professionalism.
I have seen Caring Transitions in action on several occasions, and I have always been impressed with both their professionalism and warmth. They treat their clients with such respect and are so friendly. They're always a joy to work with, and I would absolutely trust my own loved ones in their very capable hands.
