Anne’s Auckland house move while she was on holiday.

Clare Gregory-Jones
August 25, 2022

Anne and her husband were on a sailing vacation when she called me to ask for help organising her Auckland house move.

She needed someone to look after everything as she wasn’t planning on being back on dry land until after settlement day.

Preparing for Anne’s Auckland house move

I picked up the keys from her real estate agent, took an inventory and set to work on organising Anne’s Auckland house move into storage.

The 4 bedroom, plus studio, home was a main residence and contained lots of artwork of varying sizes and media. Several artworks would not fit into standard packaging so we created bespoke containers to ensure the items were protected for long term storage.

We stripped the beds and laundered the linen making sure it was fresh and dry for packing into storage.

The garden required some special attention too. We identified the items that needed to be donated and disposed of and using the power of social media and our local contacts, ensured the outdoor spaces were cleared and tidy so that Anne’s Auckland house could complete settlement.

A successful Auckland house move

We completed the entire job without meeting Anne, but we kept in contact to provide regular updates and check in on her requirements. Anne was able to enjoy her vacation without interruption, whilst knowing our professional team were looking after everything in relation to her Auckland house move.

About the Author

Clare Gregory-Jones

I’m Clare Gregory-Jones, owner of Move by Design. My journey to becoming a professional move manager has been some 40 years in the making. My family has owned successful furniture removal businesses since the 1970s. My father was Harrods trained and dedicated his working life to the moving industry, whilst my brother built strong ties with real estate agents and solicitors to become a preferred and trusted supplier for estate related moving. It’s this background that provided part of the foundation for creating Move by Design. However, I also bring my own experience. I’ve moved home some 9 times in the past 18 years, including moving to New Zealand from the UK almost 20 years ago.
