Move by Design Testimonials
“I thoroughly recommend Move by Design’s services. We needed a move manager quickly and Clare was absolutely amazing from when we contacted her at short notice, through to completing the myriad of tasks we threw at her. All of which needed to be done within a week, so that the sale of our parent’s house property could be completed.”

Whangaparoa“We couldn’t recommend Clare and her team at Move By Design highly enough. Simply put, they took care of EVERYTHING and made moving an incredibly smooth experience. Not only did they do everything they said they would with care, attention and commitment, but also proactively looked after the inevitable curveballs that come up in a move (including organising a last minute plasterer within a few hours!).Clare has selected a team of professionals who are all passionate about doing an outstanding job and do so with a lightness of touch that it important when you have people managing your home and possessions. We could not recommend Move By Design highly enough – wish we’d used them years ago!”5.0 out of 5.0 stars5.0

Takapuna“We could not have moved with pace and efficiency, and also peace-of-mind, without Clare and her amazing team at MoveByDesign. The pre-move planning, packing of the whole house, organising our contents (into things to sell, store short term and long term, and move to our new home), organising removal and storage services, supervision on moving day, post-move follow-up, all done with precision, grace and professionalism. We have never seen anything like it, and will most certainly recommend MoveByDesign to anyone is planning to move house.
Thanks again, Clare.”

St Heliers“Clare and her team were amazing. This was our 3rd move in 3 years and she booked us an amazing removals team, so quick and careful. Her packing team calmly came in and packed up all our gear taking away all the stress. Highly recommend.”

Three Kings“Clare and her team made our move the easiest we have had. It was so good having someone to do all the coordinating, and quite honestly having someone else get the packing done in time for the movers was brilliant. Things like having the right boxes for glasses, mirrors, breakables etc – everything was so well packed.
We needed our furniture to go into storage for a few weeks as in between homes, Clare arranged it all.
The move into our new home was so well organised. Really appreciated the bed being made up!! Thank you Clare, Ania & Jo.”

Coatesville“A big thank you to these guys!! The transition was seamless. It feels a little surreal to be in a totally different home with all your belongings carefully placed and packed away over the space of a day or two.
Clare and her team planned and worked so competently and to such thorough detail, I felt redundant! The brief was so minimal for such a large family home.. We left our house for holidays one day and arrived back to ‘home’ completely set up in a new house! Artwork on walls, beds made, all clothing organised in wardrobes, toiletries displayed, food in pantry! It felt a bit like Mary Poppins, everything was just magically done! Packed, moved, unpacked, arranged, organised, pretty-fied… just absolutely sorted!
Especially for the time poor, or just because moving house can be so overwhelming… this is definitely the way to go. The whole process was so calm and smooth – I couldn’t recommend Clare and Move By Design highly enough!”

Glendowie“Clare was absolutely excellent in helping me unpack, sort and organise boxes when moving into my new place – we got so much more done than I ever would have been able to achieve on my own and her motivation, understanding and support was so appreciated. If you need any help with anything around the house they can help out at any stage, even general organisation if you need. She also helped style the place so it looked good!”

Auckland”Clare came to help me with my move recently which is always a difficult time. Clare was extremely helpful and took a large part of the stress of packing away, having someone calm to work alongside with, helping to make the tough decisions was a real treat. I would thoroughly recommend Clare for packing & unpacking when you are moving house.”

Omaha“Clare and her team were amazing from the very start of this process right to the end. Clare co-ordinated a complex move with absolute professionalism, fantastic service and attention to detail. She kept in constant contact with us throughout and was willing and able to mitigate last minute unforseen changes. She was friendly, helpful and so flexible and responsive.

Omaha“Without you and your lovely team’s hard work, care and support I am sure we would have found these last few months very difficult indeed. Your introductory visits, the hard work that followed and your ‘after job done’ care has made all the difference. Thank you so much.”

Warkworth“Our company engaged Move by Design to assist in relocating our business to a new commercial location within the Auckland CBD.
Due to the size and complexity of the move, it soon became apparent that we needed a team that had the organisational skills to take on a leadership role. Having Move By Design involved allowed our key management team to focus on, and prioritise the key operational aspects of getting the business up and running in time for the reopening.
As the relocation involved a number of departments across multiple high rise sites of varying dimensions (four in total), this was no small feat.
The Move By Design Team were able to familiarise themselves with the dynamics of our business context and understand our requirements quickly. They organised all the ancillary service providers, provided regular written updates and ensured the logistics of the move were thoroughly trialed, tested and in place on the day to ensure as smooth a transition as possible.
We cannot over emphasise the value of the central role Clare and her team played in our relocation. They were professional, capable, competent and organised and they remained on top of every aspect they were involved with, or in charge of, throughout. Clare is the type of person to provide solutions rather than problems, which she did with confidence and a flair for thinking outside the box.
A five star review for a 5 star service! We highly recommend Clare and the team at Move by Design.”

Ray White Principal, Matakana & Epsom“Clare was very helpful and I highly recommend her services. We enlisted her help on short notice to help with a hasty move that had to be completed in two days. She was very accommodating and we were able to arrange a date and time quickly. She relieved much of the burden of packing everything by sealing our fragile items into boxes neatly and efficiently. We would not have managed to move in time without her assistance.”

Devonport“Clare and her team were amazing in every way. A large 4 bedroom house – we had hardly been there for over two years (including no housework done) but there was decades of stuff stored there. I didn’t know where to start and was totally stressed. What I very much appreciated about Clare is she was so non judgmental about my chaos – just calm and practical and problem solving. She and her team did the usual packing and transport to storage that she arranged – but also organised items to donate and sell and items to the dump. Also shredding of business documents. And her team did the most amazing clean of the house – it sparkled! And also organised a whole garden clean-up. So much work which was just more than I could possibly cope with. Clare and her team were a sanity saver and I wholeheartedly recommend them.”

Clare, as the owner, played an instrumental role in ensuring that every aspect of the moving process was handled seamlessly. Her exceptional leadership, coupled with the team’s commitment to excellence, sets MoveByDesign apart from other moving companies. Throughout the entire experience, Move By Design’s team proved to be friendly, approachable, and highly efficient. They not only expertly packed and unpacked my belongings but also provided invaluable assistance and suggestions to overcome any challenges that arose.

Ponsonby“Clare has now helped so many of my sellers and buyers move out of their homes leaving them pristine for the new owners to move in. She helps make what is usually such a stressful time low stress and enjoyable. My only worry is she will become too busy because everyone should use Clare when they are moving!!!.”
