Creating a smooth move from one home to another is Margit Novack’s passion.

As the founder of Moving Solutions, she helped revolutionize how people change homes. From organizing to “rightsizing” and packing, she’s made the process easy for thousands of older Americans. Her ideas have inspired other similar companies and helped set the standard for a new industry.

“Our special commitment is working with mature adults, and we also help working professionals accomplish smooth moves in the midst of their overextended lives. We try to educate, listen, and reduce the stress of moving with caring, efficiency, and the most cost effective services,” says Novack.

For each need, a solution
Moving Solutions offers services to eliminate clutter and execute the whole packing and moving process for a customer.

From planning what will be moved to organizing where it will go in a person’s new home, the company covers all the bases. It also provides the most trusted resources to its clients. “Anytime you are going into a client’s house and dealing with their belongings, you use the utmost respect. We use only the best companies that are tried, tested, and true to their word hundreds of times over.”

‘Downsizing reinvented’
Moving Solutions also embraces the idea of “rightsizing” for a move.

Novack says that eliminating clutter and unused belongings is a liberating experience for her clients. “Rightsizing is not a mournful process but a healthy, positive one that can usher us into a new rewarding phase of our lives,” she says. “Rightsizing is downsizing reinvented.”

“This isn’t just getting rid of things you don’t use any more,” Novack explains. “We try to give advice and sometimes even closure to our customers. We come in to every situation and listen. Then we work with the customer to try to identify things, the belongings that are right for you, right now. So often after working with customers, they say our packing was good, but our organizers were great.”

Outstanding inspiration
Novack says she is often asked about why she chose her profession. “Everyone asked if I was inspired to start this business because I moved my parents,” she says, “but that wasn’t the reason I got into this. It was because every time I help someone out, it makes me feel like I’m a daughter. And that’s a special thing.”

“Moving Solutions and Margit have revolutionized moving,” says Julieann Brant, Maris Grove’s retirement counselor. She says a number of residents at the community have used Novack’s services. “She takes the stress out of the equation and makes moving an enjoyable, exciting time for our new residents.”

Shaping an industry
As a pioneer of senior move management, Moving Solutions has been instrumental in shaping the future of this emerging industry. In 2002, the company became a founding member of the National Association of Senior Move Managers (NASMM), an organization that sets industry standards and norms. Then in 2004, it began to develop a new business model. Finally in the spring of 2005, the Moving Solutions Franchise was born to help revolutionize how people across the nation change homes.

“When confronted with a move, so often people stay up late worrying about how they will deal with it all and how they will get every little detail completed,” Novack says. “We just want to simplify things for our clients and help them deal with change.”
