ABOUT US
Senior Moving Specialist Grand Rapids
Think of us as Family
We treat every client with dignity, respect and we handle your project in a private and confidential way. These are big days, and can often be a source of great stress. As the first Senior Move Specialists® in West Michigan, Seniors Moving Smarter has the “know how” to get the job done, but more importantly we help our clients feel comfortable along the way. Delivered by a team that is literally a family, and led by someone who is passionate about helping people.
Who Is Coming Into Your Home?
The vast majority of moving companies rely on independent contractors or day laborers. These workers are not protected from liability the same way as an actual employee, which could affect the liability of the homeowner. Seniors Moving Smarter does not use day laborers. Our employees are paid for every single job and are entitled to unemployment and worker’s compensation benefits. In addition, they are trained, supervised, and given direction by the company. We know about the people coming into your home, which gives you more peace of mind and a sense of trust and comfort.
Legally Bonded. Ethically Committed.
As part of the National Association of Senior Move Managers (NASMM), we have been reviewed for insurance and experience requirements, and remain knowledgeable by continually taking classes in Senior Move Management. You’ll benefit from this ongoing education, which is reflected in the way we’ll work together. We also adhere to the Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice as guided and supported by the NASMM Ethics Compliance Committee.
Our Team
Lori Tack
Creative Director
We knew Lori would fit in well when she told us the story of her moving a whole church. Not just the furniture, but a church building weighing thousands of pounds! Lori brings a background of non-profit leadership to our team and can combine her past skills in construction with our moving teams. We are lucky to have her help.
Kelly Ross
Customer Relations Specialist
Kelly brings warmth to any room she enters. Her outgoing personality matches well with our Sales and Marketing team. She’s a longtime resident of the lakeshore and enjoys spending time with her large family. Kelly helps spread the word about our top notch service helping our clients set up their new home. We’re so grateful to have her on our team.
AnnElise Rudin
Move Specialist®
AnnElise is a valuable member of our team. From her past working as a social worker, to her time spent as a home school teacher, she brings a valuable skill set to each move. Whether it’s creating order from chaos or problem solving, she works hard to get the job done. She loves seeing a new home being put together and we are grateful for her.
Julie Corby
Move Specialist®
Julie brightens everyone’s day. She is fun, smart, and energetic. Her skills as an event coordinator for a successful architectural firm lend themselves perfectly to working with our clients, managing their projects and making sure everything goes smoothly. She will get your job done quickly, make sure it is done right, and do it with careful thought to your needs. We are thankful for her spirit and her enthusiasm!
Leah Smith
Move Specialist®
Leah has a heart for service and hospitality. Her passion for both helps to make a difference on our team. She loves getting into the small details during a move; especially organizing and decorating. Hearing stories and getting a glimpse into a client’s life journey allow Leah to use her strengths together every day.
Marjo Stauffer
Move Specialist®
Marjo brings a ton of experience and energy to our team. As a senior hair designer she made sure her clients were happy and she’ll make sure you are happy too! Sorting, downsizing and clearing house are just some of the daily tasks Marjo loves to do. She is quick to think through a project and her “how can I help?” attitude makes her a great asset to our team.
