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.

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.

Carla’s kind smile puts everyone at ease. Her passion for hospitality shines through when working with our clients. Her personality is so warm that when you first meet her, it feels as though you’ve always known her. She has a keen eye for design and loves to cook and makes her own whoopie pies.
MILLIE
Busy Business Dog
Millie works very hard as a member of our team. Most of her time is spent being a busy business dog. When she’s not in the office or serving as our Brand Ambassador, she enjoys long walks on the beach and wrestling with her brother, Ted. Her schedule is pretty full, so forgive her if she doesn’t reply to email right away.
