A senior move isn’t measured by speed, it’s measured by getting it right. DSL Moving runs a patient downsizing crew for Norwood and Cincinnati-area retirees moving into a smaller place, with the same COI paperwork and freight-elevator booking used on every apartment job. Melissa Ferring lines up donation-run pickups before the truck backs in.
The senior move protocol
- An unhurried inventory walk with plenty of check-ins
- House-to-apartment downsizes with the COI already on file
- Donation-run coordination with Cincinnati-area charities
- Family-coordination calls handled directly with adult children
- Help choosing which furniture fits, before you sign
Same patient pace, same signed figure. Melissa Ferring keeps family updated at every step, not just on move day.
Pricing a Cincinnati downsize
House-to-apartment downsizes run on the standard flat bands: 1-bed $299, 2-bed $649. Larger Hamilton-area estates price as a custom figure once Trent Oberholtzer walks both addresses. A $95 deposit holds the day, refundable within 72 hours. See how apartment moves work.
What’s separate
Senior moves run slower, and the quote still covers crew, truck, pads and the COI. Piano handling and full pre-packing cost extra; we don’t coordinate estate sales. Home.
What’s Included
- Patient pace, frequent check-ins on the walk
- House-to-apartment downsizes with COI on file
- Donation-run coordination with Cincinnati-area charities
- Family-coordination calls handled directly
- Pre-signing consult on which furniture to keep
What Does It Cost?
Pick the clock or skip it: a two-mover crew starts at $99/hr, or lock a flat band by home size from $299
Either way the truck, blankets, and dollies ride free in the number: $99 for two movers, $139 for three, $179 for four, or a flat rate by bedroom count if you would rather skip the clock. Whatever DSL Moving writes on the quote is what shows up on the invoice. Nothing gets added after the truck is loaded.
