Why Boca Raton families call us
Boca Raton is where many people chose to spend their retirement years, often in a condo or a gated community, while their children built lives up north or out west. So when a parent moves into assisted living, downsizes, or passes away, the family making decisions is frequently hundreds or thousands of miles away.
That's the call we hear most often: "Mom's condo in Boca needs to be cleared, my sister is in New Jersey, I'm in Illinois, and we each want a few things." We handle the pickup, sorting, packing, and shipping so each person's items reach their own home.
Condos and gated communities: plan ahead
A Boca Raton estate pickup goes smoothest when building and community details are sorted out early. Before we schedule, it helps to find out:
- Gate access. Who can put us on the gate list, and how far ahead?
- Building rules. Many condo associations set hours for large pickups and deliveries, require elevator reservations, or designate loading areas. The management office can tell you.
- Paperwork the building may ask for. Some associations ask vendors for documents before work starts. Ask the office what they require and share it with us when you request your quote.
- Keys and a local contact. If no family member is nearby, who can let us in? A neighbor, a friend, or the building manager?
If you live out of state, our guide for out-of-state families walks through what to have ready.

How it works
We start with a no-cost meeting to discuss what you want done and how we would help. Then you receive a personalized quote for securely packing and safely shipping your items. We pick up, sort, pack, ship, and arrange delivery to each home, nationwide and worldwide. Details are on our how it works page.
When a parent is moving from Boca into assisted living
If your parent is leaving a Boca Raton condo for an assisted living apartment, the move-in date often sets the schedule for everything else. Let us know that date when you call. We can help get the items going to family packed and shipped, so the condo can be cleared, listed, or returned on time. See assisted living shipping.
