Karen's Thoughts
“Choose a job you love and you will never work a day in your life."
Before I founded STS, I had always managed other businesses. Never owned my own. I saw move management as an opportunity to provide a much-needed service to seniors and their families. The idea of helping with all the crazy details during this overwhelming time resonated with my personality so perfectly that I needed no time at all to ponder whether or not to do it.
Although owning a business was completely unfamiliar to me, I instinctively knew I would be good at this work and like any passionate pioneer, I dove in immediately. My management personality and my worker bee personality kicked into high gear. I think it was my strength in project management, and organization, along my excessive compulsive attention to detail and cockeyed optimistic attitude that that propelled me forward and gave me the courage to forge ahead. But, owning and growing STS…. the entrepreneurial part, was the fear factor. Getting out there, promoting myself and finding my first client, how do I do that? I knew if I could figure it out, I would have a great chance of success. What kept me going that first year was simple, my desire succeed was much greater than my fears.
We opened our doors in January, 2010. And have served hundreds of clients, helping them coordinate their moves, bringing organization to their homes and liquidate the homes of their deceased loved-ones. Although we support boomers and seniors, we are delighted to help anyone interested in using the services we offer.
I am blessed and humbled to employ a staff of professionals who are thoughtful, caring, and hard-working individuals and love what they do. It is a joy to see them as devoted to our mission as I am and I never stop counting my blessings.
Exceeding expectation is always our goal and we would love the opportunity to prove it to you!

Overwhelmed to overjoyed - one client at a time.
S.A. 4/30/2019Many thanks to you for all your advice and help with our move. You cut out the worry about being able to accomplish this sweet, yet sad move for us. Your staff are the best anyone could ever have – understanding, cheerful, detailed and great packers! Judy is fabulous in every way. Going above and beyond with much needed patience. Thank you all for everything.
G2/8/2019I can’t thank you and your staff enough for all your assistance with my dad’s move. Your thoroughness, combined with your attention to detail made his move go more smoothly than I imagined possible. The care and compassion with which you handled both his condition and his material things was impressive. Your experience working with seniors was evident! My dad seems happy and is integrating into his new lifestyle. He even played golf today! Thanks again!
D.M.2/14/2019Meeting Karen was the best thing that could have happened to me. Moving my mother was very stressful. I had to dispose of 75% of her belongings. Karen designed a floor plan of the furniture that would fit in the smaller apartment. She removed everything we couldn’t sell. Her staff was excellent…. really excellent. On move day, my mother and I came back to the new apartment and everything was in place. I had NOTHING to do. It was the best! So grateful to Karen and her team.
J.C.1/12/2019I would recommend your company to everyone. Very professional! You helped in every way imaginable and I can’t thank you enough!
M.C.1/11/2019Judy, Ann, and Paty are outstanding and you are lucky to have them as employees. They relieved my stress and anxiety and were always pleasant and eager to please.

My experience with Judy and all was just outstanding. As a matter of fact, I was exhausted just sitting around while I watched the team bustling around getting the job done. It’s a tribute to you for what you have instilled in them to do the work right – and they certainly did. Thank you.
