No matter how you slice it, moving is a pain. Throw in the need to dramatically downsize, and an already-intimidating process becomes all the more daunting.
That’s where people like Glenn Novack come in, a certified Senior Move Manager who helps older people transition from their longtime homes to the smaller living spaces of retirement communities. “Dismantling a house that took 50 years to fill is difficult,” he said, “physically and emotionally.”
Novack and his Santa Barbara company, Moving Miss Daisy, offer a full range of services, from the packing and hauling of furniture and belongings to the consignment or auction of items his clients let go. “I always try to get them the most money I can,” he said. He’s one of a few such relocation experts in town and operates out of the first floor of the former Sears building in La Cumbre Plaza.
