Company Description About The Downsizers The Downsizers is the leading senior relocation and estate liquidation company in the Triangle, providing a full-service, all-in-one solution: downsizing support, move management, estate liquidation, online estate auctions, and professional moving services. Our work is high-touch, detail-oriented, and often conducted under tight timelines, in private homes, apartments, and senior living communities throughout the Triangle region (Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill, Cary, Apex, Wake Forest, Morrisville, Holly Springs, Hillsborough, Fuquay-Varina, and surrounding areas). This is a hybrid role for candidates who can move seamlessly between hands-on client-facing downsizing support and the physical demands of professional moving. You'll help clients sort, pack, and make decisions about their belongings — and then load, transport, and place those belongings with care. Most projects are shuttle-style, emphasizing organization and respect over speed. Why Work With The Downsizers Work with a company that values skill, experience, and professionalism over rushed, high-volume moving. Our projects are purpose-driven. Your work directly supports seniors and families during major life transitions. We offer a calmer, more respectful work environment and a team-oriented culture where experienced team members are trusted, respected, and appreciated.
