Senior Services
Flip The Switch - Shine a Light on Seniors
At Chic Flips Estate Sales & More, we specialize in helping seniors and their families with every stage of transition — from downsizing and decluttering to full estate liquidation and real estate support.
We know that moving or letting go of a lifetime of belongings can be overwhelming. That’s why we handle everything with compassion, respect, and efficiency. Our senior services include:
-
Downsizing Assistance – Guidance on what to keep, donate, or sell.
-
Estate Sales & Liquidation – Full-service management of estate sales with no stress on the family.
-
Legacy Planning Support – Helping families preserve memories while creating space for the next chapter.
-
Safety Check-Ups – We provide free safety checks for simple tasks (no tall ladders or heavy equipment), and can refer trusted professionals for anything more involved.
-
Workshops & Community Programs – Educational sessions on downsizing, legacy planning, and protecting what matters most.
Our mission is simple: to give seniors peace of mind,
families relief, and legacies the respect they deserve.
