I worked with Potomac Concierge in November 2019. I was moving with my toddler son from a 3-bedroom apartment in Bethesda to a house in Friendship heights….
Nancy Sachs
I have to tell you how wonderful and incredible both Rachel and Dana were in getting our attic, basement, and tool shed in ship-shape order!  They're both amazingly efficient, hard-working, energetic, and very nice!  Both my husband and I appreciated their taking charge of the mess at our house.  It will really help make our lives so much cleaner and easier. Lauren was also great in helping set everything up and was very responsive with ideas and help. I can highly recommend Potomac Concierge!
Judy Bishop
I had quite a lot of travel during and after Thanksgiving, and needed some support with holiday decor. Kelly and Kristin truly made this Christmas the best ever. This duo is remarkable. They unloaded and opened all of the decorations (after marking them according to rooms last year) and did an amazing job helping me make everything beautiful. They wrapped presents like they should appear in the next Nutcracker. Positive, productive, professional and punctual; I love everything they created and every effort they made. When they come to my home, I know it will be lovelier when they go. I could not be more appreciate and grateful for this team!

Amy Will
We hired Potomac Concierge to help pack several rooms before a major home renovation. Amelia, Shannon and the representative from the moving company were all incredible. They arrived right on time and were friendly, organized, thorough and accommodating. They finished in record time and we would absolutely use them again.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your kind review. So glad our team was able to assist you! Best of luck on your renovation!
Nick Freshman
Absolutely incredible group of people. Help my father transition to a new facility, and made the process extremely easy and anxiety free.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your kind words. We're so glad we could help make your father's transition easier and less stressful. Wishing him all the best!

Shannon and Tricia were wonderful and helped our parents get settled in their new place. Thank you!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much! We’re so glad Shannon and Tricia could make the transition smooth and stress-free.
Diann Heine
Libby was the Manager in getting a house ready for the market. It had been lived in for about 50 years and needed a variety of services. She had an amazing team of workmen and was able to empty the home, fix several items and make it look refreshed. All with quick response and professionalism. Very impressive work.
Response from the owner:Thank you Diann – it was a pleasure to work with you. It is always nice to be on the same page and work with someone so professional and pleasant.
Glen Kruglak
Lauren Labrada inspects our home while we are in Florida. She is timely, professional, courteous, and most helpful. A real asset.
Response from the owner:Thank you very much for your review. It is our pleasure to assist you and we look forward to helping for more years to come.
Sarah Skofield
I hired Potomac Concierge to help my parents after they downsized from their home in NH and settled in a retirement community in MD. Helen did a wonderful job communicating what she accomplished after every meeting with my parents…from helping with online accounts, auto-pay set-up and scheduling, decluttering email & cancelling old accounts, to creating a shared family calendar and prioritizing tasks for my parents to complete, the dependable schedule we set up with Helen was invaluable in reassuring my brother and I, as we both live in other states. My parents loved working with her too 🙂 So happy I found this personal assistant service in the DC metro area!!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your kind words! We're so glad Helen was able to support your parents and bring peace of mind to you and your brother. It means a lot to know the schedule and support made a difference!
Nicole Bowden
Absolutely amazing service! Thank you so much Helen for all of your help!!
Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that you had an amazing experience with our service. I'll make sure to pass your kind words along to Helen. If you need any further assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out. We look forward to serving you again in the future!
Alice Hendricks
This is the second time I have used Potomac Concierge. Everything they do is superb. The most important and helpful thing is not what they do but HOW they do it, they project manage everything so well it brings you complete peace of mind. The actual organizer and process is also terrific and high quality. excellent communication, Covid safe, and helpful in ways you didn’t even know you needed help. I highly recommend them!
Response from the owner:Thank you very much Alice. Once again, it was a pleasure to help you. Best Wishes, the PC Team
Taylohr Richardson
Coleen and Amelia were so delightful for to work with. They were on time, professional and very supportive on my helping me make sense of my move. They took their time to ensure my needs were met and I am definitely satisfied with their working. I highly recommend this company for anyone needing help with getting settled in to a new place or even organizing their current space!!!
Response from the owner:Hi Taylohr. Thank you for your review. It was a real pleasure working with you, and helping to get you unpacked, organized and all settled into your new home.
Stephanie Jaar
Vicki came to reorganize two of my closets and had everything done within 3 hours! We tossed very few items and yet by the end I had gained back a lot of space in the closets.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much Stephanie. It was a pleasure helping you get everything organized and allow you to reclaim valuable closet space!
Sabeth Siddique
Shannon, Rachel, Michelle all did an excellent job. Very thoughtful, easy to work with, and exceeded expectations with organizing, decluttering,and making our overall move back to our home a pleasant experience.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your kind words! We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. I'll be sure to pass your compliments along to Shannon, Rachel, and Michelle—they will be thrilled to hear how much you appreciated their hard work. It means a great deal to us that they were able to make your move back home a smooth and pleasant experience. Thank you again for trusting Potomac Concierge. It was a pleasure working with you, and we look forward to helping you again whenever you need us!
Bee Barnett
Well, it finally happened: A big move forced me to deal with my storage unit! I had a mix of *stuff* ranging from old furniture to art supplies–my own items and my late mother's–and it was nearly impossible to make a dent on my own. Between Jennifer's truly outstanding organizational skills and the help of a small crew to move heavy items (and remove the things I needed to part with), my 10×22' nightmare became a manageable space in three hours! I would go so far as to say that it was a genuinely fun morning–which is especially impressive given the sheer emotional weight of going through a parent's personal effects. I cannot possibly say enough good things about Jennifer's mix of practical skills and personal sensitivity. I recommend Potomac Concierge without hesitation–personable and professional!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for sharing this! We’re so glad Jennifer and the team could make the process easier for you. It means a lot that you trusted Potomac Concierge, and we’re here whenever you need us!
Allyson Alvaré Kranz
We recently enlisted Potomac Concierge to help with unpacking and organizing after our move, and the experience was outstanding. Their team — Amelia, Joan, Kristin, and Shannon — was prompt, professional, and genuinely delightful, all while unpacking more than 140 boxes in just two days and even finishing ahead of schedule. Lauren’s guidance throughout the scheduling process was equally excellent. I can’t recommend the Potomac Concierge team highly enough, and they will absolutely be my first call for the next project.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for taking the time to share this wonderful review. We’re thrilled to hear that your experience with Potomac Concierge was such a positive one. Amelia, Joan, Kristin, and Shannon will be especially grateful for the recognition. It was a pleasure assisting you through the scheduling process and supporting your move. Unpacking and organizing after a move can feel overwhelming, and we’re so glad we could help make the transition smoother. We truly appreciate the recommendation and would be honored to assist you again on your next project!
Lisa Stark
I had a last minute need for someone to pack up and clear part of the items in my basement and Potomac Concierge was amazing. I called on a Friday. They had someone here on a Monday morning and it was done perfectly! I'd use them again in a heartbeat!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your kind review, Lisa! So glad we were able to assist you. Please reach out to us should you need our services again.
Marjorie Greenberg
I literally could not have stayed in my home during the pandemic nor gotten my house ready to sell without Kelly’s outstanding assistance. Kelly had a solution to every problem and always was calm while addressing any challenge. I think of Kelly as my guardian angel. Kristin also was essential during the process of packing up my house belongings and moving into my new apartment. As an example of the special care they gave to my china cup collection, Kelly took photographs of the secretary and display case in which the cups were displayed and then she and Kristin unpacked the cups and put them back in the identical order. I am eternally grateful to both of them.
Response from the owner:Hi Majorie, thank you for your wonderful review! We are so happy Kelly and Kristin were able to assist you with your move and in getting your house ready to sell. We welcome the opportunity to work with you again should you ever need our services in the future.
TheBisho84
This is an excellent business! They provide an outstanding service! Aida is very professional; she provided me with a very accurate estimate of the work to be done at my place at the outset. She is also very pleasant and responds swiftly to any inquiries. Coleen and Amelia helped me unpack and sort my stuff after I moved to a new apartment. Both ladies are classy, fast and efficient and they also have a great taste! They took the stress out of moving out for me! Bishr A.
Response from the owner:Thank you Bishr for your very kind words.. We were so happy to take the stress out of your move, and get you unpacked and settled into your new home. Best wishes.
Michael Barth
Dear Aida– Now that Marilyn and I have had a chance to settle in, I wanted to express our enormous satisfaction with the work of Potomac Concierge. Simply put, Kristin, Kelley, and Jamee made the move from our 50 year, four-story home to an apartment possible. Kristin and her team had a quick solution to any problem. You, your partner, and another showed up when deadlines were getting tight. In addition to great competence, all of the Potomac Concierge people had a smile and were delightful to be with. The downsizing/move process was not fun; Potomac Concierge made it happen and helped us to survive. I would recommend Potomac Concierge unreservedly. Thanks and Best Michael Barth
Response from the owner:Dear Micheal, thank you for providing such a great review! It was a pleasure to assist both you and Marilyn. We were so happy to help get you settled into your new home. Wishing you all the best.
Brittany Griffin
I cannot recommend Potomac Concierge highly enough. We hired them to help organize our kitchen in our new home and Rachel and Michelle were an absolute dream team. They worked efficiently and asked really smart questions to help me figure out where things should go in our unusually shaped space. By the time they left, we were easily 80% done with our kitchen and I'm already scoping out new projects to hire them for again. If you're thinking about working with Potomac Concierge — don't hesitate!!
James Blume
For our move we engaged Potomac Concierge to help us stage our home for potential buyers and packing our possessions. Since we are moving from a four-bedroom house to a two-bedroom apartment, we had to downsize which meant de-cluttering some of our possessions. Someone said that the top three stressful events in a life are death, divorce, and moving. The Potomac Concierge team did a fabulous job at every stage of our move. They were competent, professional, efficient, and knowledgeable and, in addition reduced our stress to a very manageable level. They quickly identified those possessions that were not to be shown to potential buyers and those that we should consider discarding but showed sensitivity to our emotional attachments to some items. When it came time to packing, the team quickly and thoroughly did it, including labeling the boxes so we could find where our possessions were after we arrived at our new residence. We do not know how we could have so successfully moved without the support of Potomac Concierge and highly recommend using them for any relocation
Response from the owner:Thank you very much Sara. We are happy we were able to make the process easier for you. Our best wishes to you in your new home.
Bridget Bowers Maybud
Using Potomac Concierge Services has been a game changer and amazing for our family! They helped us prepare for a move to temporary locations in preparation for a house renovation. Robin and team were incredible/terrific/great! They helped us declutter our house before we moved, helped coordinate the move, helped pack and unpack into our new temporary spaces! They thought of all the details that I would have forgotten. And, they also supported during the stressful moments. This is the first week that I have not seen any of them in the past two and a half months and I miss them. They are all so pleasant, helpful and fun. We are going to use them when we move back into our house and will continue with them on an ongoing basis so we can stay organized. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Potomac Concierge!
Response from the owner:Dear Bridget, we are so glad we were able to help you and the family get moved and settled and look forward to getting you back into the new and improved house! You were a pleasure to work with – thank you.
Ann Murphy – NOAA Federal
We highly recommend Potomac Concierge – a top notch business!!! Last year, we sold our home in McLean, VA and prepared to rent locally. A friend recommended Potomac Concierge and we worked with Aida Middel during a time of unknowns– where we would move, what we would do… Aida was helpful in suggesting what we needed at the rental… what could be stored, and what we should not keep. She was professional, cooperative, and considerate as we sifted through belongings making decisions. We appreciated suggestions vs. being asked what to do. She helped with packing and even with marking furniture placement when we found a rental. She also recommended a professional moving company, JK moving. A year later, we prepared to move out of state. We call on Aida and PC and we were grateful and fortunate to work with Jamee Whittan. Jamee is fantastic! We immediately connected on what needed to be done and, again, Jamee did not wait for guidance – she assessed the situation after a walk-through and formed a “game plan!” This efficiency reduced the stress enough so that I felt at ease to focus on work and other tasks. Jamee was very friendly and patient and listened as we sorted through the priorities and next steps. She remembered details of our schedule (including packing for my husband who was taking boxes to FL in advance of JK moving). Jamee was very helpful in setting the schedule for future visits. Once she had a schedule conflict and she immediately arranged for Kristen O’Brien to help. I appreciated that since I had blocked the time in advance. Kristen was equally friendly, efficient, professional, and patient!!!. I called for help during a very busy time but PC went “the extra mile!” It was a pleasure to work with Jamee and Kristen and I trusted them both. We simply didn't have enough time to coordinate all aspects of the move AND continue to work – and we were grateful that Aida, Jamee, and Kristen stepped in to help. We appreciated their patience and kind approach to an otherwise stressful situation. We still felt stress related to the move, but not with Jamee and Kristen! I assumed I would help with packing (!) but they had confidence in their approach and took initiative to get things done, leaving me to work on other tasks. They communicated well during the process to ensure we were always on the same page. They were both so very easy to get along with and they managed to get so much done each day while creating a calm environment. Truly 5-star service!
Susan Sandler
What a great experience! I had Kelly and Marley help me with unpacking and putting things away in my new apartment right after a move in, including setting up the kitchen and master bedroom, among other tasks. They were terrific–experts at what they do, and very kind and patient with me during a very challenging moving week. I learned some great things from them about how to make my new space work best for me. I would not hesitate to work with Potomac Concierge on other home space planning projects and I recommend them highly!
Response from the owner:Thank you Susan. We are pleased we could take some of the stress out of your move, and get you all settled into your new home. We wish you all the best, and are always available should you need further help organizing or maximizing other space and storage.

Frequently Asked Questions

As a general rule, you’ll want to reach out to a moving specialist about one or two weeks before your move.

We don’t recommend planning your move much earlier as circumstances could change, meaning you would have to reschedule with certain vendors. If you try to schedule your move later, you’ll risk rushing and adding excess pressure to what’s already an inherently stressful process.

Managing your move means coordinating and overseeing vendors as well as downsizing and organizing your current space to make unpacking and settling in as easy as possible.

Our move managers will work with you to inventory all your personal items, identify what needs to go, what needs to stay, what needs to be securely discarded, and label everything for easy and safe transportation to your new home.

Take the time to sit down and assess everything that is tied to your current residence before your move. As a starting point, you’ll want to transfer utilities like power, internet, and cable.

You should have your mail forwarded to your new address and prioritize updating your address for your bank, insurance, and employer. If you have other services like a newspaper delivery or the like, you should also update those.

When unpacking, it makes the most sense to retrieve and pack away items in order of importance to the day-to-day, barring situations where you need particular items earlier, such as a rug you intend to place under a piece of furniture.

Our move managers can label your boxes and help movers place them in the appropriate rooms, so you can find what you need or want quickly.
