Marissa Rensen

This is a fantastic service. Potomac Concierge has helped us with everything from setting up utilities, paying bills, ordering groceries, arranging doctor appointments, and managing my inbox. They are courteous and trustworthy. I highly recommend them to anyone who needs some extra help with managing day-to-day activities.

Response from the owner:Hi Marissa, Thank you for taking a moment to write such a nice review of our Personal Assistant Services. We are so glad to help you tackle your day-to-day tasks in order to free up your time, and take some of the stress out of your life.

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.

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.

Brenda Vasquez

Thank you ladies for the AWESOME customer service! Potomac Concierge was so easy to work with and just did a fabulous job helping me out! Thank you Ladies!

Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind review Brenda! Glad we could help!

Hilary Anthony

I can’t say enough good things about Potomac Concierge! I reached out to Aida about help with a big move (two houses into one) and she replied immediately. Her team took care of coordinating with the movers, handling no parking signs and ALLLLL the packing and unpacking. (They even did thoughtful things, such as reach out to neighbors.) I can’t tell you what a relief it is to be moved in and have every box out of the house within 24 hours – and to have everything thoughtfully organized and put away. To top it off, everyone was incredibly nice and friendly, even towards our nosy pets 🙂 Hire Potomac Concierge!

Lisa Ann

I am so thankfully I was able to work with Jamee for 9 months last year as I was preparing to relocate to Massachusetts. I have a lot of stuff and it was a disorganized mess. Jamee was great to work with. She was very patient and non judgemental. We got so much done each visit! She helped me get rid of trash and donations. She hooked me up with green Drop in Friendship Heights and inspired me to do some donations even on days I was not working with her. I don't know how I could have handle getting ready for the move without her. Now that I am in Massachusetts, I wish I could find someone even 10% as great to help me get settled in. I highly recommend Potomac Concierge and especially Jamee to anyone.

Response from the owner:Hi Lisa, Thank you so much for your kind review. So glad Jamee was able to assist you with prior to relocating!

Janet and Colleen were the bombs! I would not have survived the four days of orchestrating the move with the crises and emergencies that evolved. Janet and Colleen remained calm, focused and most helpful through it all! I will certainly use them again; hopefully without the crises! 🎂👏🏽👏🏽👍🏽👍🏽

Response from the owner:This was a challenging move, but we like challenges! Janet and Coleen enjoyed working with you and so happy they could help.

Alice Lash

Aida and her staff were incredibly professional and helpful. Our son had left the DC area during Covid and then while he was away needed to move out of his apartment. They handled everything from packing, cleaning, moving and arranging storage. It could not have been easier. We look forward to having their help again when we need it. Thank you!!!

Dion

My wife and I called Potomac Concierge at the last minute after moving into our new home. Aida was professional, courteous and accommodating. She set an appointment for the next day. Upon arriving Aida and her team were ready to work. They were beyond helpful and very organized. They helped my wife and I unpack ALL of our boxes, setup and organize our kitchen master bedroom and our closets. It was unbelievable how fast and efficient they work. If you're serious about getting organized or need help unpacking they should be your first call. Thanks again Aida and Potomac Concierge. You guys are greatly appreciated.

Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the kind words. We loved working with you and your family. We expect pictures of both finished products 🙂

Helena Cubas

Made everything run so smoothly for my wedding, really appreciated having her there that day!

Response from the owner:We were so happy to be able to help you on your special day! Wishing you all the best!

Gregory riegle

Aida and her team are invaluable. Absolutely seamless move – never touched at box. Great customer service all the way around. Highly recommend!

Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your review Greg. We really enjoyed helping you with your move, and hope you enjoy your new home.

John Freudiger

Potomac Concierge has assisted me with many clients over the years. As a moving consultant, I appreciate the way they always take care of my clients with an exceptional level of care and patience. Always willing to adapt to the particular needs of my clients and help take away the stress associated with moving.

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.

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

Kim Partoll

I am so happy that I found Potomac Concierge! About 1/2 of the way through a whole-house renovation, I hit a wall. We had so much "stuff" to get out of the house, decide what to keep, and how to dispose of what we weren't keeping. It was overwhelming and I was stuck! While researching the many home auction and estate sale options, I stumbled onto the Potomac Concierge website and immediately liked their approach to beig an assistant in all things remodel management and home organization. I booked a free consultation call with Libby Kinkead and she was not only emphathetic, but so incredibly helpful in sharing insights about charitable donations and the stuff we wanted to get rid of. Libby set me up with Audrey Mulholland and it was like having a white knight ride in! Audrey has a wonderful demeanor, is professional but warm, understands how to gently prod to keep me on track (as in "is that piece really keeping to the feel you are going for?"), jumps in to do anything, keeps moving things along when a subcontractor pulls me away, and always helps balance the stress by encouraging me to see the progress, not the mess. Audrey's expertise in furniture and clothing consignment and donation enabled me to sell so much rather than just give it away. Forget the "Kondo Method" — the process with Audrey is as effective and, even better, it's fun because she becomes a friend. I'm still working with Audrey until we can put away the last pot and hang the last shirt. I can't recommend Audrey and Potomac Concierge strongly enough and am grateful that they do what they do!

Response from the owner:Dear Kim. Thank you so much for your support and kind words – we love what we do and you make it so worthwhile. Libby

Samuel Zipp

Potomac Concierge recently helped us move my father out of his home of more than a half-century and across the country to a senior living community. This was, as you can imagine, a complex and stressful undertaking, and they handled it all with patience, experitse, and thoughtfulness. Libby was very effective in getting the project off the ground–setting expectations, understanding our needs, getting to grips with the particular situation. This took a bit, but once we were going she found the right solutions to our situation. In particular she assigned Dana to our case. I can't recommend her highly enough. We literally could not have done it without her. She went out of her way to make this easier for my father, and for the rest of us, who live relatively far away. She made a difficult process seem almost simple–a model of organization, clarity, and empathy for us in a hard transition for all of us. Thanks to Dana, to Libby, and to Lauren for making this work. We appreciate it!

Response from the owner:Thank you so much for taking the time to share this thoughtful review. We know how emotional and overwhelming a transition like this can be, especially after so many years in one home, and it means a lot to hear that our team was able to make the process easier for your father and for your family. It was truly our pleasure to help you through this transition, and we’re grateful for your trust in us. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you or your father need anything moving forward.

K P

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.

Ann H

Potomac Concierge was a lifesaver! I was overwhelmed with moving and having to declutter the entire house. Potomac Concierge came in and made my life so much easier. The decluttering was painless and the move went smoothly. I would strongly recommend Potomac Concierge.

Response from the owner:Thank you so much Ann – it was a true pleasure helping you.

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!

Connie Stevens

Call Potomac Concierge Services and feel your troubles lift from your shoulders. I am very happy with the services I received: Anne was absolutely terrific! So helpful, energetic and knowledgeable. A real boon for me settling my parents' estate out of state. Decluttering house, apartment search, packing, moving, etc – Anne did it all – competently and cheerfully. I highly recommend Potomac Concierge.

Response from the owner:Thanks for the review, Connie! We are happy to help with any organization or decluttering jobs in the future!

Patty Daniels

We are so grateful to have Potomac Concierge team up with us when getting a property ready to sell. Their organizational expertise in decluttering, packing, and selling items of value help us get the maximum dollars for our sellers in the most efficient time possible! Patty Daniels/ Lori Leasure Team Washington Fine Properties

Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your trust in Potomac Concierge. Your professionalism and expertise make our job easy!

Jill Zuckman

Simply the best. We couldn’t be happier with all the support we got from Potomac Concierge. When you need help, these are the pros.

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.

Amy Weiss

Potomac Concierge is the best money we have spent. Aida, Libby and the team were incredibly professional, organized and no ask was too much for them to handle with grace and speed. We hired them to assist with our move out of our home and into a new home. We could not have done it without them. They know how to get things done, they hire all of the right people. We spent the first night in our new home with our bedroom, kitchen, and closets completely unpacked and organized. They are simply the best.

Rachel Bernhard

Vicki with Potomac Concierge was amazing! She did an incredible job helping to tweak and organize our closet, and it looks so neat and beautiful. We have worked with Potomac Concierge in the past when we moved and needed help with unpacking and organizing and are always pleased with the team.

Response from the owner:Hi Rachel. We are so glad that Vicki could help give your closet a makeover! Thank you for once again trusting Potomac Concierge to help keep you organized.
