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.

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!

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….

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.

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!

Response from the owner:Judy, thank you very much for taking the time to write this review. We are so happy that Kristin and Kelly were able to provide you with such excellent service!

Patrick Ronan

Prior to the COVID pandemic, I commuted to Washington, D.C. each week for work. Since March 2019, my business travel has been limited, but I continue to maintain an apartment in D.C. I've had the pleasure to work with Kelly W., as she has managed cable/WiFi installation, furniture delivery, coordinating the delivery of packages, etc. She is friendly and professional, and flawlessly manages any task, no matter how complex. Kelly W. has taken a big source of stress out of my life and comes with my highest recommendation.

Response from the owner:Thank you very much Patrick. It is a pleasure to work with you and we look forward to continuing to help in every way we can.

Laura Mack

Libby, Shannon and Claire helped me move with very little notice. I thought I could do everything myself, but got too busy with work. They had less than two weeks notice and made it happen. Not only am I unpacked, but all of the boxes are gone and my kitchen is better organized than if I had done it myself. They are extremely professional and pleasant to work with and would definitely use them again!!! I’ve never felt in better hands.

Response from the owner:Thank you Laura – it was such a pleasure working with you. You were so well organized and pleasant, the time flew by. Happy to help any time.

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.

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.

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.

Debbie

There is much to say, so to keep it short… Shannon with Potomac Concierge is excellent! She is professional, kind, on time, gets the job DONE and offers no judgment. Thank you, Shannon! Lauren in the office is responsive, knowledgeable and kind as well! I highly recommend PC and if you want a trusted service professional, Shannon is the way to go!

Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the kind words! We’re so glad to hear you’ve had such a positive experience. Shannon is truly amazing, and we’re lucky to have her on the team! I’ll be sure to share your feedback with her—it will mean a lot. And thank you for the shout-out as well—it’s always a pleasure supporting you. We really appreciate the recommendation! – Lauren & The Potomac Concierge 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.

Terri Barger

We had a fantastic experience with Potomac Concierge’s unpacking services. Erika and Shannon were prompt, professional, friendly, and efficient. Highly, highly recommend!

Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the kind words! We’re thrilled to hear that you had such a positive experience with Erika and Shannon. They truly strive to provide excellent service, and it’s wonderful to know they made your unpacking process smooth and stress-free. We appreciate your recommendation and look forward to working with you again in the future!

Katherine Myer

Vanessa, Kelly, and Kristen were absolutely outstanding. In addition to their excellent service and skills, I felt incredibly supported by them during a difficult time. You can hire anyone to unpack boxes, but they brought such skill, thought, and care to the organizing process. By the end of the day, the rental house was feeling like a home for my family, all thanks to them. They were truly a joy to work with, and I would hire them again in a heartbeat.

Response from the owner:Thank you very much, Katherine! We are so happy we were able to make the process easier for you. Wishing you all the best.

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!

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

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.

Ellen S

Erika from Potomac Concierge Services was a fantastic help in organizing my craft room. She was delightful to work with and had great ideas about what to do and how to do it. Five stars!

Response from the owner:Hi Ellen, thank you so much for your kind review. So glad Erika was able to assist you! Please don't hesitate to reach out should you need our services again.

Rachel Teel

Highly recommend Potomac Concierge! Called to see about same day errand runs while I was in the DC area for business. Libby was so helpful and set everything up over the phone in minutes. They are super efficient with great communication. Jamee went above and beyond to make sure the clothes I needed for a meeting were not only there in time, but steamed! This team was a total lifesaver! Thank you!

Response from the owner:Thank you so much Rachel – so glad we were able to help. Best wishes to you.

Becca Billison

I recently used Potomac Concierge to help us with a move to a bigger home – they were wonderful from start to finish! Huge thank you to Shannon and Tricia for helping us get moved, unpacked, and organized so quickly and smoothly! Will definitely be using for future moving and organizing needs.

Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear that your move went smoothly and that Shannon and Tricia were able to make the process easier for you. We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and look forward to helping you again with future moves or organizing projects!

Jeff Bennett

I felt compelled to share my experience with one of your personal assistants, Sara Coles. Sara represented your client who wanted to purchase a hot tub. Sara interview our company as a possible choice for a high end Jacuzzi model. Her client, being very busy, leaned on Sara to manage the entire process from the researching through the delivery. We worked hand in hand with Sara to make sure the sales process for her client was smooth, on time and exactly everything her client had expected. I would recommend Sara to anyone looking for an assistant who is a proactive problem solver, highly organized and exceeds expectations. Thank you again Sara!

Response from the owner:Thank you for sharing your experience with Sara! We’re thrilled she exceeded expectations and ensured a seamless process. Your kind words mean so much—please don’t hesitate to reach out if we can assist in the future!

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!

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!

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!

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.
