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!

Potomac Concierge did a wonderful job preparing gifts tailored to the recipients when I enlisted their service. Keep up the good work!!!

Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re so glad to hear the gifts were a hit—it was a pleasure putting them together with your recipients in mind. We truly appreciate your support and look forward to helping you again anytime!

Richard Harrington

Shannon was terrific, working under a challenging situation—conducting a long-distance Facetime inventory, working to clarify and classify a decidedly disorganized estate, overseeing careful packing of vintage concert posters and music memorabilia, as well as personal belongings going into storage after a long-time friend's move to a nursing home. She never made assumptions but checked with me as to identifications and such, and made sure everything was clearly catalogued. And she also made sure that when the materials were moved into the storage unit, they were organized for easy access. Lots of photos as well, to make things even clearer. An amazing job all around I'm truly thankful for her partnership in this difficult time.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Potomac Concierge is the best service provider in this industry in the DMV, hands down. I was gifted a PC service following a work promotion years ago by a…

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!

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!

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.

Carol Moore

I am so very grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Libby Kinkead. She is extremely knowledgeable, professional, helpful, inspiring, and kind-hearted! When you work with Libby, you are immediately put at ease by her relaxed, down-to-earth approach. At the same time, she's highly energetic and motivating. The truth is I've read a lot about getting organized (which is a whole lot easier than actually being organized!) But after a recent class with Libby, I shifted into "get it done" mode. She gave me the boost I needed to take care of my clutter without judgment! Here are just a few of the gems that she shared that have made a huge difference for me: "Decluttering is not stuff shifting." (I didn't even realize I was doing this!) "There is a difference between something being useful and actually using it." And this one really hit home: "Clinging to the past makes it hard to move forward." Thanks to Libby's wise guidance and enthusiastic support, I am moving forward!

Response from the owner:Thank you very much Carol. It was a pleasure to work with you. It is great to hear I was able to help. Good luck to you and the class and just let me know if you need any further encouragement. Libby

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.

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.

Aisha W.

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….

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.

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.

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!

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!
