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.
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!
Michelle Belliveau
It was a pleasure to work with Amelia and her team at Potomac Concierge! They did a beautiful job organizing various bookcases as well as three large walk-in closets at the Ritz Residence. I would definitely recommend them to any of my clients!
Response from the owner:Hi Michelle, thank you so much for your review! We are so happy our team was able to assist you. Please don't hesitate to reach out should you ever need our services again.
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.

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.

Dori Phaff
Downsized from house to condo and Potomac Concierge kept me sane. Shannon, Michelle and Dania were so unbelievably brilliant – prevented me from being overwhelmed and not only great fun to hang out with— they got my kitchen organized with such thought and efficiency. Highly recommend!!!!!!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the kind review! We're so glad Shannon, Michelle, and Dania were able to help make the downsizing process a little less overwhelming and get your kitchen set up in a way that works for you. I'll be sure to pass along your sweet words to the team. Thank you for trusting Potomac Concierge, and enjoy your new home!
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
Jeanne Theis (JTinNoVA)
I was helping a friend move, and Potomac Concierge Services was there to unpack. Vanessa, Kelly, and Kristen were fantastic. They are organized, diligent, and incredibly hard-working. And on top of that, they are fun and kind and just a pleasure to be around. I can't imagine this move without their help. Highly recommend.
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.
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!

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!
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.
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!
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!
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!!

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…
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!
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!
Tamara Galinsky
I can hardly put into words how wonderful my experience has been with Potomac Concierge! Jamee and Kristin organized the heck out of my kitchen and office and were an absolute joy to work with–lots of laughter and even a little dancing, but they were also incredibly efficient and innovative, full of great ideas and ways to make our life run more smoothly. I will definitely have them back to tackle another area of the house!
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!

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.
