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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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!

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!

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.

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!

As a Moving Consultant, I have done more than a few moves in concert with Potomac Concierge. I typically work with Libby and Aida and they never…

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!

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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

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!

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!

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

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.

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.

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…

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.

Who Upsizing Is For (And When It Makes Sense)

Upsizing your home is often about more than square footage. It is about improving how you live, work, and function day to day. In the Washington, DC Metro Area, many of our clients choose to upsize when their current home no longer supports their lifestyle, schedule, or long-term plans.

Upsizing may be the right choice if you are:

• Growing your family and need additional bedrooms, storage, or functional living areas
• A busy professional or executive upgrading to a home that better reflects your current stage of life
• Moving from an apartment or townhome into a single-family residence
• Purchasing a long-term or “forever” home and want it set up correctly from the start
• Seeking more privacy, dedicated work-from-home space, or room to host family and guests

While a larger home offers new opportunities, it also introduces more decisions, more logistics, and more complexity. Without proper planning, upsizing can quickly feel overwhelming instead of exciting.

That is where Potomac Concierge comes in. We help our clients approach upsizing with structure, clarity, and organization, ensuring that the transition into a larger home is thoughtful, efficient, and stress-reduced from the very beginning.

Upsizing should feel like a step forward, not a burden. Our role is to help you make the most of your new space while protecting your time and peace of mind.
