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!

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!
Stephanie Jaar
Vicki came to reorganize two of my closets and had everything done within 3 hours! We tossed very few items and yet by the end I had gained back a lot of space in the closets.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much Stephanie. It was a pleasure helping you get everything organized and allow you to reclaim valuable closet space!

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!

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
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.
Helena Cubas

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.

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….
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!
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!
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!
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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!
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!

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.

Upsizing gives you more space, but without a clear plan, that space can quickly become inefficient or overwhelming. A larger home requires intentional organization from the start to ensure each room serves a purpose and supports your daily routine.

Before move day, Potomac Concierge helps you plan how your new home will function. We work with you to determine where items should live, how rooms should be used, and how to avoid filling extra space with unnecessary clutter. This proactive planning allows the move to unfold with clarity instead of guesswork.

Our space planning support may include:

  • Determining room functions before boxes are unpacked
  • Creating logical layouts for kitchens, closets, storage areas, and multi-purpose rooms
  • Planning furniture placement to suit the scale of a larger home
  • Identifying storage solutions that support long-term organization
  • Preventing disorganization that often comes with additional square footage

By planning ahead, unpacking becomes faster and more efficient, and your home is organized correctly from day one. Instead of spending months adjusting and reworking spaces, you can settle in knowing your home has been set up intentionally.

Upsizing should enhance your lifestyle, not complicate it. Thoughtful space planning ensures your new home works for you now and in the future.
