Downsizing moves rarely look like a standard move — a Milwaukie couple leaving the house they raised kids in for a one-bedroom in a retirement community, an Oregon City estate where furniture needs sorting into keep, donate, and haul-away piles before anything gets loaded. These jobs take more coordination and less speed, and the crew paces accordingly.

Denise Okafor’s office works directly with adult children and care coordinators when the person moving isn’t the one making the calls day to day, scheduling around doctor’s appointments and move-in dates set by a facility rather than by us. Pricing follows the same hourly or flat-rate scale as any residential move — $109 to $179/hr depending on crew size — with donation runs and disposal quoted separately so they don’t inflate the moving number itself.

Selena Marsh’s crews are typically assigned to downsizing jobs — the pace suits the work, and families appreciate the same two faces from the first walkthrough to the last box.

What’s Included

  • Sorting support — keep, donate, and haul-away piles organized before loading
  • Coordination with family members or care coordinators on scheduling
  • Furniture disassembly for smaller final spaces
  • Optional donation drop-off, quoted separately from the move itself
  • Basic liability coverage on the household goods
  • The price-lock promise on the moving hours themselves
  • Familiar crew from walkthrough through move-in day

What You’ll Pay

Two ways to book it: $109/hr for a two-mover crew, or a flat rate by bedroom count starting at $1,850 for four-bedroom-plus homes if you’d rather lock in a total up front

Truck, blankets, and dollies are built into the rate, not billed as extras: $109 for two movers, $145 for three, $179 for four, each added mover after that at $36 an hour, or a flat $1,850 to $2,500 for four-bedroom-plus homes if you’d rather skip the clock — a $125 deposit applies either way. Basic released-value coverage rides free on every job, and whatever the walkthrough turns up gets folded into that number the same day — it’s the number on your invoice, not a starting point for add-ons.

Questions About This Service

How do you price a downsizing move differently from a regular move?
The move itself is priced the same way as any residential job — hourly, $109-$179/hr depending on crew size. Sorting help, donation runs, and disposal are quoted as separate line items so they're clear upfront, not folded into a confusing single number.
Can you coordinate with my parent's care facility or family members?
Yes — Denise Okafor's office regularly works directly with adult children and facility staff to set move-in windows that work for everyone.
Do you help get rid of furniture we're not keeping?
We can arrange donation drop-offs and haul-away as part of the job — ask during the walkthrough and it gets quoted alongside the move.
Not The Typical Willamette Valley Moving Outfit

What A Affordable Movers Does Differently Than Most Portland Movers

Oregon-Licensed, Ready For The State Line Too

We hold our own OR household-goods authority, and our US DOT and MC numbers are already on file for anything that crosses state lines — a same-day job inside Portland or a run up toward Seattle or down toward Sacramento, the paperwork’s done before the truck backs out of the yard.

Every Move Insured Before The First Box Goes On

Basic released-value coverage rides free on every job, and Russell can add full replacement value on the walkthrough if you want the higher payout ceiling locked in before move day That’s the whole conversation — we don’t tack on a coverage upsell once your things are already on the truck.

The Price Doesn’t Move Once We’ve Shaken Hands

A long carry, a flight of stairs, a piece that needs extra padding — if it turns up during the walkthrough, it’s priced in before we agree on a day. No add-on invoice two days later for something we should’ve caught the first time; the figure you sign at the door is the figure you pay.

Our Own Trucks, Our Own Crew, No Subcontractors

Eight trucks and twelve people, every one of them on our own payroll — nobody hands your move off to a rented truck and a stranger. By late fall the crew’s already doubling up moving blankets and running shrink wrap against the Willamette Valley rain, with the truck ramp tarped before a single box goes up it.

One Number. No Surprises. No Middleman.

You’re talking to the person who actually owns the trucks. Russell built this company on one rule: the number he gives you at the walkthrough is the number you sign for — no fuel surcharge, no stairs fee, no surprise tacked on after the fact.
