About Melanie Moves

If you are reading this, you have come to my site for a reason and I want to thank you for taking a moment of your valuable time to get to know me. I am a mother, a daughter, a friend and an Army wife.​

In the military life you move every three years. I got very good at moving with four kids, two dogs and two horses in tow. 

I do what I do for many reasons. First, because there is a need, second because I love what I do. Estate sales and liquidations occur because change has happened in your life one way or another. Usually it's because of the downsizing of a home or a loss of a loved one and you are the one tasked with the challenge of liquidating the estate. That's what I do. I take the burden off your shoulders. 

​I help make sense of a stressful and often emotional situation. By using my four-step method. Together we can create a plan to obtain your goal. 

I was raised with deep family values and taught to help another in need and shoulder burdens of others when possible. I am empathetic to what you are going through as I have gone through it myself. 

I am Melanie, let's get moving!
