About Top Tier Transitions

At Top Tier Transitions, we specialize in senior relocation, downsizing, and estate management services. From sorting cherished belongings to creating a comfortable new home, our team delivers thoughtful, trustworthy, and high-value solutions with care and discretion.

Whether managing an estate sale, decluttering a lifetime of possessions, or preparing a home for sale, we handle every detail with respect—because transitions aren’t just about moving. They’re about honoring memories, preserving dignity, and supporting families during meaningful life changes.

Make a Meaningful Impact

At Top Tier Transitions, we believe life experience is an asset.

We are seeking compassionate, dependable individuals to join our team as Senior Downsizing & Move Specialists . This role is ideal for professionals who bring patience, emotional intelligence, and strong organizational skills—and who find purpose in helping others during important life transitions.

  • Support estate sale preparation and item organization

  • Help prepare select items for approved resale channels when appropriate

Logistics & Physical Responsibilities

  • Lift and move items (up to 25 lbs; larger items handled by professional movers)

  • Clean and prepare homes for sale or new occupants

  • Travel locally to client homes throughout the Chicagoland area

Live with Integrity – Clients entrust us with their most personal spaces and possessions. We operate with discretion, reliability, and transparency.

Simplify the Process – We manage every element of the transition so families can focus on what matters most.
