"Without a doubt SBSOS LLC is the best thing that has happened to the senior community in Santa Barbara. Our experience with them was sublime as I had to do so little --- they took all the work and worry away. Kelsey and Sylvie were so efficient along with being kind and thoughtful. I can't give them enough praise, they are truly a gem. 10 Stars and 2 very big thumbs up."

Kelsey, Silvia and the SOS team manage to turn the odious and nearly impossible task of moving and downsizing into an experience that is almost fun! How do they create this miracle? By their exceptional skills, skills of organizing coupled with great empathy for their clients, real problem solving skills and, surprise, the eye and style of a very good decorator. On moving day you will come home to your new beautiful organized place, sink into your favorite arm chair and bless SOS!

We faced a sudden move leaving a 4,000 sq. foot home for one 1/2 the size. Kelsey and her team packed us up while helping us downsize, arranged and supervised the mover and unpacked us in our new home. At the end of moving day there was not one box left in our new home. I cannot imagine going through this difficult process without helping hands and the SB SOS team's hands were a godsend.

Wow! To say that you guys exceeded expectations would be an understatement. You guys were FABULOUS. You were always there when we needed you. You made the transition from big house to smaller apartment easy for us. At a time when we had to make quick decisions you were always there with your expertise and guidance. You also made our days happier with your smiles and good humor. We give you a 5 plus plus rating. We are also more than happy to "Highly recommend your team to anyone" We are also most grateful for all the little extras you provided.

Kelsey and Deb are amazing ladies. The scope of our move was very large with many moving parts. They have all the avenues at their fingertips to accomplish each phase of the move. Packing, sorting, selling what needs to be sold, emotional holding of our hands, and come moving day our new home was beautifully staged --- pictures hung, the bed luxuriously made, kitchen all ready to go, TV operating, everything in place. You will be in good hands with these girls. Deb and Kelsey actually make "moving" simple and doable.

"We interviewed three senior relocation services, decided on SB SOS, and it was the best decision we could have made. They shepherded us through two moves, first from our home to the guest suites [at Casa Dorinda] and finally to our apartment, and we could not have done any of it without them. They did everything they said they would do, and more. We were impressed with their ability to handle whatever we needed or direct us to other resources, which they coordinated. They were generous with their time, even helping us to purchase furniture to fit in our new apartment. They ran an estate sale, took discarded items to various charity thrift stores, took trash and toxic items to appropriate disposal sites, moved us to the guest rooms along with computers and printers that we needed to have with us while there, cleaned and readied our home to turn over to buyers, monitored the furniture and boxes coming out of storage, and moved us into our new apartment, unpacking, putting everything away into cupboards, drawers, and closets, getting art pieces and pictures hung on the walls, and even getting our bed made up so we could sleep there the day after we moved in. They also go that complicated headboard secured to the bedroom wall (after we learned that CD Maintenance was not equipped to do it) and hung the Lucite case that houses our shell collection. If we needed anything specific, we merely had to ask and they made it happen."

SB SOS relocated Ira and Lotte from their 3 bedroom Santa Barbara home to Maravilla senior living community. We helped downsize, prepare the home for a very successful sale by Deborah Samuel (BHHS, CalDRE #02119798), then moved and set-up Ira & Lotte in their new unit. They were able to seamlessly "step-in" to their new life.
In this extended video, with behind-the-scenes footage, Pat shares her experience of hiring SB SOS to help her and her husband ease their downsize from a sizable Montecito home to a spacious new unit at Casa Dorinda.
The best part of what we do for our clients is setting them up in their new homes... within a day. Their reactions are so heartwarming to us.
