When Arline and Barry Kaufman decided to move out of their home of 40 years into a condominium, they hired CMFTO to help them “rightsize” — our preferred term for downsizing, as it focuses on the positive benefits of relocating to a space that better suits your current needs. (If you’d like, take a look at how I rightsized my own home.)
Over the course of six months, our team worked hand in hand with the Kaufmans to plan and design their new space, including everything from deciding what to keep, discard, or donate to installing their treasured art pieces. The goal was to ensure their home fit their lifestyle not only practically but aesthetically. Happily, it was the perfect partnership!

“CMFTO was more than we could have imagined and made an overwhelming project seamless,” says Arline. “We loved working with Claudia, Mara, and the team dedicated to our job and always looked forward to seeing them. They were so respectful and always made sure we were happy.”
“Their services are all-inclusive,” she adds, “with the advantage of having Claudia, an interior designer, offer helpful suggestions for updating my new condo after years of living in the same house.

“We’re in love with our new home. Every morning, we walk past something and marvel at its beauty. As Barry said, ‘Claudia and her team changed our lives and allowed us to move in with grace. We didn’t have to lift a finger. They made our new space a home.’ It was worth every penny that we paid for Claudia’s services!”
Many thanks to Arline and Barry for their kind words — we enjoyed working with you from beginning to end!
CMFTO would love to help with any home-related projects you may have.
