Joy Murphy – Owner
Joy is a former teacher, manager, designer, event planner and stay at home mom, with a bachelors degree in Human Services and Education from Northeastern University and a Masters in Education from Cambridge College. ย Her first introduction to Move Management was when her mother-in-law decided to downsize from her two level home into community living. ย Decisions to downsize and to change direction from your original plan can be difficult.ย Joy recognized that even deciding to make a move could be just as stressful as the move itself.ย It was her mission to do everything she could make this transition as stress free as possible.ย ย
ย Listening to someoneโs needs and concerns is everything.ย Taking a lifetime worth of memories and treasures and deciding what can make the journey with you is overwhelming at best.ย Joy had the natural leadership skills to be able take this transition head on and guide her family through it.ย ย What she saw was that not everyone is able to do this on their own or has family members that are able to complete all these tasks, whether it be age, health obstacles, or distance.ย Sometimes you just need a little help.
With a degree in Human Services and Education from Northeastern University, Joy has always been drawn to helping others through various stages. ย She is a member of NASMM, the National Association of Senior and Specialty Move Managers. ย Joy would be honored to help write your next chapter. ย Life can be stressful, but your move does not have to be. ย ย
We Will Come to You at Your Convenience.

Leave home for lunch and stroll into new home with all the memories of the former home. Super grateful!Posted on L StikeleatherTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The Smooth Transitions team is great! The team was able to clean out my aging parentโs house seamlessly. It took the stress off of me as I cared for my parents. Also they layout options for sorting and cleaning that made the decision making process easier.Posted on D WallaceTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Working with seniors at this vulnerable time in their lives can be difficult to maneuver,Joy makes the process seamless. Joy and her team are honest and more importantly caring! I look forward to working with them again in the future.Posted on L B.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Joy and her team were a lifesaver in transitioning my in-laws into their new home at an Assistant Living facility. The whole process was seamless and stress-free, during what can be a very difficult and emotional time. We cannot thank her enough for her kindness, empathy and professionalism throughout.Posted on L JohnsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Early last spring, I hired Joy to help with my mom's home so that we could sell it. My mom had lived in her house for more than 40 years and accumulated a lot. Dealing with it all was overwhelming and I knew I needed a great deal of help. The year before, my mom had a stroke and became disabled, so that she now uses a walker. Being in a house with stairs was becoming increasingly difficult for her and me. Living somewhere on one level and having her live closer to me would make things better all around. Joy is a friendly and fun person, who lives up to her name and has answered her calling. My mom was at the house while Joy and her team were there and they all got along so well. The parent child dynamic is unique and can be difficult at times. Where I could not get my mom to budge about certain things, Joy was able to approach her from a different perspective and keep the process moving. She and her team were over the house multiple times. Sorting items, taking them for donation and coordinating haulers to take things away. This was a marathon, not a sprint. By late summer, we were able to put the house on the market and continue removing items. The sale took a long time and did not close until the week before Christmas. Joy and her team rallied around us, so that we could get my mom moved out and into her new apartment just days before Christmas. It felt like a Christmas miracle! They found a moving company, packed everything, then unpacked it all at the new place. Putting up curtains, pictures, etc., so that my mom could move into a ready to live in space. A smooth transition, if you will. Joy did everything possible to accommodate me and my mom, so that we could work with her on a long-term basis and we are forever grateful. The sale of the house and the move could not have happened without Joy and her team.Posted on C MellenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I hired Joy & her team at Smooth Transitions on behalf of an elderly widower moving into assisted living. They were nothing short of outstanding! They first worked with him to help figure out what he wanted to take with him. On move day, they brought the furniture, clothing and other items he wanted to keep, and totally set up his new room; hanging pictures on the wall, setting up his dressers and closet, making his bed, etc. He was so impressed when he walked into his new room! Back at the house, they tossed everything that was not salvageable and donated anything that was. They left the house cleaner than expected with no need to vacuum or clean up the house after them. It was empty and ready to be sold! The whole process could not have gone better! 5+ stars******Posted on C AllisonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Joy and her two female crew packed up my home for my move to assisted living at Keystone place. They came back the next day and set up my apartment so all I had to do was walk through the door, to my fully furnished apartment They are very professional and so friendly that anyone contemplating downsizing or moving would love them. Smooth Transitions is in my opinion, a five star business and I would and will hire them again to clean out and sell everything left in my home so I can sell it. They are the very best..Posted on K SweeneyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Joy was an absolute JOY to work with as we prepared my parents' apartment for their move. While I was out of state helping them, she worked with me to plan the space, source furniture and decor, and then she and her team flawlessly moved it all in! She is experienced and wonderfully caring. Working with her was lifesaver during a very busy time for me. My parents have loved the space and all her finishing touches. We highly recommend Joy & her team!Posted on D ErbaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is a fantastic company!! My brother has to move apartments within his Independent Community. They were unbelievable!! Efficient, patient , thorough, and just so nice!! If you have a loved one that needs to move this is the company to call!! Joy and her team are the best!! Do not hesitate call them immediately!! Thank you Joy!! His new apartment looks so great!!Posted on L FoleyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Joy and her team made my motherโs move to assisted living a breeze. I like to refer to her as โthe wedding plannerโ because she took all the stress out of the process and left us time to reminisce with my mother over fond memories shared at the home she was leaving. Joy helped my mother weed through her โtreasuresโ and downsize to only her favorites to be brought to her new home. She found a great mover, packed and unpacked all of her belongings, and left my mother with nothing more to do than meet some new neighbors. It felt like the big reveal on an HGTV home show. My mother loves her new home and is adjusting beautifully! Thank you Joy and team, we couldnโt have done it without you!Load more
