Below are a few testimonials from our satisfied clients:
We can’t thank you enough for your professionalism and patience. We were completely overwhelmed by the enormity of moving until you stepped into the picture.
The albums you prepared for us have been unbelievably useful. It was so easy to locate various items by looking at the photos and then locating the item we wanted by matching the photo’s information with the appropriate moving box.
We also want to thank you for helping us select the right mover for our job, referring us to the right person for assistance in the sale of some of our household goods, and your recommendations of both clean-out and document shredding companies. Everyone did a great job at a reasonable price.
Your talents and organizational skills are a perfect match for your chosen profession. I have already recommended your services to a neighbor of mine. If I ever move again, you will be my first phone call!

Dear Sharon,
I want to take this opportunity to thank you for the excellent job you did. My duties as the Executor included emptying the contents of the apartment and surrendering it to the management. This was quite complicated since it contained items of value which had to be appraised and sold (if possible), papers which had to be boxed and shipped to the attorney for the estate, a new hospital bed which needed to be donated (if possible) and other furnishings which had to be removed. The apartment had to be emptied and cleaned for surrender to the management. It was inconvenient for me since I reside in New Jersey and the apartment was located on the east side of Manhattan; and difficult since I had no experience doing this.
It was a great relief meeting with you at the apartment and knowing that you would take care of everything. I also appreciated your emails and phone calls keeping me informed of the progress, and getting my approval before accepting an offer or engaging a trash company. I only had to make two personal trips to the apartment, the first at the beginning to meet with you and learn what had to be done, and the last after the job was done, to inspect the empty apartment and turn the keys over to the management. You did all the rest expeditiously and efficiently. It was a pleasure working with you.
Feel free to give my name to any prospective clients who ask for a reference. I was very pleased with your services and would be glad to provide any recommendation you might need in the future.

Sharon (Ms. Bregman, founder of 360déménager) brings order and organization to traumatic chaos!
Not only does she keep her teams working every moment, but she also presents the client with albums/binders of pictures of every work of art, right down to the contents of every drawer and closet. A list also is provided room by room, box by labeled box, with contents spelled out specifically.
Sharon’s experience with major packing and unpacking is extensive, and the wise person heeds her suggestions and counsel.
Sharon’s honesty is above reproach and if you have any further questions, I will gladly sing her praises at (212)***-**** (ask Sharon for the number).
Elsie L. Adler New York City, NYAfter six years in storage while we lived abroad, we decided it was time to rid ourselves of our container in storage in New Jersey. Countless calls, e-mails and pleas over many months were futile; no one would help us sell and/or dispose of these items and our location in Asia made it impossible for us to do it ourselves. Thank goodness Sharon was recommended and agreed to take us on. Within two weeks, everything was assessed, moved, donated and the rest poised to be sold.
We are amazed at the speed and care that was taken to ensure personal items were sent to family members and sensitive documents retrieved and housed.
Sharon, thank you! This has been hanging over our head for years…..
Tomas and Adrienne Urbanec Singapore
“I didn’t think I needed anyone to help me with my move. However, I am so grateful a friend introduced me to Sharon Bregman. Sharon’s organizational skills, contacts and know-how helped me breeze through what was potentially a nightmare situation … leaving my home of 22 years for a smaller apartment. We had furniture going to relatives in five different locations throughout the country. Sharon got me through the upheaval of parting with years of sentimental clutter and helped me sell the rest. She made a complicated and emotional move easy and painless.”

“Although I have known Sharon for the past 5 years, I first engaged her to provide services for one of my clients just last year. Sharon’s professionalism, expertise, honesty, integrity and level of personal attention is without question, the best there is. When I find the need to bring other professionals in to provide services to my clients, I need to know that they will work with my client in the same way that I would, paying attention to every detail, being responsive, being cost effective, and providing feedback. Sharon is all that and more. She excels at her work, and she is a joy to know. It is my honor to wholeheartedly endorse Sharon for any and all estate dispositions and household moves for everyone and their clients.”
Michael Mickiewicz, CPA, CFP, MBA/MS – New York, NY
360déménager took care of every element of our move flawlessly. Everything was photographed, packed, inventoried and labeled, and we were able to move all our belongings to our temporary home, to storage, and to our new apartment with great confidence that everything was done properly.
We left all the issues and details to Sharon and her staff, and all was taken care of conscientiously.
Kai & Christopher Falkenberg – New York, NY
Dear Sharon,
This is just a note to tell you how much I enjoyed working with you and how much I valued your professionalism in assisting me with this estate. Needless to say, I will keep you in mind whenever a similar assignment arises.
Richard Marlin, Esq. – New York, NY
“Sharon, I speak for the family when I tell you what a great help you have been to us. We really appreciate all your efforts in selling the mid century modern contents of our aunt’s estate in Closter NJ. The large collection of American Art Pottery was not an area of expertise for you, yet you went at it with much enthusiasm and wonderful results.
We were all pleasantly surprised with the outcome, especially since we had no idea what to expect. We owe it to you.
So thank you again. Take care and it was my pleasure to have met and worked with you.”
- Cynthia Tobia, Brooklyn, NY
“I recently had the fortunate opportunity to work with Sharon and her team. Highly organized and detail oriented, Sharon took an otherwise complicated move and transformed it into a smooth one. Throughout the two-week long move, no bump in the road prevented Sharon from attaining exceptional results.
From packing to unloading, Sharon was there every step of the way. Moreover, Sharon’s strong knowledge of antiques and fine furniture proved invaluable. Overall, Sharon’s willingness to go the extra mile was a breath of fresh air. Anyone who has the opportunity to work with Sharon on a residential move will be grateful they did.”
- Jacob Morris, President, Morris Moving & Storage, Mt. Vernon, NY
“Dear Sharon:
We could not have gotten through the move from New Canaan, CT without you! Wine movers and storage. Fine arts packing, moving and storage. White glove furniture moving and storage. Shredding companies for old files. Junk haulers to clean out the house. Fine carpet cleaners. All this and it only scratches the surface. Your knowledge of who to call, how things should be done, and then your oversight of the process and attention to detail blew us away.
Thank you for all of your help. When we first called you to help us move after 20 years in the same house, we thought your services would be a luxury. Now we know they are a necessity.”
- Robin Grossman, Greenwich, CT
“I must tell you that your attention to detail, keeping me informed and genuine concern and care (in emptying my late father’s apartment) was so appreciated. My residing in Arizona and the apartment being in New York was complicated, yet once you took charge, I knew the outcome would be positive.
I would not hesitate recommending you and your outstanding service to anyone.”
- Jim Whitney, Fountain Hills, AZ
“Sharon Bregman is a thorough, no nonsense, honest professional. I know this first hand as she moved me from a large ten room house (loaded with all manner of collectables, art, antiques and a wine cellar) to a three room apartment. I could not have done this without her help.
She is extremely knowledgeable about antiques, art, oriental rugs and silver. Above all she is HONEST: There are no hidden commissions or fees. She is 100 percent trustworthy.”
- Harvey Reisman, a young 88-year old, Maplewood, NJ
Dear Sharon,
Once again, thanks so much for all your help and support in the job of emptying my Grandmother’s apartment. It was an overwhelming task for me, from both an emotional and practical point of view. I truly appreciated your sensitive guidance, your candor, and your professionalism. We were very happy with the price you were able to get for my Grandmother’s collectibles. And, ultimately, your perspective really helped us through the process. All six cousins ended up very pleased with the results.
All my best&

I have been meaning to write to you for what appears to have been an eternity. I would like to let you how much you contributed to my wife’s and my well being by doing the monumental task of getting us out of our eight room (storage facility) home and letting us start a new life.
Lenore is still suffering from a modest but fully noticeable dementia with her memory still somewhere else. But this new found freedom has given me the time to help her participate socially as well as taking care of our woefully deteriorated medical needs.
I will never be able to thank you and my son in-law and daughter for what you have done. Should you ever get to Florida I would love to have dinner with you and just talk about it from your end.
I wanted to write about this so that others might know what is possible.

Finding Sharon Bregman and her firm, 360déménager, was a real
break through for me. I met her while acting as executor for the estate of a late friend. As I am not a professional executor, this was an opportunity for me to find out what I needed to know not only for the estate but also for myself: how to sell valuable paintings and antiques without wallowing in a sea of ignorance, selling them for next to nothing or giving them away.
Sharon demonstrated that there is a way. She impressed me greatly not only with her expertise concerning art, but with her ability to persuade knowledgeable dealers to come to your house, look at your possessions, evaluate their interest and, ultimately, make a fair offer. Though I had experience in buying and selling at auctions and buying from dealers, it was only as a collector and not as an owner trying to dispose fairly and profitably of a large group of possessions. I would not have succeeded without Sharon.

I would like to thank you for all of your help in the move of our parents from New Jersey to Florida. This was a very difficult task since our parents were in their house for more than 45 years and our mother is in poor health. You worked very well with our family to handle every detail of this transition which included selection of the personal possessions to move and which to offer for sale. You also selected a mover, arranged for an estate sale, selected a trash hauler to clean out the home and finally arranged for a crew to get the house cleaned and ready for the real estate market. This entire process was completed is a very timely way.
We found you and the professional companies that you selected to be very caring, efficient, hard working, honest and fair. Our experience was very positive and we would recommend you to others. You made this difficult job for our family flow smoothly and seamlessly.
- Stuart and Donna Ganslaw, Delray Beach, FL
Sharon Bregman is the most efficient, well organized professional I had the pleasure of doing business with during a stressful time of handling the guardianship for my aunts estate from out of state.
Sharon was referred to me on a Friday, scheduled a meeting at the property on Saturday, established the parameters of the job and clarified expectations. By Monday, I received an email contract. She utilized skilled and trusted subcontractors in estates sales, cleaning and garbage collection and orchestrated it perfectly. In three weeks the house was ready for an open house!

I’m a 79 year old divorced professional who lived in a two bedroom apartment in New Jersey. I retired and decided to move to Nevada. I wanted to drive there so I could visit my children and see places I always wanted to see. But what was I going to do with all my clothes, furniture, books, paintings, sculptures, trophies, diplomas, tax returns, lecture notes, etc. – over fifty years of collection.
I Googled move consultant and luckily found Sharon. I interviewed her, checked references, signed her agreement and put down a deposit.
Sharon guided me in dividing my stuff into garbage, sell, give away and keep. She provided me with a to-do list as well as names and phone numbers. We met with a moving man and set the moveout date.
I left a week before the movers came. Sharon supervised the move out followed by a cleaning crew that brought the apartment into broom swept condition. The next day she turned the apartment over to the landlord, a difficult individual, and obtained every penny of my security. A remarkable feat bordering on miraculous. And this was done with me 1500 miles away.
I definitely recommend Sharon Bregman.

“In May 2007, I found myself faced with a major household move that had to be completed within one week. Taking the enormity of the move into consideration, my assistant suggested that we needed help. Fortunately, she had heard of a company ’360 Demenager’ and contacted them. Sharon Bregman, owner of the company, responded immediately, looked over the situation, and told us not to worry.
Sharon immediately handed us a detailed 5 page list of every conceivable person, provider, agency etc to contact and notify. Then she started to photograph, catalogue and oversee the packing of our art collection as well as the rest of the home’s contents. She made inventory lists, numbered boxes in her unique fashion and kept the job moving along at a very fast pace to meet our deadline.
Sharon was there to oversee that everything was properly loaded onto the moving van and that the empty house was clean, everything was turned off and the doors and windows were locked. The next morning she appeared to make sure that every box and piece of furniture was in its proper location.
A few days after the move, I needed a specific painting and did not know if I could find it in the multitude of boxes. But with Sharon’s accurate numbering system and list, we located the proper box in less than two minutes. I never knew that such a service existed. Without her positive attitude and know how, this move would never have been as organized and stress free.”
- Robert R., Tenafly, NJ
“I am an Executor for an estate and used the services of 360 Déménager to empty the apartment of the deceased.
It was a pleasure working with Sharon. She is very professional, efficient, organized, knowledgeable and incredibly helpful. She communicated with me at all times and let me know what was exactly going on and what the costs would be. She sorted and sifted through the contents, found valuables, sold what could be sold, hired the outside services that we needed and delivered a clean empty apartment on time as promised.
I could not have executed my duties as the Executor without her expertise. I recommend her highly.”
- Adina Weinstein, NJ
“After sorting through my parents’ possessions and years of accumulation, I needed help disposing of what remained. That’s when Sharon came to my rescue. She masterfully coordinated the packing up and shipping to Illinois part, as well as the sale, donation or disposal of paintings, furniture, medical equipment and hundreds of books. Her meticulous attention to detail and her concern for my well-being were a godsend. I couldn’t have done it in as short a time period, or as well, without her. Quite frankly, she kept me sane!”
-Barbara Lyding, Champaign,IL
“I hate change. I lived in the same apartment for 22 years and I had not thrown anything out. I have also been in the fashion business for 26 years, accumulating a lot of stuff along the way. I was moving and I needed help.
Sharon assessed my apartment, which was full of clutter, a few weeks prior to move day. She said, No problem; this is easy. I looked at her in disbelief. Keep or toss decision-making was totally foreign to me. I waited until the last possible minute, pre-packing day with Sharon, to take action. On packing day, she arrived and before I knew it, everything was in numbered boxes. Painless!
The next day, my new home was a maze of boxes. Sharon arrived and said, Just go to work. That evening I walked around my apartment in a pleasant state of shock. My sweaters (dozens and dozens of every color imaginable) were neatly stacked, my suits arranged by color and season, my hoodies separated and arranged by zip-up or pullover type. A miracle!
Then I asked Sharon to do my kitchen and in one day it was done! Bravo, Sharon!”
- Lesley Zwick, New York, NY
I want to take this opportunity to thank you for your assistance in closing my aunt s apartment. Your knowledge and sensitivity were invaluable to me. You took a task which seemeed to be beyond my doing and made it easy. By your working alongside, we were able to have the apartment ready for sale in three days. Unbelievable!
- Herb Orlan, Gaylordsville, CT
Thank you for your extraordinary effort in organizing, removing and selling my mother s lifetime collection of belongings. The professional and efficient way you handled every step made it easier for us to cope with the closing of her home and saying goodbye to many childhood memories. You delivered as promised. But most of all, thank you for your care and kindness during this difficult time.
- Stephen M., Canada
We would like to thank you for all your help. We were faced with a very difficult situation and your efforts made the process much less stressful. You not only handled the task at hand very efficiently and professionally, but you also made some valuable suggestions.
- O. Gibson, IL
The service was prompt, courteous and trustworthy. It was like having Mrs. Reliable help us organize and move. Thank you so much.
- Richard Z., GA
Sharon brings the same management skills and attention to detail to shutting down your relative’s home as she has done throughout her career in business and other aspects of real estate. She provides a wonderful combination of personal and professional service at what can be a very difficult time.
