# Make Peace with Organizing **Trade:** Moving · **Address:** 19 Columbia Rd, Marblehead, MA 01945, USA · **Phone:** (857) 205-4072 · **Website:** https://www.makepeacewithorganizing.com/ · **Languages:** English **Rating: 3.9/5** (medium confidence) — from 8 reviews across 5 sources. 100% of sentiment-scored reviews read net-positive. Last 6 months: 0 reviews, 0 negative. ## The honest read Make Peace with Organizing is a Marblehead professional-organizing and senior move management company founded by Rachel Carlino Dangora (a former lawyer) with her husband Mike Dangora heading move logistics — the work is decluttering and downsizing homes, then packing, unpacking and coordinating the movers and estate-sale crews, across Massachusetts, New Hampshire and southern Maine. All eight Google reviews on file, dated between September 2025 and February 2026, are five stars, and the specifics repeat. A February 2026 review describes moving a family friend into senior living, praising Rachel for a fair price and being "very sensitive," with team member Linda helping show her that keeping everything wasn't realistic. A January 2026 review from a repeat client — their second time, having moved one relative into senior living and another into memory care within the year — says Kelly went "way above and beyond." An October 2025 review says a couple's parents were fully unpacked and settled in their new apartment by the end of moving day, crediting Gail's patience. It isn't only senior transitions: a January 2026 review covers a chaotic basement finally organized before a baby arrived, and a September 2025 review describes a garage decluttered and fitted out with storage bins. Several reviewers identify themselves as elder-care or senior-living professionals who refer clients to the company regularly and hear back the same thing — clear communication and a calm hand during a stressful time. The BBB gives the company an A+ with no complaints on file since it opened in 2018, though it isn't BBB-accredited. One thing worth a clarifying question: the website describes the business as an LLC, while its BBB profile lists it as a sole proprietorship. Each review names a different team member — Linda, Kelly, Gail — alongside Rachel, so it's reasonable to ask who's assigned to your job, and a December 2025 review mentions a free initial consultation to walk through services and costs. A strong fit for families navigating an emotional downsizing move into senior living, and just as suited to anyone facing an overwhelmed garage or basement. **Strengths:** - Senior move specialists — patient with emotional downsizing and memory-care transitions - Referral network — elder-care professionals refer clients repeatedly **Where sources disagree:** - The website describes the business as an LLC while its BBB profile lists it as a sole proprietorship ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - Eight Google reviews from September 2025 to February 2026 are all five stars, repeatedly praising patience and clear communication during senior downsizing moves _(confidence: high)_ - [Google](https://maps.google.com/?cid=2127079802797645220&g_mp=CiVnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLkdldFBsYWNlEAIYBCAA) — “Google: 5★ from 88 ratings” - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sCi9DQUlRQUNvZENodHljRjlvT2poelZIRnlhVEZXVGw5SGFIWm1TRXhIZUdKV2EwRRAB!2m1!1s0x0:0x1d84e7cf96a95da4!3m1!1s2@1:CAIQACodChtycF9oOjhzVHFyaTFWTl9HaHZmSExHeGJWa0E%7C%7C?hl=en-US) — “5★ I had a dear friend who needed major decluttering so we could move her to a Senior Living Community.
