About Caring Transitions of Salem

Caring Transitions of Salem is the Professional Solution for relocation services including downsizing, decluttering, & estate sales for both full and partial liquidations.

Whether you’re de-cluttering, downsizing or clearing the estate of someone who has passed, the project you’re facing can be daunting and overwhelming. At Caring Transitions, we’re here to take the worry and stress out of those life transitions so you can spend more time with your loved ones and start your next chapter on the right foot.

I’m John W. Hoge III, the owner of Caring Transitions of Salem, and I understand what you’re going through. When my grandfather passed away, I saw my grieving, elderly grandmother faced with being alone and trying to take care of a 3,600-square-foot house. When I decided I wanted to open my own business, the challenges she faced inspired me to launch Caring Transitions of Salem. This business gives me the tools I need to help other families manage the transitions they’re facing while serving as a resource for this community.

Prior to opening this business, I served in the United States Marine Corp as a Military Police Officer and then was a property manager for multi-family housing in Portland and Salem. My mother, Tania L. Turnell, is also part of this business and will be working as our Chief Marketing Officer. She’s a Certified Relocation and Transition Specialist, a designation bestowed by an independent organization that evaluates providers of senior relocation services, and she has a background as a Real Estate broker and caterer. She attended the University of Oregon and is a member of Salem Soundwaves, an organization that participates in entertainment at senior communities.

If you’re facing a move or estate clearing, just give us a call and hear what we have to say. It’s easy to stand back, look at a property and think you can clear it and get it ready to sell in a weekend, but for many families, it can become a project that drags on for weeks, months or even years. Even if you decide we’re not the right fit for you, at least let us show you how we can help.
