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.
