Home Management By Design

We offer free assessments and affordable pricing for our services.

How can we help you

Founded in 2016, Home Management by Design was conceived by Dianne Formica, the managing director. Dianne recognized that people everywhere face the same problem, the accumulation of too many items. Rather than go through the hassle of trying to sell these items themselves, many people simply decide to discard them. This is where Dianne saw an opportunity. We will photograph, catalog and, along with our partnering site, place your items in an on-line auction. The following steps are typical of the process.

R

Inventory, Set up and Stage

R

Take Measurements and Photographs

R

Write Descriptions and Catalog Items

R

Edit the draft catalog and establish timelines for the auction

R

Designate one day (typically 4 hours in length) for bidders to pick up the items they won. The pick up is managed and closely supervised

Testimonials

“Dianne Formica and her Team at HMD did a fantastic, highly professional job of the burdensome task of first cleaning out, and then categorizing and self-managing an on-line auction sale with over 50 years worth of house contents that had accumulated in our parents Bucks County home after they both passed way, and we needed to sell the property. I highly recommend HMD be contacted for providing this type of service If your needs are similar to ours.”

“My husband and I are preparing to move to a new State. Needed time sensitive help in decluttering our home of 30+ years.
The on-line auction route was an unknown until we met Dianne – thanks to the impressive recommendations of a previous client. “Home Management by Design” was perfect for us. Dianne was quick to understand our expectations, flexible to our schedules, knowledgeable and experienced on-line home auctions expert. She moved quickly in organizing our clutter. She was an exceptionally hard worker, a pleasure to have in our home. Made our auction sale with MAXSOLD a breeze. Dianne delivers on her promise with sensible pricing and personality plus. We will be using her again. Happy to recommend her to you. “

“Prior to the sale of my home, I engaged Home Management By Design, LLC, owned by Dianne Formica. Dianne organized, planned and staged the house, as well as cleaned up the outside yard in preparation for listing. Once the house was sold, Dianne made arrangements with a long distance moving company to move me from Pennsylvania to Texas. Dianne also disposed of unwanted furniture, clothing and various items through an online auction catalog complete with photos, measurements and descriptions of each item. Everything that was put in the auction sold! Her professionalism and the results she achieved exceeded my highest expectations.”

George G., Carversville, PA

“Home Management by Design, Dianne Formica, was the BEST choice I could have imagined to help me with my very large auction. There was so much stuff that we worked for five months on it. Dianne has endless energy, is very organized and thorough, and has a positive outlook on all aspects of the auction. She always drove the 60 miles (one way) to arrive at my house when she promised, and when she ran into a conflict, she always kept me informed and/or asked my permission. Her upbeat attitude kept me going. She’s a treasure and well worth the fees I paid her. Dianne and I are now fast friends.”

Joanna H., Emmaus, PA

“When I downsized my home, I elected to use the MaxSold “by owner” approach, not fully realizing the task involved. That’s when I decided to contact Home Management by Design. Thank goodness I did. Dianne came in and took over. She organized the lots, photographed and catalogued them and submitted them to MaxSold. No muss, no fuss. She also managed the pick up day to insure that it went smoothly as well. Can’t say enough about reliability, professionalism, and dedication. If you’re planning to downsize, make sure you contact Home Management by Design. You’ll be happy you did.”

Mike C., Macungie, PA

“Dianne is really good. So far she has helped to organize two online sales. Our objectives were to get rid of stuff and break even, and with her guidance we sold 99% and made some good money. She’s highly organized, comes well-prepared, knows what sells and what doesn’t, knows how to group things to enhance sales, and photographs items assiduously. She’s so careful that she informs us of hidden value that we had missed. Then she catalogues expertly. Finally, she knows all the games people can play and is a watchdog at pickup times. We’ll happily use Dianne again.”
