Verified by Autumn
I am the founder and chief executive of 360déménager, a firm that helps trustees and executors with aspects of emptying the home including identifying, valuing and selling art, antiques jewelry and fine home contents, coordinating, organizing and overseeing every aspect of residential moves, and preparing detailed photographic inventory documentation for estate, donation and/or insurance purposes. We provide three types of services and any one assignment generally calls for two if not all three as there is a lot of crossover: 1. Estate Administration/Estate Disposition 2. Residential Move Management Experts 3. Photographic Documentation Service
Sharon is a native of Montreal. After attending McGill University and receiving a BA in Physiological Psychology and Political Science and then an MA in Education, Sharon moved to California and later on to New York City. Prior to founding Déménager, Sharon managed more than 1,500 residential units and 1,000,000 square feet of retail space. Her long and varied carrier has taken her from education, to consulting, to international new product marketing, to real estate. From all of this, she drew on a multitude of skills, experiences and her need to fill a void to start Déménager. It was in June of 2006, shortly after her mother passed, that Sharon founded Déménager. There was no one to help her with her mother’s lifetime of possessions, emptying the home and gaining closure, so she knew others needed help too. Sharon’s business grew out of her personal experience and need to share her knowledge and expertise. Now in her 19th year at the helm of her unique business, Sharon provides 3 comprehensive services intended to lessen stress and allow clients to calmly go about taking care of themselves and their lives.
It is important to keep stressful situations under control; to lighten the pressure of time constraints; and to keep the burden of rarely occurring traumas from crushing in on us. A thoughtful, experienced professional can bring in a level of expertise at these moments to allow us to carry on with our lives, our work and our many routine obligations. I would have loved that person to turn to. Now, I am able to be that person and it is a pleasure to be able to eliminate confusion/panic/stress/distress.

I had lost both my father and my mother within 9 months and was overwhelmed by how much needed to be done. Anxious and uncertain, I called Sharon. Within ten minutes of telephone time, I felt as if I’d known Sharon for years. She was kind, but business-like. She sized up the situation immediately. Then she let me vent. I asked her many questions. She never made me feel like I was wasting her time. Sharon did not see this as an assignment that she needed to be hired to do but she did offer to help me navigate the process myself. By the end of the conversation, we had a plan in place. She did stop by to size up the situation pro bono to walk me through the process. Sharon was very accessible and she helped me negotiate my way through every aspect of emptying my parent’s home. She is extremely bright, savvy, well connected, and wastes no time making sure you are not making a silly or costly decision as it relates to your estate, your home, or your memories. I recommend Sharon Bregman highly. She made what could have been a heart-wrenching process, virtually painless.

I was named as Executor of my sister’s estate. I am not a professional Executor and did not know how to go about emptying my sister’s condo in New York City. Also, I live outside of Philadelphia and find it difficult to get to New York. Luckily, my broker recommended Sharon and 360déménager! Sharon made the task of emptying the condo fast and efficient. I must tell you that her attention to detail, keeping me informed, and genuine concern were greatly appreciated. Sharon even forwarded to me a sentimental “Sisters” book, which touched me greatly. Sharon stayed in touch efficiently by email and phone. She hired a Junk Removal Company where needed and stayed in touch with the Condo Management and me almost daily. I could not have done this without Sharon’s help! Her knowledge of who to call, how to get things done, her organizational skills, and overseeing of the whole project impressed me the most! I would not hesitate in recommending Sharon and her outstanding service to anyone!

Working with Sharon was an absolute pleasure. At our initial consultation, she clearly explained her process and how she based her fees. She and her team cheerfully undertook the daunting task of segregating the sellable items as well as the donatable from those which were not, carefully documenting the former, disposing of the latter, and keeping me apprised of her progress along the way. She consulted me when decisions had to be made and advised me when I had questions. I was very pleased with both the process itself and the ultimate results.

Insurance for your peace of mind
You have insurance for the contents of your home. You have been told it is for replacement value. Perhaps some select pieces of art, jewelry and furniture are itemized. Perhaps someone came to see your home and its contents when you first moved in. Did they look in every drawer and closet? Does anyone really know what you have?
A few years pass. Premiums have been paid. Something happens – a fire, a flood, a robbery. How do you actually prove that you had what you are reporting to the insurance adjustor?
Bringing in Déménager to do a 100% photographic inventory can give you and your family peace of mind as you sort through other matters, both emotional and financial. We will make sure that your personal property is digitally documented. We photograph: all works of art, lamps, chandeliers, area rugs, furniture, mirrors, items on table tops and other bric-a-brac, electronics, contents of closets and drawers, appliances, exterior furniture, jewelry etc.
Photographic inventories can be augmented with written descriptions if so desired.
Everything is saved in the cloud and clients receive thumb drives which can be stored off-site or given to your insurance agent, or any trusted advisor.
Déménager will be your discrete, hands-on, inventorying professional. There will be no doubts about what you own. Whether protecting yourself for: an insurance claim; to advise house hold help and/or care givers that you know what is in the home; or to make sure that your heirs know what is in the home, a picture is worth a thousand words.
We work for you and your peace of mind.
