What Is A CRTS?

A Certified Relocation and Transition Specialist (CRTS) is a person who has taken a course and has passed a national test. The national network of Transitions Specialists are trained to provide planning and labor services to assist those 55+, their families and caregivers through the entire moving or downsizing process. Certified Transition specialists are educated and tested to understand basic medical, health, and mental issues related to a senior client, as well as personal property management, floor plans, sorting, downsizing, organizing, packing, and unpacking and prepare homes for sale. All CRTS Certified professionals are required to pass criminal background checks and meet testing, insurance, and education requirements.

Jaret Brietstein, co-owner, is a Certified Relocation and Transition Specialist. He left his position as a stock broker and mortgage broker to begin a new career as a Senior Move Manager. Jaret’s experience over the last eight years, working very closely with hundreds of seniors, has cultivated qualities such as compassion, caring, integrity and has even been “adopted” as a grandson by many people he has moved. He will be the contact person you will speak to including the senior, adult child and all family members. He was asked by an Executive Director of two Assisted Living Communities to move 27 rooms. The community was turning one of the buildings into a Memory Care unit in one suburb and the other to a totally Assisted Living Community in another suburb. Some Seniors moved from the assisted to the Memory Care and some had to be moved from assisted to the new assisted building. All clients belongings were boxed, shrink wrapped, labeled, unpacked and settled before the Senior walked into their new home within the day. This task was done efficiently and smoothly in a few day period. Jaret is there to hold your hand from the beginning to the end no matter how large or how small the job may be.

Barbara Brietstein, co-owner, of Bright Transitions and a self-proclaimed “caretaker” owned her own Event and Design Company in South Florida for 20 years. She retired her business and her career to take care of her parents needs. She moved them from their condominium to independent living, then to assisted living and moved her mother to an Alzheimer’s residence all in a period of a year, in between all the hospitalizations. Based on this experience, and as a member of the “Sandwich generation,” she recognized the unmet need for these moving services in South Florida. With her professional training of organizing events and making every event special, she brought this expertise to Bright Transitions. She and her son Jaret, are “Family moving Families.”

We move the transition process along to keep the project on schedule. We do it in a very short period of time as to not upset the Senior or overwhelm them at this very stressful time. Most importantly, you’ll be sure the job is done efficiently and affordable, but always with respect and compassion.
