Relocators - Moving & Storage

Growing up in Long Island and Queens, Robert Esposito recalls how his Nana was a  “collector of other people’s things”. As a child of the Great Depression, she could not throw  away the items her tenants left behind when they moved out of her apartments. In today’s  terms, she would be called a hoarder, but back in her day, it was the way of life. 

When his Nana became too ill to live on her own, Robert’s mother Denise moved her out to  their home on Long Island. The caregiver of the family, she also took on the daunting task of emptying her childhood home in Queens, including all those other people’s things, too!  After finishing this labor of love, she realized that others were probably experiencing this  same emotionally and physically draining work. She understood first-hand what others  would experience and in 2002, she started Sisters in Charge with a small local ad that read;  “Old stuff out brings the money in, let us show you where to begin.” Her mission was to  help others through this process by hosting and managing Estate Sales.  

Robert’s 1st introduction to work was at 12years old, helping his father do “clean-ups” of  vacant lots for pocket money. A side business his father had while working for the FDNY.  From 19-24yrs old, while in college, Robert worked at a famous Restaurant on Long Island  owned by two brothers. The brothers were very different from each other when it came to how they ran their business. However, they both built and ran the extremely successful  restaurant by taking extremely good care of customers and the community.  These men  were mentors to Robert in the business world, and although they had very different styles; it afforded Robert two educations on how to run a company and always keep the customer  the top priority.  

During this time on the weekends Robert would help his mother by doing clean-outs after  her Estate Sales. After each estate sale was done, he would rent and fill dumpsters, and  move larger items for her customers.  He cleaned the homes to make them “closing ready”. 

Relocators is Born 

Helping Sisters in Charge transition Estate Sale clients from one home to another, Robert  became the “go-to mover” by Directors of Assisted Living facilities in the area. The recent  grad and aspiring entrepreneur seized the opportunity and in 2008 he bought his first box  truck naming the company Relocators Service, Inc. Soon, Relocators was actively serving  clients in Long Island with not just post-sale clean outs, but also staging for estate sales and  assisting clients who needed temporary storage.

By 2015, Relocators moving division had started doing “pack outs” for restoration companies. Another big “life’s stressor” that Relocators was able to  ease for customers. By 2018, Relocators started servicing nationwide moving, online  auctions, and full-service storage at one of their 5 locations.
