1. How do I become a partner?
  Fill out our partner form at the link above.
2. When will my partnership be approved?
  Immediately after we receive your request and you receive your confirmation email, you may start to fill out the Furnishings Request Form for your clients.
3. Is there a fee for the service?
  There is a $250 service fee for each furnishings request.
4. How do I coordinate a move for my clients?
  On the Furnishings Request Form, you will be asked 2 potential furniture delivery dates and about moving logistics (either we can coordinate the movers and bill your agency for the moving fees OR you can you can coordinate your own movers). Then, be on the lookout for an email from us where we will confirm logistics and which furniture pick-up/delivery date and time works best.
5. How long does it take?
  We will have the set of items ready for your client in 3-5 business days after you make the request. If we have any questions about the request, we will call you as soon as possible. We will email you when the items are ready and the move is scheduled.
6. Can my client pick up the items themselves?
  They cannot. In an effort to provide the happiest and safest possible experience for your clients and our staff and volunteers we are now requiring that all furnishings that we provide be picked up from our warehouse by professional movers. We are happy to arrange for one of our experienced moving partners to pick up from our warehouse and deliver furniture to your clients’ new homes and then charge you for that service. Make It Home works with a select group of movers who are professional, sensitive to client needs, and reasonably priced. Alternatively, if you have a moving company whom you prefer to use, you can work with our team to have them take care of delivery to your clients at your cost.
7. Is the furniture new or used?
  The items that we provide to your clients are gently used. We do curate our furnishings to the best of our abilities and put together personalized selections for your client but count on donations for our inventory.
8. Can the client choose their own items?
  No, they cannot. But rest assured, our Founder and volunteers have extensive interior design experience and take pride in provided coordinated sets of furnishings.
9. Can we see photos of the furniture in advance?
  No, you cannot. We are moving too quickly for our many clients to be able to take that extra step.
10. Do you take returns?
  We generally do not take returns. If there is an unavoidable return, the fee is $200.
