Today we’d like to introduce you to Sharon McRill.
Hi Sharon, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
In 2003 The Betty Brigade began like many small companies: one woman with a desire to help others, a long to-do list, and many busy people who desperately needed her services.
“I had recently been laid off from a corporate marketing job and had tried other jobs here and there, but nothing seemed to fit.
When I was part of the corporate world, I’d fantasize about having a personal assistant to help me with everything I didn’t have time to do at home while I was so busy working.
Not long after I had lost my job, I was curled into a ball, feeling sorry for myself and watching an episode of Oprah. Then, listening to her guests being interviewed, something clicked. I jumped off the couch and decided to turn the idea of having a personal home assistant into a business concept, and The Betty Brigade was born.
I started by making a list of things I was good at and reached out to contacts I had built relationships with over the years from my corporate job. Then I started getting busy. Really busy. I was getting constant referrals. I had to hire an employee to help keep track of all my appointments and to keep the business end of things organized while I was out helping clients. Today The Betty Brigade has grown into one of the most trusted home organization and relocation companies in America, serving clients in all fifty states.
“I hear people say that good help is hard to find, especially help you can trust. That’s where The Betty Brigade comes to the rescue. We take care of everything when you move, so you don’t have to.”
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
After 24 years there have been great days and not so great days, honestly too many to mention. Suffice to say, owning a business is not for the faint-of-heart.

What Does The Betty Brigade Do?
In a nutshell, we do everything that you need to be done to help you move. From sorting through multi-decade collections, to emptying garages, providing room-by-room detailed inventory lists, to helping you list and sell unwanted personal items and removing the rest. The Betty Brigade does it all so you don’t have to.
We also have a full-service handyman department. Need your new home painted? Need windows replaced at your old place, light fittings changed out, hand railings installed, non-slip stair protectors installed? Whatever you need to make your move simple and stress free, we’ll take care of it. Our Handycrew specifically works in the Ann Arbor area.
What Makes The Betty Brigade Team Special?
All of our team are employees of The Betty Brigade. They’re not contractors or subcontractors. We are meticulous about the people we hire and do full background checks locally, federally, and state-wide. This is so important for client safety and peace of mind – especially as many of our clients are seniors. All our employees are trained in The Betty Brigade 67-Step Peace & Ease Home Organization & Relocation Methodology™. We thoroughly check out any vendors we work with so our clients only get the best service available. We are also bonded & insured so you have complete peace of mind.
So, before we go, how can our readers or others connect or collaborate with you? How can they support you?
We know moving is one of life’s most stressful events. Let us help you with this. We have been doing this work every day since 2003.
