Meet Mark and
Shawn Gates
We are Mark and Shawn Gates, the local
owners of Caring Transitions – Twin Cities East. We were both born and raised
in the Twin Cities area and we are proud to call Woodbury home. We launched
this business because, after retiring, we knew we weren’t finished with our
careers, but we also wanted an opportunity to make a difference. Caring
Transitions provides a much-needed service to the community and a means for us
to build a philanthropic platform to support the communities we serve.
Caring Transitions is the professional
and compassionate choice for senior moves, downsizing and in-home & online estate
sales. Our specially-trained team members can handle every detail of your
transition, including decluttering, sorting and preparing valuables to sell,
packing, move management, unpacking and resettling, in-home and online estate
sales, preparing homes for market and more.
Caring
Transitions brings extraordinary value and comfort to every family and
individual during life's many transitions. We are here to take the stress out
of the equation so seniors and families can focus on the next step in their
journey.
Mark
has more than 32 years of business leadership experience with 3M Company. He
has led large global organizations in the Industrial Markets, Automotive,
Aerospace, Traffic Safety and Health Care industries. Shawn has more than 20
years of customer service and supervisory experience. She has worked in

In
addition to working directly with clients, we work with real estate companies, trust
attorneys and senior living communities to help seniors and families reach
their goals. For senior living communities, that means helping their potential
residents with all aspects of transitioning to their new home and helping them prepare
their existing home for sale. For trust attorneys, it means assisting with their
clients/families to efficiently meet their estate objectives. For real estate
agents, we help accelerate the process of preparing their client’s home for sale.
We are committed to building mutually beneficial referral partnerships
throughout our area.
Our
team is primarily focused on the eastern suburbs of the Twin Cities, including
cities such as; Woodbury, Maplewood, Oakdale, Stillwater, White Bear Lake,
Roseville, Shoreview, Arden Hills, Cottage Grove, Inver Grove Heights, Mendota
