How to Find a Reputable Moving Company

When you are in the process of moving, you can
become overwhelmed quite easily.   Moving to a new home in a new neighborhood can be stressful.  You may have to find new schools for your kids, new doctors, and new  veterinarians if you have pets.   Then there is the process of meeting the neighbors!   It’s helpful if you can find ways to take the stress out of the actual  process of moving.

Once you hire a great moving company, you can  check that stressful item off of your list.  But for some, finding a reputable moving company can be daunting.   How do you know where to begin?   It’s helpful to know what to look for in a moving company and where you
can go for help.

Get Quotes

It’s important to get quotes from more than one  moving company so you can compare pricing. MovingRelocation.com is an excellent  choice for getting quotes from several area moving companies based on your  needs.  You simply visit the site,  answer a few questions and MovingRelocation.com will match you up with  experienced, pre-screened moving companies in your area that are licensed and  insured.  Your first step when planning your  move should be to contact MovingRelocation.com for a free quote.  That will alleviate the
time and frustration of having to make several calls  yourself.

Ask a Realtor

If you are working with a realtor, chances are she may be able to recommend a great moving company.  Ask  her for recommendations. If you are not working with a  realtor, you probably know at least one you can ask. If not, call a local real  estate agency and ask for
recommendations. When you are in the process of getting quotes, make sure you are
clear with your mover about your needs and your budget.   Carefully review the clauses regarding damages and what the moving  company will do if something is damaged inadvertently during the move.  Review the quotes to compare the  services provided by each of the moving companies. Some may include packing your  belongings and some may only move your packed belongings and furniture.   

What to do Next

Once the movers begin contacting you, ask them  questions before you sign any paperwork. Find out how long they have been in  business and you can even ask for references.  Quality moving companies will not balk  at having to provide great references (if they have them!). 
Check out the mover’s website and social media pages like Facebook or  Twitter.  See what other people  might be saying about the company.

Set up appointments for the movers to come out to  your house.  Do not take a quote
per cubic feet or some other arbitrary quote.  Make sure the moving company sees what
they are dealing with in person.   If they are not willing to come out to your home, move down your list to  the next mover.

Ask whether they will provide boxes for your move. Some companies  may provide boxes for you otherwise you have to go out and procure them on your  own.

Do your homework and spend ample time researching moving  companies before you sign on the dotted line. Finding reputable moving companies can  take time but it is worth it in the end.
