Finding a Great Mover

1. Only hire the best- If you choose to hire professional movers, do your research and hire good ones. Poor quality movers really can be worse than none at all.

2. Referrals- Get referrals from local real estate agents and friends who have moved recently.

3. Licensing- Only consider movers that are licensed, bonded and insured.

4. Research- Investigate your potential movers through the U.S. Department of Transportation, MovingScam-dot-com and the Better Business Bureau.

5. In-home estimates- Evaluate a minimum of 3 movers based on in-home estimates of goods to be moved.

6. Price- Price isn't the only factor- extremely low bids indicate a desperate mover.

7. "Binding Not-To-Exceed"- Ask for written "Binding Not-To-Exceed" estimates

8. Avoid "rogue movers"- if you feel uncomfortable, trust your instincts! Never agree to move your possessions with anyone you don’t trust.
