How To Find A Good Professional Mover

By Maria Valenzuela


Moving is ranked as the third most stressful event in life, according to the Employee Relocation Council following death of a loved one and divorce. With 8,000 different moving companies in the country, finding the right one can add worry to the already stressful process of moving. And regardless of which moving company you want to choose to move you to your dream home in Stafford VA Homes and how much you pay, their job is basically the same - pack and deliver your stuff from your old home to the new one safely and securely.

The thousands of moving companies available for all moving homeowners is another source of stress so the question is, how do you know which is the best and the most qualified professional mover? It is good to hire only the best professional mover to take care of the packing and the unpacking. Here's a quick guide on finding the right professional mover:

1. Ask your Real Estate Agent which moving companies he or she knows better. Your agent will suggest 5 to 10 moving companies whom he trusts. Start with these options then a free moving quote from these options these options.

2. Lower your options to 3-5 moving companies after you have received and reviewed the free-moving quotes from these companies. Then schedule an in-home appointment to the remaining movers in your list. The appointment will give you an opportunity to interview the movers and also to let them see the size of the move so they can they give you an accurate moving cost.

3. Ask the company some questions regarding their business like how long they have been professional movers, if they subcontract their work, if they have proper DOT license and insurance and if they can give you copy of "Your Rights and Responsibilities When You Move" during the interview. Moreover, ask about the extent of the mover's responsibility in the event if any of your stuff or household items were damaged.

4. Read the companies' consumer complaints and know their licensing requirements if there are any. This will tell you the flaws of the company as well as the problems they have faced with their previous clients. You can refer to SaferSys.org and BBB or Better Business Bureau to know all about the moving companies' license, consumer complaints as well as other references.

Don't let the stress of moving destroy your excitement the moment you have bought a new home from the Real Estate Salt Lake. Select a company you feel comfortable with and that you believe will provide the best moving service among the thousands of remaining options. Be sure never to pay cash or make large deposit before the big move.
