2.Find a Trusted Adviser

Talk to local real estate agents or home improvement contractors and leasing offices who work with movers every day. They can offer a professional perspective.

3. Find experts in whatever you need to move

You don’t want just anyone transporting your precious baby grand. If you have speciality items, find a moving company with experts who know how to handle them properly. Usually companies will list this information on their website, but reviews are also a great place to look.

Always good to remember…

4. Don’t pay a Deposit

Legitimate movers should never ask for a deposit before moving your items.

5. Check the Physical Address

Check the website of the moving company and the phone book to ensure that they have a valid physical address in your area. Having a no address, or just listing a P.O. Box could be an indicator the business is not legitimate.

6. Verify an Active License

Look for a license information from the company’s website. All moving companies should have active operating authority and adequate insurance.

Whatever moving tips you read, always do a study on online presence, online reviews, social media profiles of the movers you would want to choose.
