Relocating to Charlotte NC? Congratulations on choosing such a vibrant, dynamic city to call home!

Of course, moving can be a bit of a headache unless you choose a great moving company. Don’t kid yourself – not all moving companies are created equal! If you want to ensure the safety of your belongings, it’s best to take a few precautions.

5 Tips for Choosing a Moving Company from Leigh Brown, the best Charlotte agent:

  1. Ask around. Check with people you trust to see which movers they recommend and – just as importantly – which movers they do not recommend. Listening to word-of-mouth referrals is your best tactic for finding a great mover.
  2. Meet in person. Be wary of any company that gives you a quote over the phone only, instead of coming over to actually inspect your home. The amount of stuff you have, the number of stairs, and the types of furniture can all affect your price, so a mover really should want to take a look at the job in person ahead of time.
  3. Inspect their operations. It might seem like a pain, but you should take a look at the company’s moving trucks if you can. If they appear to be in disrepair, you should think about choosing another company. Also be wary of a company that rents vehicles instead of owning their own.
  4. Contact the Better Business Bureau. Check for complaints that have been filed against any moving company you’re considering and whether those complaints have been resolved. Note that an A+ BBB rating is not a guarantee that you will get A+ service, but it’s a good start.
  5. Ask for references. Even if you’ve gotten a great referral from a friend, always ask a mover for references. It helps to talk to other people to get different perspectives. Also, if a moving company is not forthcoming with their references when you’ve asked for them, it’s a strong indicator that they may have something to hide.

Your belongings are valuable to you and relocating is a big job. Choosing a good moving company is one of the best ways you can ensure your relocation goes as seamlessly as possible.
