by | Jul 28, 2016 | Moving and Storage

No reasonable consumer would even think of buying a car without a great deal of thought and research, the same holds true for a new home. Why then would the same people not spend time choosing a moving company?

Getting the right moving company is important:
Picking the best moving companies in Scottsdale AZ is not the easiest thing to do, the industry is complex and to ensure that you choose the best companies for the move you have to make you are well advised to spend time researching them. There are moving companies that have a poor reputation, it is important that you avoid them.

Finding companies:
The internet has made things much easier but a personal recommendation is still best when it comes to movers. If you don’t have any friends or family members to turn to, your realtor will have had plenty of experience over the years. They can often introduce you to the better companies in the area.

Once you have a few names, call them. Never accept any offer over the phone, if they will not send a rep to your home, move on to the next company on your list. When the rep is in your home you can be assured of a comprehensive and accurate quote, you can also get a fair impression of the company. This is the time to find out how long they have been in business, ensure they do the work with their own people and how they rate with the Better Business Bureau.

The estimate:
Compare estimates; beware of a price that is way lower than other movers. If it looks too good to be true, chances are you will face additional charges when you really don’t have an option. Make sure the estimate is complete; it must include the destination, distance and any other services that you wish to purchase. At this time check to see if your insurance covers the move, if not request an insurance proposal from the moving companies in Scottsdale AZ that are on your short list.

Once you have settled on a company that is known for reliability, quality and service all that’s left is ensuring they are licensed to do business and insured.
