How to Choose the Right Moving Company After You Buy a Home in Jasper
Moving is a big job – and for that reason, many people choose to hire a moving company. If you’ve decided that you want to hire movers, you know that you need to do your homework… but what, exactly, does that entail? This guide explains how you can find the right moving company after you buy a home in Jasper.

How to Choose the Right Moving Company After You Buy a Home in Jasper

First things first: You can always ask your real estate agent for a referral to a good, reputable local company. With that said, you can also ask friends and family, or search online to read about other people’s experiences with the companies you’re interested in.

From there:

  1. Get free moving quotes from at least three companies
  2. Watch out for warning signs (such as asking for cash deposits or unprofessional behavior)
  3. Check licensing and insurance
  4. Validate the company’s track record with the Better Business Bureau
  5. Verify the moving company’s address

Here’s a closer look at each.

Tip #1 for Hiring a Moving Company: Get Free Moving Quotes From at Least Three Companies

You might be tempted to just choose the first company you come across – but that’s a big mistake. Instead, take the time to get free moving quotes from at least three companies. This will give you a better idea of pricing, and it’ll also give you a chance to compare services.

Tip #2 for Hiring a Moving Company: Watch Out for Warning Signs

When you’re talking to moving companies, watch out for warning signs. For example, some companies will ask for a cash deposit – which is a red flag. Other warning signs include unprofessional behavior, such as being late or not showing up for appointments.

Tip #3 for Hiring a Moving Company: Check Licensing and Insurance

Before you hire a moving company, be sure to check their licensing and insurance. All reputable companies will have both of these things.

Tip #4 for Hiring a Moving Company: Validate the Company’s Track Record With the Better Business Bureau

You can learn a lot about a company by checking their track record with the Better Business Bureau. This organization keeps track of complaints and how they’re resolved.

Tip #5 for Hiring a Moving Company: Verify the Moving Company’s Address

When you’re talking to moving companies, be sure to verify their address. A legitimate company will have a physical business address – not just a P.O. Box or residential address.
