Senior Moving Tips
- Start planning early: It is never too early to start planning for a move. Even if you do not have a moving date, you should start sorting your belongings and figuring out what you wish to bring to your new place, give to friends and family, and donate. Take the time to make plans and set aside time every day for preparation.
- Figure out what services you need: Every move is different, so you need to know if your mover can meet your needs. Some items require special equipment and training to complete. If you have large bulky items or require extra assistance like packing services, figure out if your mover has the expertise to meet your needs.
- Find the right moving company: Find out how long your mover has been in business; the most reliable movers stay in business by providing consistently good service over many years. Visit third party websites like the Better Business Bureau and Angie’s List to learn what real customers have to say.
- Don’t be afraid to ask for help: There is nothing wrong with asking for help. It is good to find a friend or family member to help you throughout the process. Your loved ones will be happy to provide support. Make sure you do not wait to the last minute, so they have time to make accommodations for helping you.

How Do I Know Which Movers are Trustworthy?
With how big the moving industry is, it can be pretty difficult to determine what is the best moving company for you. Here are some of the key things to look for when researching a moving company:
- Badges: Look to see if they have any certifications or if they are accredited by the BBB. These will also show you if they have won any recent “excellent-service” awards.
- Experience: It’s wise to avoid movers that are relatively new. Experience is key to a stress-free move. If you go on the company “about us” page, you will find their company history and other important facts about their moving processes.
- Reviews: Online reviews have become a top source for researching moving companies. Check specifically for customer feedback and company responses because you can get a good determination of how a moving company runs their business based on these review interactions. Avoid moving companies that have a 4-star or less average rating on their Google Reviews, there is most likely a reason why those ratings are not higher than other reputable moving companies.
- Family-Owned and Operated: This is always a big indicator to how you will be treated during your relocation. Not only will this help you avoid shady moving companies, but it will also help you avoid ones that are too big to truly care about your move.
The only way to know is to do expansive research. As you narrow down your list, look more and more into these aspects of the company to find the best one for you.
