Have you ever stopped to consider that the people who might know your community best are the ones helping people move within it? “Big box” types of house movers exist across the country, but just like shopping at the local farmer’s market rather than the huge supermarket chain—there are loads of benefits to supporting your local moving company. 

Local knowledge and expertise

Working with movers who were born and raised in your town gives them the insider knowledge that others may not have, including terrain, climate, housing types, and the specialised equipment to tackle what they know will come their way.

Cost-effective

That deep understanding that a local moving company has of the area translates to higher efficiency and no surprises. Those benefits become cost savings for you, the customer.

Low stress

The expertise and local knowledge is the gift that keeps on giving. By knowing exactly what they’re doing, your local moving company removes the stress from a potentially overwhelming situation like moving.

Neighbours helping neighbours

One way to get to know your new neighbours is by supporting your local community. A homegrown moving company is embedded in the fabric of the neighbourhoods—and not just through its services. These are people invested in helping their local communities by forging and maintaining strong connections.

Built on reputation

The same reason that local house movers are invested in their own community is the same reason that they need to stand by their reputation. Word of mouth can make or break a local business. Unlike a big chain, your satisfaction with the moving services means the world to a local mover.

More than moving services

A good moving company is also a good packing company. A local moving company can pack what you would do in a week in only a day. They’ll know exactly how things should be put away to accommodate the equipment the company uses and conditions that may occur during the move.

Moving storage service

By tapping into the local storage services available, you gain flexibility and creativity in a tight housing market. Need to store your things for a week between moves? Close a deal early? Short or long-term storage is the solution to negotiation in the housing market.
