Getting an accurate moving quote is essential for a smooth and stress-free relocation. At Top Team Movers, we strive to provide transparent and reliable estimates, ensuring you know what to expect before moving day. To help us give you the best possible quote, here’s what we need from you.
Key Information for an Accurate Quote
1. Pickup & Drop-Off Addresses
The location of your current home and your destination plays a big role in determining the time and logistics of your move. If your new home is across town or further, we factor in the travel time, fuel, and any potential trip charges for longer distances.
2. Stairs or Elevators Involved
Moving in and out of multi-story homes or apartment buildings can affect the time and effort required. If there are stairs or elevators, we need to plan for the appropriate equipment and manpower to complete your move efficiently.
3. Inventory List
A detailed list of items to be moved helps us estimate the number of movers needed, truck space, and the time required. Large furniture, appliances, specialty items like pianos or aquariums, and the total number of boxes all play a role in determining your moving cost.
4. Video Walkthrough (Highly Recommended)
A short video walkthrough of your home gives us a clear understanding of your move’s scope. This allows us to see the layout, furniture size, and any potential challenges in advance, helping us provide a more precise estimate.
5. Online Listing Photos (If Available)
If your home was recently listed for sale or rent, online photos can provide additional insight into your space and belongings. This helps us assess what needs to be moved without requiring an immediate in-person visit.
6. In-Person Site Survey for Larger Moves
For moves involving 3+ bedroom homes, we highly recommend scheduling an on-site survey. This allows our team to evaluate everything firsthand, discuss your specific needs, and create a customized moving plan to ensure a smooth transition.
Why Accurate Quotes Matter
Providing these details upfront helps prevent unexpected costs or delays on moving day. It allows us to:
✅ Plan for the right number of movers and trucks
✅ Ensure the necessary equipment is available
✅ Offer an accurate estimate with no hidden surprises
