EPISODE 24 - REAL ESTATE IN CHANTILLY


If you are relocating to the Northern Virginia area, or making a local move, you may be looking for a moving company.

In this series on how to hire a good moving company we discuss what informed home sellers and buyers should know before they start looking for a moving service.

Consumers not doing "due diligence" in making this decision are taking a risk with their possessions and their money. But with a little homework you can discover who you do and do not want to use as your moving company.

In this first episode of the series we discuss characteristics of a very good moving service,  as well as the cautions and misconceptions to avoid if you decide to do the move on your own.

Chantilly and Northern Virginia area home owners who see a move upcoming, as well as anyone moving into the Northern Virginia area, will benefit from the honest and straightforward insigts of someone who is working inside the moving industry.

Don't miss the entire series!

This is such a difficult thing to achieve! The move into my current home was a nightmare! I hired a highly respected BIG NAME company for my move. I worked with them for weeks prior to the move to get organized and set for my move. I was the agent for both the sale and purchase of my new home and knew I would not have any trouble getting out on the day of closing and the contract was written as such. The B named company assured me they would be at my door at 7 am on moving day. Come 10:00 no where to be found. Call after call...by 2 p.m and me being a complete basket case still no where. This B named company assured me there would not be a problem, at the latest I would be moved would be by 6 pm. (contract called for 5) Friends had already begun moving the boxes and small stuff, and we waited, and waited, and waited. We started calling for moving trucks. NONE AVAILABLE on this Labor day weekend. Nothing within 75 miles! The B named company never showed up that day. After weeks of planning and research, BBB reviews....even the best laid plans.....

A great experience & a happy end result.

Pat, Stephanie,

Thanks for the comments.  Yes, that is one of the reasons we wanted to do this series.  There are many "horror stories" out there.

Best to you,

Kathy O'Neal
