Choosing a Mover

Before a Move by THOR

Atlas Van Lines is Royal LePage’s preferred mover and has been partnering with my brokerage since 1995. My clients can take advantage of Atlas Van Lines exclusive “the right move” program which is monitored by Atlas Van Lines’ corporate services department to ensure the highest standards of quality. If anything goes wrong, Atlas will make it right. They’re best used for larger moves – condo dwellers and downsizers might want to consider hiring a smaller company or enlisting the help of friends and a U-Haul!

To help get you started, Atlas will meet with you for an in-home interview. This survey, scheduled at your convenience, generally takes about an hour. Your consultant will:

• Estimate the weight of your shipment and help you calculate any moving charges for long distance moves
• Estimate your packing requirements and identify any special items and items that cannot be safely moved
• Discuss service needs, such as appliance servicing, crating, and shuttle service
• Review the logistics of the move, including access to the residence and arranging elevator time for high-rises
• Explain the moving process and discuss any personal requirements you might have like disassembling of items and unpacking at your destination
• Offer suggestions and options to meet your requirements and budget including full replacement protection

Be sure to show your moving consultant everything that has to be moved – don’t forget all the stuff that can be hiding in storage sheds, attics, basements, garages, and items stored at other locations!
