MoveMatch Pro is a personal moving concierge service. Instead of calling dozens of moving companies yourself, you work with one dedicated concierge — Justin Fogle — who compares guaranteed price quotes from 13+ trusted carriers and presents you with the best options. Think of it like Expedia for moving: one point of contact, multiple competitive quotes, and a personal advocate managing your move from start to finish.

MoveMatch Pro operates as a moving concierge service under Better for Less LLC. We are not a traditional moving broker — we don't just pass your info to random companies. Justin personally reviews every move request, selects the best-fit carriers from our vetted network, and negotiates guaranteed pricing on your behalf. We stay involved throughout your entire move to ensure everything goes smoothly.

MoveMatch Pro's concierge service is completely free to you. We are compensated by the carriers in our network, which means you get expert guidance, multiple guaranteed quotes, and a personal moving advocate at absolutely zero cost. There are no hidden fees or service charges.

We provide moving services across all 48 continental United States. Whether you're moving from California to New York, Texas to Florida, or anywhere in between, our carrier network covers the entire country. We also handle international moves to and from the United States, including ocean and air freight to destinations worldwide.

A guaranteed price quote (also called a binding quote) is a fixed, locked-in price for your move. Unlike a non-binding estimate — which can increase by 20-50% on moving day — a guaranteed quote means the price you're quoted is the price you pay, period. No surprises, no hidden charges, no bait-and-switch. This is one of the biggest advantages of working with MoveMatch Pro.

Getting a quote is simple: fill out our online form or call Justin directly at (818) 293-5017. We'll schedule either a free in-person walkthrough or a virtual video survey of your home. Based on the survey, we'll provide guaranteed price quotes from multiple carriers within 24 hours. You compare, choose the best one, and we handle the rest.

Long distance moving costs vary based on several factors: the weight/volume of your belongings, the distance, time of year, and any additional services (packing, storage, etc.). As a general range, a 1-bedroom apartment moving 1,000 miles typically costs $2,500-$5,000, while a 3-bedroom house can range from $5,000-$12,000+. The best way to get an accurate price is to schedule a free survey with MoveMatch Pro — we'll provide guaranteed quotes from multiple carriers so you can compare.

With MoveMatch Pro's guaranteed price quotes, what you see is what you pay. However, it's important to disclose everything during your survey. Additional charges can occur industry-wide for things like: long carry fees (if movers must walk more than 75 feet from the truck), stair carries, shuttle service (if a full-size truck can't access your location), or items not included in the original inventory. We make sure to discuss all potential scenarios upfront so there are no surprises.

A virtual survey is a video call where you walk through your home with your phone or tablet, showing the moving consultant everything that needs to be moved. It's just as accurate as an in-person survey and much more convenient — you can do it from anywhere, at any time that works for you. Justin will guide you through each room and make notes on all items, special requirements, and access considerations.

We recommend booking at least 4-6 weeks in advance for long distance moves, and 2-3 weeks for local moves. During peak season (May through September), booking 6-8 weeks ahead is ideal to secure the best rates and your preferred dates. However, we can often accommodate last-minute moves as well — just call Justin at (818) 293-5017 to discuss your timeline.

Both options are available. Full-service packing means the movers professionally pack everything in your home — from dishes and glassware to artwork and electronics. You can also choose partial packing (movers pack fragile items, you pack the rest) or self-pack (you handle all packing). Full-service packing is the safest option and is included in many of our carrier quotes. We'll discuss the best approach during your survey.

Delivery timelines depend on the distance. As a general guide: moves under 500 miles typically take 2-5 business days, 500-1,500 miles take 5-10 business days, and cross-country moves (1,500+ miles) take 7-14 business days. These are delivery windows — your belongings may arrive sooner. We provide specific delivery windows with each guaranteed quote so you can plan accordingly.

All carriers in our network provide basic valuation coverage (released value protection at $0.60 per pound per article) included in the move cost. For more comprehensive protection, full value protection is available — this means the carrier is responsible for the replacement value or repair of any damaged items. We strongly recommend full value protection and will discuss your options during the quoting process.

Auto shipping involves transporting your vehicle on a carrier truck (either open or enclosed) from your origin to your destination. You choose a pickup date, the carrier loads your vehicle, and it's delivered to your new location. Open transport is the most common and affordable option, while enclosed transport provides extra protection for luxury, classic, or high-value vehicles. Door-to-door service is standard.

Open transport uses an open-air carrier (the same type you see hauling new cars on highways). It's the most affordable option and perfectly safe for everyday vehicles. Enclosed transport uses a fully covered trailer that protects your vehicle from weather, road debris, and sun exposure. Enclosed is recommended for luxury cars, classic vehicles, exotic cars, or any vehicle worth over $50,000. Enclosed transport typically costs 30-50% more than open.

Yes, we can arrange transport for non-running vehicles. However, the vehicle must be able to roll, brake, and steer so it can be loaded onto the carrier. Non-running vehicles typically cost an additional $100-$200 due to the extra equipment and labor needed for loading. Let us know the vehicle's condition when requesting a quote so we can provide accurate pricing.

Yes, we coordinate international moves to and from the United States. Our international services include ocean freight (full container or shared container), air freight for time-sensitive shipments, customs clearance assistance, door-to-door delivery worldwide, and comprehensive insurance coverage. We work with experienced international carriers who handle all the logistics, paperwork, and regulations.

Required documents vary by destination country, but typically include: a valid passport, visa or work permit for your destination country, a detailed inventory list of all items being shipped, and customs declaration forms. Some countries require additional documentation like proof of residence, import permits for certain items, or certificates of origin. Our international moving partners will guide you through the specific requirements for your destination.

International move timelines depend on the destination and shipping method. Ocean freight to Europe typically takes 2-4 weeks, to Asia 3-5 weeks, to Australia 4-6 weeks, and to South America 2-4 weeks. Air freight is significantly faster (3-7 days to most destinations) but costs considerably more. Add 1-2 weeks for customs clearance at the destination. We provide detailed timelines with each international quote.

Professional movers cannot transport hazardous materials including: flammable liquids (gasoline, paint thinner, propane tanks), explosives (fireworks, ammunition), corrosives (acids, bleach in large quantities), perishable food, live plants (for interstate moves), and pets. Additionally, important documents, jewelry, medications, and irreplaceable personal items should be transported personally rather than with the movers.

Tipping is not required but is appreciated for good service. The industry standard is $20-$40 per mover for a local move, or $40-$80 per mover for a long distance move. If the crew went above and beyond — handling difficult stairs, working in extreme weather, or being especially careful with fragile items — a larger tip is a nice gesture. You can tip each mover individually in cash at the end of the move.

The cheapest time to move is during the off-season: October through April. Within those months, mid-month weekdays offer the lowest rates. Summer (June-August) is peak moving season with the highest prices and least availability. If you have flexibility, moving in January or February can save you 20-30% compared to a summer move. We'll help you find the best timing for your budget.

To prepare for moving day: declutter and donate/sell items you don't need, create a detailed inventory of valuables, disassemble large furniture (or arrange for movers to do it), disconnect and prepare appliances, clear pathways and reserve elevator access if applicable, set aside essentials you'll need immediately (toiletries, change of clothes, important documents), and label boxes clearly by room. If you've chosen full-service packing, the movers will handle most of this — just make sure pathways are clear.
