Hesitant about getting an in-home moving estimate from your long-distance moving company? It's understandable that you want to be careful with health and safety these days, or you might have a tight schedule and have difficulty arranging an appointment with someone. But, in-person estimates do offer benefits that an online or AI moving quote can't provide.
Before you make the final decision, here are a few pros to getting an in-home quote:.
Better Understand Your Residential Movers' Intentions
When you meet with the representative of a residential moving company, you'll be able to get a better idea of the type of company you are working with and their intentions. Body language, word choice, and even the vehicles and clothing the reps wear can all hint at whether they are reliable.
Ask More In-Depth Questions & Receive Answers
Chatting with someone on the phone is a good way to learn more about their business services and set up appointments, but it can be hard to get really in-depth answers to questions.
Streamline the process of getting information by simply meeting with a representative in person. You can ask all the questions you have in mind about the moving process, packing, and storage. Plus, you can easily ask follow-up questions as they come to mind.
The Move Estimator Can See All of Your Belongings (Even Things You Might Overlook)
While video calls allow companies to provide moving estimates for customers without in-person visits, it is possible to miss things or have a hard time assessing the weight or age of something through the screen.
A professional in-home estimator will have experience checking all the areas of your home when making an assessment for the best accuracy. Estimators will look in closets, attics, the garage, and even storage sheds. They may also ask you if you have other property in offsite storage that you will be moving too.
Move Estimators Can Properly Assess the Weight of Belongings
It's also hard to determine the weight of an object during an online moving consultation. For instance, move estimators may physically need to check if an object is heavy by trying to lift it during an in-person assessment.
The estimator will also be better able to determine if a piece of furniture is solid wood or hollow, or if an object is made with stone or marble versus a lighter composite material. This is important information to gather as move estimates are based partly on the weight of the shipment. The more accurate the weight estimate, the more accurate your moving quote.
