Moving must be one of the most physically, emotionally and financially taxing experiences there is, and if you are not careful the ordeal can become more stressful than it has to be. Hiring the right New York residential company can definitely ease the burden considerably so here are some tips on how to find one:

• Before surfing the Internet for New York residential moving and delivery services in Vancouver BC, try leafing through a good old fashioned phonebook first. While there are many reputable companies online, it is unfortunate that there are many scams as well.

• Call your local real estate agents and find at least three moving companies with offices in your area. Choose New York residential moving and delivery services in Vancouver BC that have been in business for at least ten years.

• Have representatives from these companies inspect your home for an estimate. Have your least favorite company come on over first and then work your way up to the company you’re most likely to hire. In any case, never waste your time with companies that do not do in-home estimates.

• Go for a New York residential company that provides the moving services themselves and does not sub-contract the job out.

• Visit your prospects’ offices and check out their trucks and storage facilities. Make sure their trucks are permanently marked with the company’s name. If not, they are most likely a fly-by-night affair.

• As each New York residential moving and delivery services in Vancouver BC quotes you their in-home estimate, place the paperwork somewhere the next company can see it. Upon noticing the paperwork, the company might try to top the previous company’s offer.
