Our team has been working for years in commercial logistics, customer service and moving companies. I and my wife had a nomadic history. We lived, studied, and worked in several countries. We moved from one place to another with learning and working purposes. We personally have learned that short and long-distance moving can be a complex, grueling, and stressful challenge since we went through all these steps. However, we know that moving to a new place can induce positive changes in your life, namely it can bring new opportunities for work and education, it can help you to find new friends and set new goals that can help you grow.
We offer affordable prices, meticulous planning, prompt and amiable service to our customers, as well as well-trained movers you can lean on. We will succor you with all aspects of your moving: estimating, preparing, arranging, packing, collecting, transporting, and unpacking.

We were moving from our two-level condo to our townhouse two miles away. Valerii was responsive when I contacted about moving services. On moving day, two workers came right on time & were very professional. They moved all of our heavy boxes and furniture quickly & efficiently. They even disassembled our bed and dining table to be able to get it through the door. I appreciated that they took great care to not damage any items or the walls as they moved our things out of our condo/into our townhouse.
I will definitely use their services again, and I will recommend them to anyone in the area that needs to move!

I moved from DC to NOLA (about a 16 hour drive) and I was really worried about finding a quality mover as I’ve heard horror stories about long distance moving.
Do The Local Motion With Me was AMAZING. I couldn’t recommend. They were punctual, responsive, quick, and friendly. They broke down my furniture and put it back together with no issues.
Book them for your next move you won’t be disappointed. Thank you so much for making this move easy for me.

The movers arrived early and worked very quickly and efficiently! All of my fragile furniture and mattress were wrapped up and arrived safely. It was especially stress-free after I had injured myself the night before. Thank you!

So glad I found this company. The movers were on time, professional, *very* quick and did a great job. All of my furniture, tvs, boxes, etc were handled well and with care. The guys were friendly and professional. Great communication throughout. I hope I do not have to move again any time soon, but I am glad that if I do, I found a reliable and trustworthy moving company here. I recommend Do the Local Motion to anyone needing movers!

Very pleased I hired these guys for my move. I wasn’t quite ready when they arrived but they helped with whatever boxing and closing off boxes. On arrival, they had a system to meet my condition of not coming into the condo with shoes. Helped me assemble furniture. Thank you!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
The total cost of the short and long distance relocations depends on several factors:
1) the size of the move;
2) size of the crew;
3) pickup and delivery addresses;
4) inventory list;
5) presence of stairs;
6) special requsets :).
The total cost of moving = labor/hour (depending on the size of the move) + a moving fee * (may vary).
* Moving fees include truck, gas, mileage, moving services and moving equipment (furniture padding with thick moving blankets; shrink wrapping; furniture disassembly and reassembly; tools, floor dollies, and hand trucks).
Two hours is the minimum. There are no hidden fees.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
A new customer liaises with our coordinator, provides all details of a planning relocation, including all idiosyncrasies of the move (e.g. the accurate date, time, жick up and delivery addresses, the presence of heavy items on the inventory list, the total number of boxes, the size of the apartment/house and etc.). We compile this information in order to estimate the customer's move, calculate time, evaluate the process, and provide the most accurate quote.
Afterward, we schedule customer's moving day, send the confirmation, moving service agreement, provide a general liability insurance for the building if required.
One day before the move, we follow up with out customers to remind them about the date and time of their move.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
All movers are trained and have experience of working in several moving companies. They are not neophytes in this field.
Our family has degrees in management, economics, and public policy from Georgetown University and management certificates from the University of Maryland, and the University of Brunei Darussalam.
The owner is also a professional mechanic.
