What type of experience should be expected when white glove movers are involved?

There are so many things involved in any move that, to list them, is a big help. The person moving will be able to know what those are and can rely on the professionals to do what is planned out. Those tasks begin before the actual packing starts:

• The preparation of the moving plan includes what needs to happen and when it will happen. This lists everything from designing a floor plan to making sure all utilities are transferred and the house or apartment is cleaned up after the move out. They work with the owners to ensure the proper dates and times are noted.

• They will pack all furniture, clothing and breakables as well as everything else that is going to be moved. They label the boxes that many people seem to forget.

• During the move they will monitor everything from the transporting of the packed materials out of the home and into the truck. They will also ensure fragile things are handled properly. These movers take their charge very seriously.

• The personal consultant, assigned to each move, will accompany the logistics company assigned to the move. This assists in making sure the load is delivered promptly to the new home.

  
  The white glove movers personnel assigned to this move will unload the truck and this is where it really pays off for the new home or apartment owner.
   

• By personally escorting all moved items into the new location, they will ensure it is placed exactly where the owner wants it. The floor plan will be followed to ensure this.

• All appliances will be placed properly, plugged in and operationally checked. The same will happen with all electronics, such as televisions, home theater components, computers and cable or satellite connections.

• Clothing will be hung, placed in drawers or in closets according to the plan. Towels, wash cloths and everything including the dish washing liquid will be placed where it should go based on the plan designed by the owner.

By helping with any or all of the following, white glove movers will help ensure that the two words 'moving' and 'effortless' can go together again:

• Initial consultation with master plan, floor plans and schedules to be followed are created.

• Sorting, packing and labeling all containers.

• Meeting with the realtors on both sides of the move.

• Contacting rental unit companies, on either or both ends of the move for things to be stored.

• Cleaning, pulling trash and getting rid of things not being moved.

• Dealing with all of the utilities, services and deliveries as well as change of address cards.
