Get matched with top movers in your area

The cost to move a three-bedroom house ranges from $480 to $800. Of that, $200 to $400 is for the labor, while packing supplies, gas, tips, and trucking costs make up the rest of the price.

A moving broker is a third-party company that books your move and connects you with a high-rated moving company in your area. While moving brokers can help you secure a moving date without having to manage the logistics yourself, they aren’t liable for the transportation of your belongings or how they get to your destination. In most cases, it's a safer bet to work directly with a local moving company to coordinate your move.

There are many well-known moving companies, both locally and nationally. For a shorter move, talk to some local moving companies with good reviews and solid reputations. National chains, including PODS, Mayflower, Allied, United Van Lines, and Two Men and a Truck, may be good options for long-distance moves. If you’re hiring a national chain, remember that they may subcontract to local companies for shorter moves.
