Moving is a complex process, and the method of conducting a visual survey plays a crucial role in ensuring a smooth transition. At MyMoveMasters, our personal in-home visual surveys go beyond the conventional approach of merely counting boxes and furniture. It involves a comprehensive evaluation that considers the intricacies of your move. Our consultants not only provide detailed reports and estimates but also offer valuable insights, covering everything from the fragility of items to personalized time and money-saving suggestions tailored to your specific needs.


Engaging in an in-home visual survey is a pivotal step in the moving process, and it distinguishes MyMoveMasters from moving companies offering virtual surveys. While virtual surveys may seem convenient, they lack the depth and accuracy of an in-person assessment. Our in-home approach ensures accuracy and transparency in cost estimates, eliminating the risk of unforeseen expenses or scams. As your unbiased consultant, we are dedicated solely to what is best for you. Our consultants excel at making cost-cutting suggestions before you even start packing, ensuring an efficient and economical move tailored precisely to your requirements.


Moreover, opting for an in-home visual survey with MyMoveMasters provides a unique advantage. We streamline the process by sending one complete inventory list with instructions to as many moving companies as you want to receive bids from. This ensures an apples-to-apples comparison, eliminating the variance between bids that often occurs with virtual surveys. In-person assessments allow for a standardized evaluation, providing you with accurate and comparable estimates from different moving companies.


Additionally, in-home visual surveys offer numerous benefits, not just for the customer but also for the moving company. They provide an inventory list, more accurate cost estimates, and lay out the contents expected to be packed. They help identify fragile, special, and high-value items and determine choices for valuation coverage, protecting against moving scams. An in-home visual survey will assess the size and weight of household goods, address packing needs, and calculate a more accurate or guaranteed quote. In-person surveys also assist in assessing fragile and valuable items, allowing for specialized moving services and offering valuable insights for insurance or valuation choices.
