Did use a part of relocation service
We used The Villages relocation service to find a realtor for my father-in-law’s move from Palm Harbor to The Villages. We hired college hunks to declutter, packed ourselves and hired a local high rated mover (hourly account only two hours).
When we moved from Michigan we hired a friend (top 2% realtor), and did get a discount on the commission. We were going to sell ourselves but glad we didn’t, it was a feeding frenzy, 26 showings in two days and eight offers. Our realtor referred a moving company or should I say a mover/estimator that was the district manager who knew what he was doing (and got a referral discount).
So if you know a realtor you want to use, do it. The key to finding a good mover is how good & honest the estimator is, one that won’t “cheat” on the weight to get the job. The driver of the moving truck is responsible for the extra weight costs so he can hold you hostage for the extra, even with a “binding cost contract”.
You can use all or part of The Villages relocation, get multiple quotes/interviews.
Happy trails, and remember that your journey ends in a happy place.
