We are closing on our new home mid-June and I am looking for recommendations on reasonable moving companies. Also, who do you recommend for homeowners insurance? The good, the bad, and the ugly, its all appreciated.

I used UPack- a semi trailer that you pack and unpack yourself (with hired help if needed) and your contents are locked by you with your own locks behind a bulkhead. Around $500 for 3/4 of a 25 ft trailer from the midwest-1000 miles. My stuff was never taken off and reloaded or stored like the big national carriers do. Very nice company that didn't fuss when I changed my move date twice.
Agree that its best to downsize before you move, but selling all your furniture and hoping to buy new here can be risky-I just this week received a leather chair I ordered 6 months ago. That's a long time to sleep on a blow up mattress.
I went to the Villages insurance and they advised me the current best rates and we settled on Progressive for home, auto and golf cart. Maybe I could save a little shopping around, and maybe I'm lazy but I find it hard to read all the fine print in the policies.
Best of luck and welcome to The Villages!
