Default Local Moves

I usually get three bids, but when it came to selecting a local mover (ie from one village to another) I just called Village Mover. The owner is Mike Collop, and he is also former USMC. Mike is “squared away,” honest, fair and runs a very efficient business.

By way of example, he gave me a quote about six weeks ago with an in-person visit to our former home. But, my wife and I ended up moving a LOT of stuff on our own by shuttling back and forth. I explained that to Mike and he adjusted the price down by about a 1/3. My circumstances were somewhat unique, but it makes the point.

His crew did an excellent job … very careful and no breakage. Mike Collop, the Village Mover, works out of Fruitland Park, and his number is 352.751.2750.
