Long Distance Move
We just retired, sold our house in Fremont and are getting ready to move to a new home in Las Vegas. We used NorthStar for our previous move, were happy with their service then and called them again to help us move to Nevada. I spoke with Stefy Nudel, who was very helpful, and set up an appointment for an on site estimate at our house for later in the week.
Project Manager Michael Pomeroy came out to our house on time and compiled an inventory of our items on his computer. He let us know that he would have an estimate on the cost of our move either later in the day or the next day, which worked for me.
Michael also answered all of my questions about our long distance move, which gave me great confidence that NorthStar would again make our move go smoothly.
While I haven’t written many Yelp reviews as yet, since retiring, I’ve decided to document the services we’ve received on our home sale and purchase, and related activities. Stay tuned.
Special shoutout to Eduardo C, Ricardo C and Jr 🙂 you guys rock!
The friendly agent on the phone mentioned that they had to schedule an estimator to come to my place to assess how much the entire move was going to be, so we settled on a date and had them come in. The estimator was a cool guy, very patient with every question me and my girlfriend had, and gave us as much information as he can even AFTER he had left after several communications via email.
Then, the actual move came. The company asks you to have half of your estimated fee for the movers and they almost arrived earlier than I had anticipated – which was not a bad thing! At the time, I needed to begin my 15 or so hour drive to become a future Northwesterner and ensuring that all my things packed were something I was certainly going to be very important to me that day. As it turned out, the lowest estimate of 4 hours (for packing and moving my stuff out of the apartment) was super accurate and they were in and out of there by lunch time.
Now, I should add that they estimate 2 days to 2 weeks, depending on how much freight they can group together and get to the same place and, on that note, I got the full 2 weeks. They, however, contacted me 24 hours prior to their drop off (as stated plenty of times during this process by a few people) and the following day, my things arrived in good condition with nothing missing! I had read a few people’s concerns, including a colleague of mine who used them to move as well, but all my things were completely intact.
Simply put, the entire experience was really smooth and fast and I’d recommend them to anyone doing long distance moves – or even short ones, at that!
