Home/Virtual Survey
A virtual survey allows you to get an accurate moving estimate by showing your household goods to a moving company representative via video call. This eliminates the need for an in-home visit while providing a more accurate estimate than a phone or online quote.
How Virtual Surveys Work
- Schedule: Book a virtual survey appointment with a carrier
- Connect: Join the video call using your smartphone or tablet
- Walk-Through: Show the representative each room and the items to be moved
- Inventory: The representative creates a detailed inventory based on what they see
- Estimate: Receive a written estimate based on the virtual survey
Benefits of Virtual Surveys
- More Accurate: Visual inspection provides better estimates than phone quotes
- Convenient: No need to schedule an in-home visit or take time off work
- Safe: No strangers entering your home
- Documented: Video surveys can be recorded for reference
- Fast: Typically completed in 30-45 minutes
Tips for a Successful Virtual Survey
- Make sure you have good lighting in each room
- Open closets, cabinets, and storage areas
- Don't forget garages, attics, and outdoor items
- Point out any items that require special handling
- Mention any access issues at your current or new home (stairs, elevators, narrow hallways)
- Ask questions about pricing and services during the survey
