What to Expect From Your Chicago Relocation Consultation
Moving in or out of Chicago comes with unique considerations, which is why your relocation consultation is designed to be both thorough and convenient. This consultation allows our relocation specialists to understand the full scope of your move and create a detailed estimate tailored to your specific needs.
After you request a consultation, you may choose either a virtual or in-home appointment. A relocation specialist will follow up to confirm your preferred option. In some cases, factors such as property access, timing, or the complexity of the move may require the consultation to be conducted virtually or in person to ensure the most accurate assessment.
During the consultation, your specialist will review the items you plan to move through a guided visual review of your home. This process helps determine shipment size, packing needs, and any additional services that may be required, including storage, specialty item transport, or enhanced protection for delicate belongings.
In-Home Consultations
For in-home appointments, your relocation specialist will review each part of your residence — including closets, basements, garages, and storage areas — to gain a complete picture of your move. In Chicago homes and buildings, this may also involve evaluating stairways, elevators, parking availability, and building move policies. A thorough walkthrough helps avoid unexpected issues on moving day.
To prepare, consider sorting items you plan to donate, discard, or move separately, and share that information during your consultation.
Virtual Consultations
Virtual consultations are conducted through a secure video call and offer the same level of detail as an in-home visit. Using your phone or tablet, you’ll walk your specialist through your space in real time. This option is ideal for high-rise living, tight schedules, or when an in-person visit isn’t practical.
Once the consultation is complete, your relocation specialist will develop a personalized moving estimate aligned with your Chicago move, timeline, and service requirements — giving you a clear understanding of what to expect and how to move forward with confidence.
