What are Brokers?

Hey, it’s just me again… Your friend - local mover industry… Just trying to help save you from heartache and from a nightmare move.


What are brokers? They are what some Houston movers use that give you a quote – then they auction it off to the lowest bidder. That means that the professional Houston movers that you think is showing up is sometimes a man in a pick-up truck pulling a trailer… Sometimes it’s a horse trailer!

Listen up… That is not the way to move your furniture! Those trailers do not have the suspension that a moving truck has. These people usually don’t have the experience to complete a move. Your property is damaged, stolen, and sometimes made to look like it is not broken (this can be very dangerous when you have children)!!!

I’ve seen old rental moving trucks that have the original decals removed – then local movers spray paint Moving Co. and a phone number on the side of the truck with a can of spray paint. These local moving companies are not licensed and insured.

The problem with these Houston movers and with the Houston movers that brokers send out is simple… If they get hurt in your house or even on your property they can sue you! These local companies also use untrained day laborers that are in no hurry to get the job done… Why would they? They have no guaranteed job the next day! So on top of a extremely long move – you will also have items missing!
