We have had two good moving experiences; Motivated is a good option when you have a modest move in mind, and can do a bit of homework beforehand to schedule and prioritize what needs to be moved.
Our first crew had their own tools, which made moving a refrigerator simpler, but the second crew did not, which made things go a little slower, so if your moving job is likely to require some tools (screwdrivers, wrenches, etc) then make sure Motivated knows about that need.

My wife and I highly recommend Motivated Movers.
The team assigned to our move was excellent from start to finish. They called to let us know when they were on the way, and they never stopped working once they arrived. They wrapped all furniture, were careful with the stairs & hallways, and helped us with the leftover items towards the end. We were very pleased with their work ethic and attention to detail. Thank you taking care of our furniture and helping make the move to our new home!

I have used Motivated Movers twice after they were recommended to me by a friend and I have had a great experience both times.
Micah, Dylan, and Manny helped me move last week and they were an awesome crew. Customer service via phone for getting a quote and booking a move date was helpful and quick. The time and cost estimate I was given by the central office was very close to the reality on my move date. Communication with the moving crew was great, they made sure they knew what was going where and worked relentlessly to get my move done. I hope I don't have to move again any time soon, but the next time I do, I'm calling Motivated Movers.

Movers were right in time.
Reviewed what was to be moved and worked until completely loaded. Took caution to make sure everything was covered properly. Worked until job was complete. I have used Motivated Movers once before and had same satisfaction with their work. I highly recommend Motivated Movers to get complete smooth transition. Thanks

Will, Junior, Oscar, and Cornelius were the best movers ever!
They were fast and very careful. They placed the furniture exactly where I needed it. They carefully wrapped large furniture items and fragile furniture. Above all, they were very courteous. I highly recommend them.

Just wanted to take a minute to shout out to Oscar, Mel and Nick for the job handling our move.
I have recently witnessed another company move my sister and I must say that the crew from Motivated Movers stood head and shoulders above that company. I would recommend this crew again!

The workers for motivating movers , did an outstanding job with the whole moving process from start to finish.
The names of the gentleman that did that outstanding move are Manny, Angel and Hugo. I would definitely recommend using Motivaed Movers to anyone needing to be moved. I would also definitely recommend using Manny, Angel and Hugo if available. They were punctual, courteous, polite and very good workers and movers.

We used Motivated Movers to move us out of our home into a temporary apartment while we renovate.
The crew was great. Very careful with our things. Quick and efficient. We have some large items that required some precision to maneuver through the doorways in and out and they were great. Very pleased. Plan to use them again in 6-8 months when we move back into our place.

The guys showed up and did a fantastic job.
I never once was worried what type of people they were or what kind of job they would do. They came in and did a walk through of everything and then started working and working fast! I have never used movers before but the first impression was great.

They took our furniture assembled it and moved it to the appropriate room.
I would recommend Motivated Movers as they arrived on time, were courteous, never asked to use the restrooms, did not go into our refrigerator and worked to please the customer. They were great. I would recommend Motivated Movers to everyone.

We used this company for an 8.5 hour job today moving large bulky items-some more than 400lb, movie theatre chairs and furniture upstairs.
This was a very undesirable job for anyone! 3 young gentlemen showed up and we had to beg them multiple times to please drink water or stop long enough to eat a just slice of pizza. They were like machines! They wasted no time at all! They didn’t stop for a break or lunch and we’re so joyful to work. These gentlemen had phenomenal manners always using yes sir/ma’am. They had enduring work ethics that you very rarely see today! Also- the price was very competitive! When it was time to pay we weren’t surprised with a more expensive bill and we weren’t hassled over hidden fees! I’m a realtor and will be referring all of my clients to them!! We were located in Tanner Alabama And Bham people came to save the day!

This is the second time I’ve hired this company with local moves and both times have been great, with different guys doing the work on the two occasions.
Today it was Chris and Desmond and they were careful, kind, and patient. They really went the extra mile trying to (fruitlessly) get my dryer into my laundry space. It’s not their fault that they couldn’t make it fit, and they sincerely did their very best. Again - wonderful people. I can’t say enough!

They had great customer service when I called and when they moved me!! Manny, Omar, and Juan were my movers and did an AMAZING job!!! They had us moved in 4.5 hours when we were quoted 7!! They wasted no time and got everything safely moved! They even offered to help stay and set up anything or to move anything anywhere we wanted it!! Great job all the way around! Super easy and super cheap compared to the other places I called! Half the price of most!! GET MOTIVATED MOVERS!!!

Great experience!
Will, Alex, and Issac just left and I have to brag on them. I had them make two stops to pick up things on the way here for me and they got everything delivered and set back up in one piece safely and efficiently. They were a joy to work with and I highly recommend this company!
