As a realtor, you do more than sell homes — you guide clients through one of life’s biggest transitions. From the first showing to the final closing, your value lies in being their trusted resource every step of the way. That’s where your partnership with a professional moving company truly shines.
Real estate and moving logistics go hand in hand. Positioning the move as part of the overall journey helps ensure a seamless experience for your clients. From decluttering and staging to inspections and photography, early planning reduces stress and creates a clear timeline from listing to closing — resulting in smoother transitions and happier clients.
Often, moving happens in phases. For example, when preparing a home for sale, movers can remove select items and place them in storage to help with staging. Ridgewood Moving offers full-service storage solutions conveniently located at our Mahwah facility, making it easy for realtors and homeowners to manage these transitional stages efficiently.
The Importance of Choosing Licensed Movers
Not all movers are created equal. In New Jersey, professional moving companies are regulated by the Division of Consumer Affairs, which requires:
Proper licensing and insurance coverage
Registered trucks and equipment with visible license numbers
Annual license renewals
A public tariff available for review
It’s estimated that fewer than 300 licensed movers operate in New Jersey — yet more than 600 unlicensed, rogue operators are active statewide. That’s why it’s critical to verify licensing and insurance before recommending or hiring a moving company.
By partnering with Ridgewood Moving, you ensure your clients are working with a fully licensed, insured, and reputable team that prioritizes professionalism and peace of mind.
Mobility Trends in New Jersey
It’s no secret that New Jersey continues to rank among the top outbound states in the nation. While high property taxes play a role, the leading reasons for relocation include retirement and moving closer to family.
A recent van line study revealed that for every 34 people moving into New Jersey, 100 are moving out.
As an interstate agent for Bekins Van Lines, Ridgewood Moving helps realtors and their clients with relocations across the country and even internationally.
