With dozens of moving companies serving the Dallas–Fort Worth area, finding one you can truly trust requires more than a quick Google search. Unfortunately, moving scams and unreliable movers are real - and choosing the wrong company can mean damaged furniture, hidden fees, or worse. The Move Place has compiled this honest guide to help Dallas residents make the right choice.

Red Flags to Watch Out For

  • No physical address, license number, or TxDMV registration visible

  • Quotes given over the phone without seeing your home or items

  • Unusually low estimates that seem too good to be true

  • No written contract or binding estimate provided

  • Demand for a large cash deposit upfront

  • No verifiable reviews on Google, Yelp, or the BBB

What a Legitimate Moving Company Should Provide

  • A valid TxDMV number (The Move Place: #006480028C)

  • Proof of liability insurance and workers’ compensation coverage

  • A written estimate with itemized costs before moving day

  • Uniformed, professional crew members

  • Transparent pricing - no hidden fees for standard services
