TAA 2010

Written by Moveforfree on April 27, 2010 – 3:52 pm -

Dreams don’t become goals until you write them down.”  Wise words from Mr. 22 himself, NFL Hall of Famer, Emmitt Smith.  We were very lucky to hear him speak at the opening session for the TAA Education Conference and Expo last week.

This year’s TAA conference was held in good ol’ Houston at the Hilton of Americas and the George R. Brown Convention Center downtown.

Most of Thursday consisted getting ready for the Lone Star Expo that was held from 5- 7:30 PM.  We got our nifty badges and headed over to our booth to set it up.  We were super excited to have our brand new booth displays for this show.  And boy were they easy to set up.  Easy as 1- 2- 3 maybe?  Why yes… yes it was.

Testimonial Tuesday… college edition

Written by Moveforfree on April 6, 2010 – 2:36 pm -

So the end school year is approaching fast! With finals and all those extra projects due the stress level is at an all time high!

I remember those days of to do lists that never ended, all nighters studying, and those horrid dark circles under my eyes.  There were times when I would just rest my head on my desk while writing a paper and completely fall asleep.

But I couldn’t even imagine looking for a place to live at the same time.  Many students around this time decide to move out of their dorm rooms on campus and move into their own place off campus.  Apartment hunting is stressful enough without the added pressure of going to class, studying, projects and finals.

So, of course, I have the perfect solution for you.

MoveforFREE.com makes apartment hunting and MOVING a breeze!

Take it from someone who has actually been there.

~Luis S., San Antonio, TX

“Not originally from San Antonio, moving from place to place was hard when I didn’t know anyone. I came to San Antonio for college and remained on campus for the first three years. My last year I thought it more appropriate to move off campus while holding down employment. I was dreading moving day because I didn’t know many people with trucks, at least well enough to assist me moving from my dorm room to a new apartment.

It was then that I had heard about MoveForFree.com. I remember hearing an advertisement and not believing what I was hearing. I had ignored it at first and as the end of the year approached I became more stressed. All of this was unnecessary, but little did I know that MoveForFree.com would be the answers to my prayers.

I finally called, got information, and before I knew it, I was set up. I gave my qualifications of what I was looking for in an apartment and what area I was interested in and in less than a week I was given my choices, I selected, and a moving date was set. With most of my stuff packed and some furniture ready to be taken out, the process was amazing.

I kick myself now for making it harder than it should have been, and the few friends I had at the time with trucks were relieved that I didn’t need their help for this…I mean  how often do people with trucks get approached to help them move things.

MoveForFree was easy, stress-free, and convenient. I highly recommend them for your move from a college campus to an apartment or just from one apartment to another. Their customer service was on par with greatness, no confusion, and no run around.

Thanks a lot MoveForFree! You’re keeping San Antonio moving, one box at a time!”

The Adventures of MoveforFREE

Written by Moveforfree on April 2, 2010 – 10:32 am -

Someone once said, “Seeing is believing.”

This past weekend I had the opportunity to accompany a friend of mine during her moveforfree move.  The concept of having people move yourself for you is great in itself, but actually seeing it first hand was awesome!  And to top it off….

She didn’t have to pay for the truck…

She didn’t have to pay for the movers…

She didn’t have to pay for the gas for the truck, dolly, pads etc…

Jacob and Brian (the movers) had gorgeous day to move.  They were fast, very efficient, and true professionals and handled her possessions with the utmost care.

People always say that once they use movers, they will never move themselves again…. well when you can “moveforfree” why would you?

And now here is the first edition in MoveforFREE’s Moving Adventures!
