If I had a dollar for every time someone asked me, “Now how exactly can I move for free.” I would have… ummm…. well… I would have a lot a money.

It is actually simpler than you might think.

All you have to do is…

  1. Find an apartment on moveforfree.com
  2. Visit the properties you found on the website and list moveforFREE.com as the referring source
  3. Once your lease is signed, schedule your FREE move

Now, you say well that’s all well and good, but I want to know how I can move without paying anything?

In simple terms….

The apartment properties pay us a commission for referring you, the renter, to their property. That commission covers the cost of the move. Thus in turn you get this really wickedly awesome deal where you will move for free!

It really is that easy! Now… what are you waiting for??? Move your mouse on over to moveforFREE.com! We also have a great FAQ page. Check it out if you have any other questions. And as always don’t hesitate to post a question or comment on our Facebook or Twitter. I will get back to ASAP!

(See how happy I was to be using Moveforfree when I moved last year!)

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.
