Summer is the peak moving season. It's also when scammers come out in full force.

We sat down with California's Chief Enforcement Officer, two veteran moving company owners, and BBB leadership to break down everything you need to know before hiring a mover.

What you'll learn in this video:
How to verify if a mover is actually licensed.
Red flags like lowball estimates, cash-only demands, and last-minute surcharges.
What to do if your stuff ends up held hostage.
And how BBB Accreditation gives you peace of mind before anything is loaded on the truck.

Don't risk it. Watch the full Smooth Moves Symposium before you book your move.
