Moving Has Changed — Here’s Why That’s Good for You
The days of bribing your friends with pizza and beer to help you move are officially over. According to the 2025 Mayflower Finding Home Study, most Americans now see hiring professional movers as a smart investment in their health, safety, and sanity.
61% of respondents said they would hire movers for long-distance relocations, while nearly half cited heavy belongings or simply “reaching a certain age” as key motivators.
It’s Not About Boxes — It’s About Peace of Mind
Time and stress consistently ranked as the top reasons people hire professionals.
-
41% said convenience and time savings were worth the cost.
-
Many described the experience as a “marriage saver.”
-
Others admitted they’d rather invest in well-being than spend days lifting furniture.
With professional help, moves that used to take days now wrap up in hours — giving you back your weekend and your back muscles.
Health, Safety & Relationships Come First
Nearly one in four survey participants said they worry about someone getting injured while helping them move. And 22% said they felt too old to ask for help from friends or family.
It’s not just about lifting furniture — it’s about lifting the burden that comes with planning, packing, and transporting your life. Full-service movers like Molloy make it possible to move without strain or stress.
When Hiring Movers Makes Sense
The study identified the top life moments when it’s most worth hiring a reputable mover:
✅ Long-distance relocations
✅ Accumulating valuable or heavy belongings
✅ Experiencing health or mobility changes
✅ Starting a new job or career move
If you’ve ever struggled with a DIY move, you already know — professional moving is more than a luxury; it’s peace of mind.
