I always offer to do what we can, but no one has ever accepted.  Most of our buyers are military, and their household goods are delivered to their door and moved right into the home!

Hi Lawrence "Larry" & Sheila Agranoff. Call 631-805-4400 (c) 

I have helped get boxes and pack them up. I have also helped clients to find a local mover with good prices and results. I have not actually helped move their stuff from one house to another but maybe in the future. I am always there if needed but cannot lift heavy boxes.

yes. 2x. It was because Fannie Mae closed up shop at 5pm on a Friday and didnt get the memo the transaction funded and the buyers didnt get the key til the following monday. So they no longer had moving help so my husband and I moved them in! 

The other time was due to delay in closing as well. So we moved them in. LOL

Yes, but only once. When I was in the real estate business, I was involved with a transaction that involved the sale of 6 homes, I was involved with 4 of them. I was not willing to take any chances.

No that is one thing I have never done. I have sent over a cleaning team, when the sellers moved out of state and left the home dirty and I have sent over a yard guy to cut overgrown grass. These gestures were always appreciated and I listed their home when the sold that one and the moved up.

While I may point them to resources to make their move easier, I've never been involved in the actual moving. There's too much liability, and because it's outside the scope of the transaction there is also no insurance.
