About LocalMovers.com
LocalMovers.com is an online moving marketplace that connects consumers with vetted local and long-distance movers across all 50 U.S. states. We are the only service that calls 5-10 licensed movers on your behalf to negotiate guaranteed fixed-price quotes, at no cost to you.
Founded in 2022 in New York City by David Petersen and Bretton Auerbach, LocalMovers.com was created to solve a simple but frustrating problem: review sites weren't helping people choose movers. With nearly 95% of companies rated between 4.5 and 4.9 stars, the ratings weren't meaningful. To solve this, we decided to conduct original research to clearly show which moving companies truly stand out.
Mission
To simplify the moving experience by connecting people with verified professionals, offering fixed prices, and managing every step with transparency and care.
Vision
To become the most trusted and efficient moving marketplace, where every relocation starts and ends with confidence.
The Problem We Solve
Industry best practices recommend getting at least three quotes to avoid unfair pricing and scam movers. The need to repeatedly provide move details—building access, room-by-room inventory, packing requirements—to each mover is a significant time burden. Even if customers complete thorough inventories and create a shortlist, they are not equipped to estimate the market's best price or negotiate with movers.
LocalMovers.com eliminates this time-wasting problem. Users input their specifications once, get matched to vetted providers, and receive accurate, comparable quotes. This also ensures transparent price discovery. We turn a process that used to take 15 hours into one that takes 15 minutes.

Leadership
Bretton Auerbach, CEO
"We set out to build a consumer guide, but as traffic grew, customers asked us to help them move. Today's launch reflects that shift—LocalMovers.com provides a straightforward booking experience founded on years of data and research."
David Petersen, Co-founder and Chairman
Co-founder of BuildZoom, Flexport, ImportGenius, and Assisted Living Magazine
"After growing BuildZoom into a marketplace founded on billions of construction data points, I recognized the same opportunity in moving. LocalMovers.com applies the same playbook: use data transparency to build trust, and digitize and automate the vendor negotiation and bid-gathering process."
