Moving Alberta with local moving companies

Alberta is a great place to live. Before you Moving Alberta, there are things you need to consider and steps to take to ensure that the move is successful.

Some things to think about.

 

  • Find out how to work in your field in Alberta.
  • Do you work in a regulated occupation or trade? You may need to take examinations or get licensed or accredited.

  • Will you or a family member need access to education?
  • You will need to find out which schools and institutions offer the training or program you need.

How Much Do Movers in Alberta Cost

The cost of moving in Alberta depends on several factors, with distance being the key. A move between provinces will cost more than a local move within the same city or nearby area.

On average, the cost of moving based on the distance between locations is:

  • from $900 — up to 1,000 km;
  • from $1,900 — up to 2,000 km;
  • from $2,900 — up to 3,000 km;
  • from $3,900 — up to 4,000 km;
  • from $4,900 — up to 5,000 km.

The final price is also calculated  by the size of the home and the number of rooms. For instance, moving from a two-bedroom apartment typically costs around $2,600–$2,800, while a three-bedroom house move ranges from $3,800–$4,800.

To get an exact quote, contact Real Estate Movers. We’ll calculate the cost of your residential or corporate move, considering all factors — distance, volume of items, packing material usage and any additional services required. This ensures that you won’t face unexpected expenses.

If you need a quick price estimate  use the calculator on our website. We are committed to providing our customers with the best possible service.

Alberta Movers: 4 Key Factors for Choosing Your Relocation Partner

Alberta is one of the most beautiful and livable provinces in Canada. If you’re planning to move to Alberta, using the services of a moving company will significantly simplify and speed up the process. When choosing a mover, consider the following factors:

  • Range of services. Specialized companies take care of all aspects of the move — packing, furniture disassembly, loading and unloading and unpacking.
  • Free estimate. To give you an idea of the cost, a moving company should provide a preliminary assessment. It’s very convenient if the company’s website has a calculator that allows you to get an estimate in just a minute.
  • Resource availability. The company should have its own fleet of specially equipped trucks. Long-distance moves require more resources than local ones.
  • Tracking the process. Movers should provide real-time updates on your move or offer a tracking option on their website.

Real Estate Movers meets all these requirements. We can assist with local moves or long-distance relocations. We have everything needed — high-quality packing materials and trucks equipped with the necessary straps to secure furniture and appliances. Our experienced professionals guarantee the careful handling of your belongings. You can trust us with the transport of fragile and valuable items such as family heirlooms, antiques and decorative pieces.

Our company’s reputation and the high quality of our services are reflected in our BBB rating (A+) and numerous positive Google reviews, not to mention we are HomeStars winner 7 years in a row. We know exactly how to make your move smooth and stress-free.

Some things to do before calling the Alberta movers

List of things you need to pack before calling movers in Alberta:

  • Gather important documents.
  • Important documents include:
    • birth certificate
    • school/university transcripts
    • driver’s license
    • vehicle registration
    • personal and legal documents such as wills and medical records
  • Gather work reference letters.
  • Gather landlord reference letters.
  • Prepare to get health insurance.

You will need to get a new provincial health card. Gather your medical and immunization records, and get copies of any prescriptions.

How to Plan Your Move to Alberta?

To minimize unforeseen situations during your move, we recommend following this step-by-step guide:

  1. Create a Plan: Make a to-do list of all the tasks you need to accomplish, such as purchasing packing materials, selling items you won’t need in your new home, and other related tasks. To save time, leave the packing to the Real Estate Movers team. We ensure the reliable protection of even the most delicate and valuable items, such as family heirlooms and artwork.
  2. Contact a Moving Company in Alberta: To use the services of Real Estate Movers — one of Alberta’s most reliable and responsible movers — call the number listed on our website or submit an online request. Once we finalize the details of the move, we will provide a commercial offer and begin organizing your relocation.
  3. Label Your Packages: To make settling into your new home easier, be sure to label all your boxes. You can do this yourself, or leave it to our professional packers.
  4. Unpacking Assistance: Upon arrival at your new place, you’ll face the task of unpacking many items. To save time and effort, let the Real Estate Movers specialists handle it. We’ll carefully remove all packing materials and help place your belongings exactly as you need them.

We had an excellent experience with this moving company! The crew was fantastic—professional, hardworking, and friendly throughout the entire process. They went above and beyond by disassembling and reassembling our beds and dining tables with great care. They even moved our treadmill and set it up in the exact spot we wanted, ready for use. The team made sure every piece of furniture was placed exactly where we wanted it, and they were both fast and efficient. They also wrapped all our items securely, ensuring everything arrived in perfect condition. We were happy with their attention to detail, politeness, and overall dedication. We highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a reliable, hardworking moving team!"

Victor and his crew did an amazing job moving my husband and I from a 2 bedroom condo + storage in Vancouver BC to Airdrie AB this past weekend!

It all started with great communication (both phone and email) and customer service from start - he updated or checked in with me every couple of hours on how the move was going, where his driver and our stuff was, even prior to our move when the crew got stuck in the ferry line-up from a job on Vancouver Island before us. The crew themselves were nice, cheerful, and efficient, despite the snow we had in both cities and having to stop by our storage unit in the middle of our move.

I highly recommend Real Estate Movers to anyone considering a long distance move from BC to AB (and I know there are many out there!) or local moves within Calgary and will definitely use them for future moves.

Fantastic moving experience! We highly recommend Victor and his team at Real Estate Movers. We just moved from Okotoks, AB to Victoria, BC with Real Estate Movers. From first meeting Victor to get a quote to, packing our belongs, and delivery at our destination, everything was perfect. No damage to our home, not a single broken item, fair, competitive pricing with no surprises. We’ve moved with other well known moving companies and the experience was no where close. If you’re looking for a professional moving company with an excellent, polite and experienced team, look no further.

Had a great experience with Real Estate Movers! Victor and his team member were on time, communicated well, and handled everything with care. They moved two storage units of furniture and belongings to my new home and got everything done quickly while still being careful. I really appreciated that they placed items exactly where I wanted. Highly recommend!

Our recent move from Calgary to Nelson could not have gone better. We highly recommend Victor and his team.
Victor was always a pleasure to deal with, he responds in a very timely manner with any questions we had during the process.
His crew was prompt, friendly, hard working and efficient.
We are so pleased we chose Real Estate Movers and would use them again for any future moves.
Thank you

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Amazing Moving Experience!

I recently hired Real Estate Movers for my big move, and I can honestly say they exceeded all of my expectations. From the moment I called for a quote, their customer service was exceptional—friendly, professional, and so knowledgeable. They took the time to answer all my questions and walked me through the whole process.

On moving day, the crew arrived right on time, and I was blown away by how efficient and careful they were with my belongings. They treated every single item with the utmost care—nothing was scratched or damaged, and they even took extra precautions to wrap up fragile items. It felt like they were moving their own stuff, not just mine!

They worked seamlessly as a team, and their speed and organization were truly impressive. They made sure to get everything into my new home quickly, and even helped with some furniture arrangement to make sure everything looked perfect in my new place.

Not only were they professional, but they were also so personable and friendly. Moving can be a stressful experience, but their positive attitude and great sense of humor really helped lighten the mood.

I can’t recommend Real Estate Movers enough! If you're looking for a reliable, efficient, and all-around great moving company, look no further. They turned a potentially stressful day into a smooth, hassle-free experience. Worth every penny!

Based on their good reviews we decided to give The Real Estate Movers a try for our local move in Calgary in late October, 2024 but our experience with them was totally disappointing, and would not recommend them.

Victor helped me move my belongings from Windsor ON to Calgary AB. I would like to call him a one man army. The man came alone and moved a 2 bedroom house in 7 hours!!
He is amazingly professional and very good in what he does.
I would definitely recommend Victor (real estate movers) for all your moving needs.

Real Estate movers moved my all my house items from Calgary to Grande Prairie on Oct 29th. The guys did an awesome job loading everything carefully onto the truck. All my furniture was covered with moving blankets. Mattresses were put into bags to protect them. Everything arrived the next day complete & nothing broke. Thank you for a stress free move!!! The price was lower than all the other quotes I got.

I can't say enough good things about Victor and his team at Real Estate Movers! Moving from Calgary to the Shuswap felt like a huge undertaking, but these guys made it a breeze. They showed up right on time, and you could just tell they knew what they were doing. They handled everything with so much care, making sure all my stuff was packed up safe and sound for the long drive. Victor was super friendly and kept me in the loop the whole time, which really put me at ease. If you're looking for movers who actually care and make the whole process easy, Real Estate Movers is the way to go. Huge thanks to Victor and his crew!

Best move I have ever experienced! I would highly recommend Real Estate Movers. For this move we packed the boxes and they moved everything from one NW Calgary to another NW Calgary location.

1) Communication prior to the move was excellent. Victor visited the house about a week before the move to view the contents - thus he was able to provide a good estimate and know how many guys to put on the job.
2) The actual move was top notch. 3 men carefully wrapped each piece of furniture and moved it into the truck with no scapes or dings in the walls or goods! It was a hot day and they worked methodically and efficiently.
3) At the destination the movers carefully delivered the boxes and furniture to the rooms clearly labeled on the items again without any damage to walls or floors.

The 3 movers were all delightful people; excellent communicators and friendly and polite.

Great company from start to finish.

Victor and his team are fantastic! They are a great group with positive attitudes. The team arrives on time!

They packed up my 5 bedroom house, stored our belongings for 6 weeks and then I got the same team to unload!!! No damage to any of the furniture which included antiques and no damage to either house!

Victor was the only company that had the option of allowing our contents to stay in the 48' trailer to avoid a double move. His prices are very reasonable.

I highly recommend Real Estate movers.

We used Real Estate Movers this weekend to move within Calgary. The team were excellent, hard working and efficient. My initial query was answered quickly and Victor was responsive to all my questions. We had some heavy pieces and moved into a townhouse with lots of stairs, the team powered through it all. Everything was carefully wrapped, with no damage to the items or the walls / floors in both houses. Thanks so much for making our move much less stressful! Would definitely recommend using them.

Fantastic, highly highly recommend. We did a long distance move from Alberta to Quebec ; Victor and his team provided excellent service and care of our belongings at a good price point. I had originally booked a POD with PODS but they don’t provide proper insurance for your belongings during transport and their price was very high considering you have to book separate labour at each end.
I got a few quotes from accredited full service movers, prices were very high and they try to charge you for the weight of your items so you could end up with an actual bill that is much higher than the quote.
Victor provided an invoice that matched the quote exactly. It was not by weight.
Victor and his team very carefully protected all our furniture and items to prevent any damage.
Additionally it was the same crew that delivered our belongings in Quebec as did the packing. So there was no “sub contracting” at the destination which is fantastic.
Also note that many full service movers are not accredited with the BBB (better business bureau) and Canadian Association of movers). Real Estate movers are accredited with both.
Another excellent resource for home services is “Homestars”. Extremely reliable rating service.

This is a great moving company! They packed and moved my entire 2 bedroom condo from Calgary AB to Burnaby BC. They were very careful and efficient and truly helped to make my moving experience as painless as possible. They even moved all my 42 outdoor planters, some of which had to come on a second load and they didn’t charge me extra. The guys were very pleasant to deal with and made sure everything was completed to my satisfaction! I would use them again and recommend them highly!

I have used their service twice. We had a content of 4 bedroom house plus very heavy piece of equipment moved into the storage in 2021 and then out of storage into the new house in 2023. Nothing was damaged, all furniture was very well protected (not a scratch) and service was fast and efficient. The price was also very competitive. Highly recommended.

I was recommended by a friend, and now I will be recommending others as well! My move was easy to book and communication was quick. An estimate was provided via pictures only (my preference). Movers showed up on moving day and were professional, very efficient and hard workers! Overall a great experience.

We had an ok move experience with Real Estate Movers. They did leave behind our garden hose in the back yard.

Also, the packers reused boxes and a lot of labelling wasn’t very good with items not packed well. The move in was slow because the truck wasn’t loaded logically in order of room.

That being said. The driver and unloader worked without breaks to get things in and assembled and were happy to get things done for us with no hassle.

They offered to pickup the left behind items and deliver them to us at no charge. Stand up guys, thank you.

Victor and his team did a really good job with our long distance move (with packing service) from Calgary to Vancouver. Given all the controversy in the news about moving company scams, my partner and I were pretty worried about using a moving company. We did a ton of research to find these guys, and Victor left a good first impression with us.

Not only did they deliver, they packed everything with care. All our belongings arrived intact, undamaged, and on time. Most importantly, the cost was AS INITIALLY QUOTED. Victor was very responsive throughout the move. He inspected our belongings in person to make the estimate. His team packed and handled our belongings with great care and efficiency. More fragile items were cushioned with blankets.

We had a time limit on our condo elevator booking, and his team finished loading the truck with lots of time to spare. The unloading team was just as proficient.

We will be recommending all our friends use Real Estate Movers from now on. Thank you Victor!

Victor was the only moving company that asked for pictures of everything that was to be moved. Every other company just guesstimated. He also assured me that they don’t go by weight but volume. He guaranteed his quote. His crew was great! Hard working bunch of men.
He was on time for pickup and drop off. Nothing broken or scratched. Highly recommended. 5 stars.
