Steer clear of this business. Owner, big on sales pitch and guaranteed seamless process to manage liquidation. They lost several items, failed to provide donation receipts, made excuses for poor performance in inventory management and time to auction.

The team from A First-Class Move helped family friends downsize from two different condos and transition to an assisted living facility. Beckyanne, Brenda and the team were a joy to work with as they provided photographs and recommendations for furniture placement in the new location. They had quite a task as they had to coordinate the move from two different locations to a single location, all on the same day and within the restrictions imposed by the assisted living facility during COVID. Their rates were extremely fair and the value, service and white glove treatment was exceptional. We would highly recommend this group to handle a turn-key downsize and move project. Thank you A First Class Move!

From the fist meeting, through every aspect I met only professionalism, courtesy and care. I cannot recommend them too highly. Every aspect of this business IS first class!

Downsizing from a house where you raised your family and lived for forty years is not easy, but they made it smoother than I expected. First, there were visits where I said what I wanted to keep. They measured the furniture and helped me map out the new apartment. On moving day they packed items quickly and professionally. The even managed to move some decades-old flimsy Ikea cabinets and my delicate cactus houseplants with no damage. They then set up my new apartment and by evening I could walk in and live there. I found that having my old furniture and pictures on the wall (which they hung) lessened the shock.

Beckyanne and the entire AFCM team were terrific to work with. We moved my mother from our home into an assisted living facility. The move was accomplished so efficiently and with such care that we were able to settle my her into her new apartment in one day - it was truly amazing. I highly recommend AFCM!

This is the third time I've used AFCM. First was to downsize a parent from a full house to assisted living; second in emptying my office upon retirement; third time for moving a daughter from her first apartment to a perch in another city. Each time the service has been impeccable and above all expectation. The crew shows up exactly on time and works carefully and efficiently. Not a single “treasure†was broken. Furniture is reassembled at the new site exactly where it is supposed to be. No hidden charges. If you want a stress-free move, this is the company to employ.

Hands down the best movers I have ever known. AFCM provides so much more than transferring furniture. When I had to move my father to assisted living from the house in which he had accumulated 50+ years of memories, they figured out what would best re-create his memories in a much reduced space. The move and setup were accomplished speedily and smoothly: when he got to his new home, it seemed familiar and comfortable from the first. Recently I again used AFCM to help a daughter re-locate. This was her first move since college, and the whole process of changing jobs and location was very stressful-- but not the actual move, thanks to AFCM. She was on a very tight deadline -- could not move in until Friday/ starting new job on Monday. She did not have time to do any packing herself. The movers were at the old place exactly on time Friday morning and had her fully set up in the new place by Friday evening. This included taking apart and rebuilding bookcases and a bed, as well as tenderly transporting many, many small collectibles, and all her kitchen comestibles. Not a single fragile figurine was broken; not a single bag of dry goods was spilled. Every box was labeled so that it was easy to ensure that kitchenwares ended up in kitchen, books in living room etc. You could not ask for better service!

Exceptional and competent. Beckyanne and her team successfully completed a complicated move from NY to Maryland for my parents. They did so with almost no input from us as mom was undergoing emergency heart surgery two days before the move. We put our trust in Beckyanne and she absolutely delivered. Both my wife and I highly recommend AFCM. They are a quality organization and they do understand the complexities in relocating elderly parents. A superb resource…../eak

I so appreciate everything that Beckyanne and her team did for us as we emptied out my mother's-in-law house. From the cleaners she arranged to the painter she recommended, everything was so well done and exceeded my expectations. The packers did an exceptional job, grouping logically items I had just tossed on a table so that unpacking has been as easy as it could be. We had several large delicate pieces to move. The advice we received reduced our over-all costs and everything arrived in good shape. And Beckyanne herself was a support at a very hard time for me. Thank you!

Outstanding company. Good people. Fair prices. We had water damage to our store. A First Class Move was able to move us and all of our essential equipment into a temporary office space in one day. After the renovation, they moved us back in one day. Nothing was missing or broken. They are efficient and smooth. I highly recommend BeckyAnne and her team.

None better. Simply beyond words: BeckyAnne's team of professionals is the very best. One thing I appreciated was their accommodation to my need to "do something myself" as we, first, moved Mom into assisted living, then emptied and prepped her home sale and, most recently, downsized her assisted living arrangements and stored more of her things. If you think you know how much help you need, you're probably underestimating how great A First Class Move can be for you and your family. This is a difficult time! Get the very best.

A First-Class Move was a godsend when moving my 97 yr. old relative from independent to assisted living. Becky was so helpful and reassuring and the movers, Caesar and Henry, made it easy for me to step aside and let them do their job. They figured out what would fit and what would not. They donated to charity what was overflow. I definitely recommend this crew and company and intend to use them again if needed!

A First Class Move was easily the best and most accommodating of any movers I've worked with. I've moved often myself, but this particular move involved moving my mother into an apartment after she'd lived in a house for more than 60 years. To say this was a major transition is an understatement. BeckyAnn and her staff of movers made this experience as positive and painless as possible, considering the circumstances of making a transition like this. I believe they are worth every penny that they charged, because of the extra care they all take in their work, and their helpfulness was greatly appreciated. I would recommend them highly.

I've hired A First Class Move and Beckyanne twice now and I'm not sure what I would have done without her. We needed to move an elderly relative into assisted living in a manner that required both great delicacy and decisive logistics. Beckyanne and her crew provided both, and as a result of her specialized attention the transition was a great success. Years later when we needed to move our relative again, I had no hesitation in calling in Beckyanne. She remembered us vividly and was able to refer back to her files to make the second move equally successful. In a situation as stressful as moving an elderly loved one, having a competent and compassionate partner in someone like Beckyanne is key. I would strongly recommend her services to anyone needing a moving service that understands the extra challenges involved in such an operation.

We used A First Class Move twice ~ to move my Mom to assisted living and then again to another apartment within the same community. Beckyanne and her team are professionals and caring. They made a stressful situation less so. They came on time and when they left before dinner every picture was hung, every box unpacked, everything in it's place and most important my Mom felt like she was home. I was there all day and felt like I was with friends ~ friends who had command of the situation and executed it perfectly!
