WARNING! Do not deal with this moving company. If you do, get everything in writing. * If I could give negative stars I would. The Marine Corps Leadership Traits are the foundation of any Marine; earning respect and confidence from their fellow peers during the workday. This just doesn't cover life in the USMC, it transcends into civilian life as well. Justice, Judgement, Dependability, Initiative, Decisiveness, Tact, Integrity, Enthusiasm, Bearing, Unselfishness, Courage, Knowledge, Loyalty, and Enthusiasm. These are just some of the characteristics Marines strive to be. The owner of this company, Jay, and his team from motivated moving solutions, do NOT meet this standard. They fail miserably, and as a former Marine, it's disappointing to see other Marines taking advantage of others. I spoke with the owner regarding a move from Falls Church to Crystal City. They were to move a sectional sofa for $125. We agreed over the phone on the price. On the day of the move, two men arrived, (not the owner), to assist with moving the sofa. Unfortunately, I wasn't there, so my girl took the lead. We did add a couple of more things for them to do: we needed approximately ten boxes, a mattress and base spring moved to a bedroom one and a half floors up. The price agreed went up from $125 to $335, instantly, because of those added items. Robbery and pure Greed! My girl was frustrated. She had to haggle with these two guys in crystal city to lower the price. They finally agreed on $265 for the total cost of the move. Now, what kind of reputable company would allow someone to haggle the price down? A company that has no moral integrity; thats who. First, if you ever deal with this company (which you shouldn't) get the estimate in writing. If things should change, get it in writing. Second, I'd never want to believe a company managed by a former Marine would take advantage of a woman. But that's exactly what they did. I wasn't around and they bullied her and raised the price to benefit their own pockets. I'm really disgusted thinking about it. This company lacks the moral compass to succeed. They have no integrity, lack leadership, judgment, and are a bad representation of the United States Marine Corps. Jay, do the public and the nation of Devil Dogs a favor. Take down your company sign of an Eagle, Globe, and Anchor. YOU don't rise to our level and YOU are a black eye to our men and women in uniform. read more

Motivated Moving Solutions was by far the best moving company I have ever used. The owner Jay responds extremely fast to any questions and will do everything needed to get the job done as quickly and professionally as possible. I would most definitely recommend these guys. You will not be disappointed. read more

Motivated Moving Solutions, again, did my recent move. Efficient and affordable. Best movers in the Northern Virginia area. Highly recommend, you won't be disappointed! read more

Motivated Moving Solutions - Professional and efficient movers who take care of your valuables. Jay is the king of moving logistics! - Movers Near Me

Again motivated moving solutions comes thru in a pinch .. call up Jay last minute for a needed move . Jay and his team showed up and did a great job again ... Love these guys read more

Jay and his guys are fantastic. I contacted him just a few days before my move to help unload our Uhaul, as we're a two story walk up with lots of heavy furniture. He was super responsive and did the job on short notice. They made our move SO easy and had everything unloaded and in the apartment in about an hour. Best thing was that we have a pretty narrow staircase and narrow, winding hallway and there wasn't so much as a scuff on our fresh paint--I was really impressed. The crew was really nice and I trusted them 100% with our antique furniture. Next time we need help I will without a doubt be calling them. read more

I recently used Jay's crew for a cross-town move from a townhouse to an apartment. Easy to setup and schedule, estimate was as expected (great pricing!) and final price paid matched the estimate. This is always a big plus!! I had a last minute request for some extra boxes as I scrambled and they were very accommodating and brought them. They arrived a little early for prep and were ready to go at the scheduled time. All furniture was wrapped up perfectly and the move was quick and easy on both sides. Great experience and I will use them again for my next move!! read more

I used Jay and his crew to move a few Qatari students out of their apartment in McLean, as they were moving back to Qatar. They were patient, thoughtful and were especially respectful with the family of the student. I would recommend them anytime. read more

These guys were terrific! On time, careful wit out things, efficient workers and the owner is a great communicator. Thanks for making our move from VA to MD easy! read more

I definitely recommend Jay and Motivated Moving Solutions! I found them through a co-worker who also had a great experience when she moved within Loudoun County. I moved from one end of Fairfax county to the other. Jay and his other crew member were very professional and hardworking. They worked quickly and efficiently and were able to move a two bedroom apartment full of furniture in just a few hours! They were very careful with all of my breakable items and their price was very affordable! What a relief to find a reliable moving service. I would definitely use their services again and I have already recommended the company to all of my friends and family! Thanks Jay! read more

Everything went so smoothly for my move! I would highly recommend. They definitely knew what they were doing. I am giving 4 stars because I wish they had a more definite time for the move (8-10 AM) is kind of a big gap of time to potentially be waiting. And also, they charged us slightly more than our quote when they were there for 5 hours and the quote was for 5-5:45 hours. ***** updated to 5 stars- shortly after the review about the quote, the owner personally called me to ensure I was not overcharged. Believe me when I say - THESE ARE YOUR GUYS! Book book book- they will get you where you need to be. read more

I highly recommend this company. The movers were extremely hard-working, careful, diligent, and all had great attitudes. The move was a difficult one with lots of stairs and tight spaces (3 story townhouse to another 3 story townhouse), but the guys did an amazing job. The original quote was much higher than what we ended up being charged- the price we paid was such a good deal. Matt and the crew packed the truck so well and maximized the space in the truck for all of our stuff. Will definitely recommend and will be using them for our future moves! Thanks guys :) read more

Great people, great service! I asked for heavy furniture moving on next day and motivated moving solutions did fabulous job on right time!!! my english is too short to explain what they've done! I would say perfect job! they brought own blanket to cover furniture -to cover from demages and Jay and his team member are very kind too!! Thank you so much for all your help! I would highly recommend this company :) read more

Jay and his assistant are wonderful!! They responded immediately to my request on Thumbtack regarding relocating my gym equipment within my house for a very reasonable price. They came the following day. I had 3 gym pieces, one was an extremely heavy "home gym". They all needed to be moved into a newly finished and carpeted room. Jay and his assistant figured out quickly how to get the "home gym" through the double doorway (which was shorter than the "home gym "). They just lifted it up and got the job done. Really amazing! And they were so nice. Jay is a Marine, (once a Marine, always a Marine), so naturally he knows how to do a job right the first time. I will certainly call Jay Joseph of Motivated Moving Solutions if I ever need to move anything again. read more

Reasonable price and service. Only 2 guys- could have used 3 for the bigger pieces, but they packed and moved everything in the time frame asked of them. Good for local moves, and were willing to work on the weekend (thank you!!) read more

Jay and his crew did an amazing job! He was easy to communicate with, very courteous, and right on time! He and his colleague even did their best work when it was freezing rain! I've used movers in several states and I'd place Jay among the very best! Highly recommended! read more

I highly recommend this company! I used them to move today! Excellent service. Very polite and professional crew! I would use them again. Thank you Motivated Moving Solutions! read more

Absolutely the best customer service I've ever received with a moving company. They were so friendly and professional. So easy to work with. They arrived promptly and got the job done. I would highly recommend Jay and his crew to anyone I know that needs a moving company. They made the proccess of having to move do much easier for me. One less thing to stress about. Pricing was excellent compared to other companies I had called. Very fair and reasonable. If I ever need a moving company again this will be my go to. read more

Jay and his employee showed up on time, were friendly, and gave me a great price. Would definitely recommend.

I hired Motivated Moving Solutions to move me after my first choice was booked. I'm glad I made the decision. The guys showed up as scheduled and were very courteous and professional. They handled my furniture and belongings with care and made sure I was completely satisfied before departing. I will highly recommend them to anyone. Thanks guys!! read more

They were a "No show" and I scheduled them weeks before the move. Do not trust these people. Not even a call or email to say they were not coming. Wasted a whole day waiting for them and trying to reach them. read more

Jay and his team did a great job! The team showed up on time and worked continuously to get the job done. They took great care of our furnishings and belongings including wrapping mattresses and all of the furniture and also put carpet runners down to protect our new carpet. Jay was quick to respond to my inquiries! read more

Jay and his helper came out and helped my fiancé and I move all our furniture from our apartment to our new apartment, very pleasant and friendly no damage to any of our things and they even placed everything where we wanted it to go. I've never used a moving company before and now that I have I don't think I'll be doing a move all by myself any longer. I highly recommend Jay and his company to assist anyone with a move and I would and will call again the next time we move. Thank you Jay for all your help. read more

Highly recommend Jay and his company! You're supporting a local small business as well as a highly motivated and professional individual who is experienced and dedicated to providing the absolute best in his field. I'd go with Jay's personalized service ANY day over some big business that doesn't even care about my stuff getting broken. He is totally dedicated to ensuring customer satisfaction and treats your things as if they were his own. read more

These guys were fantastic! Moved our heavy awkward furniture no problem! Great customer service and did it all within the time frame given. Thanks! read more

Jay is awesome! He and his team were very quick and professional as well as careful with my stuff. My new building reserved the moving elevator for the wrong time which caused us to have to wait an hour before moving my things in, but Jay and his team didn't seem annoyed in the slightest. The pricing was also very reasonable. Will definitely move with him again! read more

Absolutely excellent work from every aspect of this company. Emails with questions are answered quickly by the owner. The moving crew was on site early, worked very quickly but carefully, took great care of my belongings, my floors, and my walls, and managed to fit an amazing amount of stuff in their truck. To top it all off, they were friendly and personable even after hours of non-stop work. Not only that, but they gave me a lower quote than any of the half dozen companies I called, and the estimate for the time it would take was accurate. In short: this is the moving company you want. They're great! read more

This being the first time I used movers, I was pretty confident that I was getting the best moving service when I saw the five-star Yelp reviews for Motivated Moving Solutions. And I am happy to report that those perfect reviews are oh-so-deserved. From the time I called for a quote to the time I signed the papers to sign off on the conclusion of the move, I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Jay was the one I spoke to regarding the quote, and everything was clear and upfront. After sending an email to confirm that I would like to hire MMS (for my move that was in week's time!), I got a response accepting my request, complete with the names of my movers, TJ and Larry. There was a back-and-forth of emails, verifying details. On moving day itself, TJ and Larry came earlier than the time that was given me, which was no problem whatsoever since I did want to start as soon as possible. Both TJ and Larry were professional, friendly and just downright awesome! They were thoughtful in packing, loading and unloading all of my items. I had some of my cousins helping me unload, and with TJ and Larry, it was like just a bunch of friends helping another friend to move. :) I chose to pay via credit card, so I was required to sign off on some paperwork, and I was informed that I would be getting a call from MMS telling me that I should be expecting an invoice in my email. Sure enough, that same afternoon, I received a call and an email shortly after. Paying was a cinch, and spot on with the quote I was given by Jay. All in all, a great moving experience - I would definitely use MMS again! And oh, if you do use movers - helpful tip: have drinks (water, Gatorade, etc.) and food, if possible, handy. :) I know I'd really appreciate it if those were available while I was lugging around heavy things for hours on end! read more

The help I received was quick and organized. The two gentlemen that helped me move knew exactly what they were doing and were well prepared. I would highly recommend using this company!! All my belongings are intact (all my mirrors, lights, and tv) and no scratches on any walls! Perfect! Excuse my spelling of the names, but many thanks to Vince and Jaquin. read more

Phenomenal service!! I recently did a local move and luckily was able to work with Motivated Moving Solutions. I coordinated with Jay for scheduling. He provided quick responses to each of my inquires, honest quotes and communicated with me on arrival times and departure of moving team. The moving team arrived exactly on time and immediately I was impressed with a pleasant, professional and hard-working team who got me settled in to my new home. It was such a relief to have utmost professionals who relieved any stress associated with a move. I have moved across country and overseas and this, by far was THE best experience I have had moving! I highly recommend this company to anyone! read more

Jay fit me into their schedule on short notice. They arrived on time and were professional, courteous, and efficient. They wasted no time getting my furniture and belongings on the truck. I was moving it all into a storage unit that was already more than half full. Jay was very strategic in the way he placed everything into the unit and by some miracle, made it all fit. After a mediocre experience with another very highly-rated mover I found on yelp, I did not have very high hopes, but Motivated Moving Solutions impressed me enough to leave this review! So glad I found them and will use them again when I move everything back out of storage read more

Wow what a great Team. I used this Company to move my 3 bedroom to storage and will use them again when I am ready to move into my home. I had a bad experience with a previous company from Maryland and was afraid to try it again but I had no choice so I looked for a local choice and after a few emails from Jay I decided to give them a try. I am so glad I did... Jay worked with me on my schedule changes a couple times and they showed up on time and ready to go, it was a damage free move. I just cannot say enough and would highly recommend them. read more

I was referred to MMS by a colleague who had used them, and I was floored by how awesome they were! First of all, I had to move in February and get movers at the last minute for some heavy stuff. Jay and his crew came to my aid at a moments notice, to get my big heavy, bulky stuff from Fairfax, to Arlington. They treated my beloved couch and other "heavies" with care and respect and really just put my mind at ease with how gentle they were with them! Due to this unexpected move, I was very low on funds, and Jay negotiated a fair and affordable rate for me to pay him. I will DEFINITELY use Motivated Moving Solutions for my next move, because I know they can be trusted and will treat my things with the same respect that I have for them. read more
