Austin Apartment Market Expects Huge Growth in 2012
Comments Off
Wow! Austin tops another national list – this time in regard to the apartment sector of the housing market. The Austin American Statesman published an interesting article naming Austin’s apartment market second in the country this year, trailing only behind San Francisco.

Developers are rushing to break ground on new projects all over the city to meet the demand. Many existing complexes named in the article are experiencing 99% occupancy, and quite a few have waiting lists for tenants hoping to move in.
The relatively good job market and continually growing population in our city are keeping supply low and demand high. The article mentions that people are relocating to Austin from around the globe, many looking to begin their life here in Austin in an apartment.
So, if you are planning to make a move to a new apartment this year, heed the advice of this article and plan ahead then plan to move quickly. And, keep us in mind when it comes time for your physical move! We’re committed to topping your list as the best Austin moving company.

Angels Afoot Delivery
Comments Off
Owner Chris Masters participated in his 10th annual Angels Afoot transport and delivery for Riverbend Church of Christmas gifts for underprivileged children in the Greater Austin area. It is amazing to have a role, year after year, in ensuring that these children will receive bicycles, toys, clothes and more. Watching a 32′ trailer fill up with dreams come true and wishes fulfilled is a humbling experience to be sure. Have a Merry Christmas all!

Bastrop Fire Assistance
Comments Off
We have continued to offer support and help to our neighbors in Bastrop, devastated by the wildfires on Labor Day. In addition to giving a few individual families moves out of fire-destroyed areas, we have also been able to hook up with the Austin Disaster Relief Network http://www.adrntx.org/. We are proud of our crews who have willingly given of their time to deliver to the staging warehouse water, supplies, clothing and more for the families in need and volunteers who are helping them. It is awesome to be part of a larger community of so many caring individuals all coming together in a time of crisis. Central Texans, keep up the good work in restoring Bastrop!

Homecoming Floats
Comments Off
We had a blast helping Hill Country Christian School of Austin transport their homecoming floats to the Friday night football game! The elementary school kiddos rallied in support of the high school football team, with each class creating a float for the homecoming half-time show. We safely transported about 20 floats to the Cedar Park High School stadium where the proud artists displayed their work. What a great night, and great win for the Knights: 71-26!

It’s College Move Out Time!
Comments Off
After spending thousands of dollars on college tuition, spending more money on a moving company probably isn’t your top priority. But, if you aren’t careful about the mover you choose to help move and possibly store your belongings, you can wind up paying more than you wanted and spending extra to replace damaged goods.
The peak time for college move out is over the next two weeks, make sure you get your request on the moving company’s schedule ASAP.
Before you sign on the dotted line, here are a few tips for the move and some questions to ask your potential moving company:
1.) Ask for their licenses and insurance. Your moving company should be able to show you a US DOT and DMV number, as well as a copy of their insurance policy.
2.) Do your homework and ask for referrals. Do a background check with the Better Business Bureau (the Austin location can be found at http://austin.bbb.org/) and ask for client referrals.
3.) Price Check. Call three to four companies for price comparisons. They should all be similar. If you find a deal that’s too go to be true, chances are it is. Make sure you are getting both quality and value for your dollar.
4.) Know exactly what you are getting into. Does your mover charge by the move or by the hour? Is there a minimum number of hours? Do they charge a roll out fee? Is there a separate price for larger pieces such as armories, washer/dryer, sofas, etc. Is there a price break if you pre-assemble furniture or pre-pack boxes?
5.) Storage. Will you need to store your college student’s belongings over the summer? Does your moving company also provide storage? Is it crated? Climate controlled? Can you contract for move out and move in?
M&M Super Moving understands this is a hectic time for your family. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions. Good luck with your move!
