Why a South Side bungalow and a Dublin townhome aren’t priced the same
A narrow South Side street with no room for a truck to turn around, and a Dublin townhome answering to a two-hour association loading slot, land on completely different schedules even when both list as three bedrooms. Price them off square footage and one of them stalls out on moving day. That’s why an actual look at the property comes first here.
What fills the calendar most weeks
A typical week mixes older German Village and South Side homes, Grove City properties set back on long gravel stretches, and newer construction in Dublin, Westerville, or Hilliard answering to its own association calendar.

What a fixed total is actually paying for
One agreed figure covers the truck, packing materials, and time on site, and a nightstand gets handled with the same attention as a china cabinet.
| Home size | Approximate flat rate |
|---|---|
| Studio | $420 to $690 |
| One-bedroom | $690 to $1,120 |
| Two-bedroom | $1,120 to $1,950 |
| Three-bedroom | $1,950 to $3,200 |
| Four-bedroom | $3,000 to $4,750 |
Oversized items, bed frames, sectionals, tall dressers, break down ahead of transit and go back together on arrival. Where a German Village lane behind the house can’t fit a full rig, the crew stages a smaller vehicle for that final stretch instead of trying to force it. A piano gets handled on its own, separate from everything else stacked in the truck.
Access rules shape the schedule just as much as furniture count
A Dublin association that only opens its gate for a short stretch is exactly where a crew missing the right paperwork ends up losing the reservation. Corbin has the certificate of insurance in the property office’s hands ahead of time and books that slot, then lays down floor and door protection so nothing gets scuffed along the way. Where a German Village lane won’t take a full-size rig, the crew hand-carries items the rest of the way from a smaller vehicle.
Paperwork and Saturday timing
On Dublin, Westerville, or Hilliard jobs, Priya reconfirms the reservation against your date a few days out. If a move happens to land on an OSU home Saturday, extra time gets built in for downtown closures and parking restrictions.
Where this habit comes from
Marcus grew up on the South Side. His father ran routes for a regional freight company, and Marcus put in his own summers loading trucks for a local outfit working the 70/71 split. Checking a property’s access and paperwork before naming a price isn’t a recent habit picked up for this business, Mr Mover Of Ohio has worked this way since 2011.
