Hey y'all... Just a question for you that I would like to get some thoughts/opinions on:

I'm about to move 500 miles in 2 months. I currently own a 3/2 house and will be downsizing to a 1/1 apartment (approximately 300 sq feet smaller than what I have now and no garage - but I am getting rid of most of my stuff/furniture). Moving my stuff myself is not an option.

I have had 3 moving companies come in today to give me estimates. One company gave me a very reasonable estimate, another gave me an estimate about $500 higher than that and the last company gave me an estimate more than 2x the low one.

Question is - what did the third company see that the other two didn't? I told all of them the same things and asked the same questions from them. I just feel really blown out of the water by that high of an estimate compared to the other two companies. Especially since I will be doing all my own packing.

Thanks for any insight/advice in advance!
