After nearly 25 years in the moving business, Genevieve Benton launched A Perfect Move three years ago with the intention of developing a moving company their customers would keep for life. While initially their focus was relocation strategies and services for senior citizens – helping with everything from sorting through their belongings through the actual move to working with the customer to best utilize their new space – they have since grown to include regional as well as international moving options for a wide range of customers and clients.

While A Perfect Move will help you consolidate your belongings, they don’t want to see any of it go to waste. That’s why they will bring any belongings you wish to donate to any number of local outlets, free of charge (they will even bring you a tax receipt for next year’s deductions). One of their biggest receivers of free furniture and other goods is the Fair Tide outlet in Kittery, where A Perfect Move has dropped off tons of donated items over the years.

Have valuable antique items that just didn’t make the relocation cut? A Perfect Move will bring in trusted appraisers to help you get the most for your valuables – also free of charge. Indeed, their commitment to their customers and their belongings is one A Perfect Move strives to make a life-long relationship, and the company regularly hosts small luncheons at their home for past and prospective clients alike.

A Perfect Move places a heavy emphasis on educating the public about the most efficient methods for moving. They work extensively with regional realty companies, conducting seminars and talks that help both the mover and their realtor save time and energy, using their extensive contacts with thrift outlets, appraisers, and other services to help make your transition a smooth one.

While admittedly new to the green business landscape, the folks at A Perfect Move are excited to bolster their sustainable credentials going forward. They already offer recycled packaging for all their clients, and their commitment to diverting tons of materials from landfills sets them apart from peers in their industry. Going forward, A Perfect Move plans to explore the option of running their truck fleet on bio-diesel, as well as greening their every-day office operations.
