GBDO NOT USE Was supposedly family run..They had advance notice of my move date and still gave the excuse that the truck hadn't arrived to pick up my things. Then, they told me with a days notice that my things were being delivered. They only sent one guy. I told him I would pay him once everything was moved into my apartment. He was nasty and said "wouldn't everyone like that". He was a contractor, had all my things piled at the end of the truck. I had a beautiful wicker container that was crushed along with a new floor lamp that was destroyed. He charged me for all steps even though they said they wouldn't charge for 7. I had 8 steps coming into the condo building and then another 8 to my door. I had a hydro rowing machine that he couldn't move by himself and I ended up lifting one end and carried it up with him into the apartment AND I was charged for the steps.. I called the company to report and they basically gave me the cold shoulder and told me to file a claim and they couldn't do anything about me helping the mover since he was a contractor. I would NOT recommend using this company!!

GBI was told it was a family owned… I was told it was a family owned business and independent contractors showed up at 11:30am when I was adamite that I needed to be as early as possible. I was also told three guys were coming and only two showed up. One did all the work and the old guy, smoked, and did everything I asked him NOT TO DO. My boxes were labeled FRAGIAL AND HALF OF MY CHINA PLUS WATERFORD CRYSLAL WERE BROKEN. I have moved many times within Florida and NEVER HAD ANY OF MY EXPENSIVE WATERFORD BROKEN. They left half of the items on our estimation and said another truck was coming, well I called and no truck was assigned. These guys were rude and lazy. They would of had to dump my fragile boxes for that much breakage. $1700 for a 3/2 house to be moved 85 miles YET I was forced to hire another company to finish the move. They were GREAT. Young able body guys who finished their job without any bull. DON'T USE THIS COMPANY GO TO SOMEONE ELSE.

GBMy whole experience with Real time… My whole experience with Real time relocation was excellent from the initial call to the move itself and boy with having a 3 month old and 2 stories they were definitely life savers!! Highly recommend!!!!!

GBTerrible overall experience Terrible overall experience Our initial quote (to move from FL to RI) was ~$3700, this was a little low in my opinion (which should have been the first red flag) but we decided to move forward with them. We gave them a rough idea (over the phone) of what we had and they said they would contact us prior to the move. They contact us again to send them a detailed list of items we have. The Wednesday before the move (we moved on Saturday) we get a call from them saying our quote is now ~$6700 as we underestimated what we had before. I had no problem with this as this sounded more reasonable and in line with what other companies had quoted us. The day of the move they gave us a 2 hour window of when they would be there (I believe 8-10am?). They were late. We did have 2 pickups (one in Orlando and one in Gainesville and my girlfriend (who was in Orlando) was not happy with the movers. She said they continuously stopped to take smoke breaks and were just generally not the most professional. When they got to me in Gainesville they were able to pickup my stuff and I personally had no problem with them (the movers). They did add on fees pretty continuously throughout the process. Their website says "flat fees," that's nonsense as they do charge extra for every flight of stairs (to them one flight = 7 stairs @ $75/flight). I believe they also charged extra for every 100ft or so they had to walk to their truck. Once everything was loaded they said we went over our allotted feet. Our quote of $6700 was for 1000 metric feet. We ended at 1300ft. Our quote now went from $6700 to about $9400 and change. At this point our initial quote has tripled and we understandably upset by this. We contact John (the owner) who just sent us back numbers that did add up to what we were being charged but when we questioned where these numbers came from it ended with radio silence and contact (essentially their HR). Unfortunately for us they already had our stuff and we were at their mercy. Fine, I sign the papers and we get to the part about insurance. There are 2 options, 1. they cover everything (lost/damaged goods) but of course, that's another added fee (a certain % of what we think its worth or something along those lines) or 2. 0.60 cents per pound of good. We went with option 2 as the mover said "its never an issue." Fine When the movers get to RI (about 7-10 days) one guy shows up with the truck and starts unpacking. There was other people stuff in the truck and he put their mattress right in a puddle. I was horrified for those people who weren't even there. And when he started taking boxes out of truck most were absolutely smushed, smashed, open, chewed on what ever you want to say they were not in the condition we gave them in. Many things were broken (suitcase was smashed) and worse was the peloton bike screen was smashed. The mover said "file a claim." Someone else showed up to help the moving guy about an hour after he got there. Ended up leaving at 11pm (got there at about 6pm). We filled a claim (remember that insurance I mentioned earlier), for $3k. After their 3rd party got back to us they offered us ~$132 total "based on weight of items broken (smashed)." The peloton screen alone is $500.... Apparently if you move long distance they offload your stuff in a ware house and just beat the living daylights out of it. Only reason they get 1 star is because customer service was friendly (I assume she deals with this type of situation often). Please do not make the same mistake we did and do NOT go with these guys. Thanks

GBHonestly one of the best experiences… Honestly one of the best experiences I’ve had with a company- let alone a mover. Picture perfect. They quoted me accurately and on moved day the movers were a dream. Same day delivery for a 3 bedroom house with all the packing was fantastic, even if it took till nightfall.
