About MoveCostly
Updated
Who runs it
MoveCostly is written and built by Paul Gunder, founder of Rocky Mountain Apps, which makes calculators and reference tools. He is not a mover, a real estate agent or a lawyer, and nothing here depends on being one. Each page rests on a source that is named and linked where it is used.
What it is for
Moving is a one-off task people do under stress, usually while a stranger holds a deposit. The site aims to be the calm list you can tick through: who to check, what to ask, what to keep, where to report a problem. Buying or selling a home often comes with a move, so the site also explains the two federal loan forms, the inspection and the final walk-through. Cost guides follow once their figures can be traced to dated sources. Good places to start are the vet-a-mover checklist and the moving timeline checklist.
What it won't do
It does not name, rank or accuse any moving company. It does not take quotes or sell your details to movers or lenders. It does not build calculators; where a calculation helps, the page links to one.
How it is paid for
Today the site sells nothing, runs no advertising and has no affiliate links. Advertising and clearly labeled affiliate links for storage may be added later, and each change will be dated on what changed.
