NO LONGER FRANCHISING
Move management and customized relocation services for older adults and working professionals. We are not movers. Our services include floor-plan, pack, unpack, sort and disposal of unwanted belongings for sale or clean-out. We resettle the new home. Our founder and president is a nationally recognized leader in the field of downsizing and hoarding.
Helpful, calm moving is an idea whose time has come.
MOVING SOLUTIONS people groups migrate. Moving has dependably been troublesome, yet before, there weren't powerful alternatives. No more. With master arranging and hands-on support, MOVING SOLUTIONS removes the work and stress from moving.
Utilizing MOVING SOLUTIONS isn't a cost, it's a speculation.

Utilizing MOVING SOLUTIONS isn't a cost, it's a speculation.
When you are arranging a move or setting up your home
available to be purchased, you spare time and cash with MOVING SOLUTIONS. Our
prepared staff utilize demonstrated frameworks and systems to help you expand
your home's attractiveness so it offers rapidly and at the most elevated cost.
We call it Strategic Decluttering,™ - keeping the true objective in sight.
Every occupation starts with a top to bottom interview where
we talk about your needs and concerns. You settle on the choices. You choose
the amount to spend. As your turn moves nearer, we can:
• Develop a modified floor arrange
• Arrange for gift or offer of unneeded things
• Schedule and supervise movers you can trust
• Professionally pack every one of your possessions
• Completely unload and resettle your new home.
At the point when your schedule appears to be perpetual,
it's anything but difficult to feel overpowered. Whether you are moving,
discharging a relative's home or just cleaning up a home you plan to stay in,
you don't need to do only it.
Racing Limos was founded by Bryan Pease in Naples, FL in 2002 as a specialty transportation company. At its peak, Racing Limos boasted 53 active franchise locations, but the 2007-2009 downturn slid the franchise operations into difficult times.
James Albion (Dover, NH) got involved with the NH franchise as an ad agency, ZMJ Advertising (founded in 1992), and felt the company had potential more as a marketing & advertising company than a limousine service. Albion took over the Racing Limos business under his NH corporation, Racing Limos America, Inc., in April 2010.
"With the economy likely to stay in the dumper for another 10 years, and gasoline showing signs that we could see $5 - $6 per gallon, I saw the potential of the business moving into marketing and away from a luxury service. Regardless of economy, businesses advertise, and when the economy is very difficult, as it is now, businesses are looking for more creative, aggressive forms of advertising to keep moving forward. We are that aggressive, creative business."
Franchises are priced as turnkey operations, making it easier for a franchise owner to be in business and moving forward from Day 1.
