What Is a Moving Strategist? Move Smarter, Not Harder in 2025

Not Just Muscle—A Game Plan for Your Move
When most people think of hiring movers, they picture a crew showing up with a truck, some muscle, and maybe a few moving blankets. For some reason, it’s not a moving strategist.
Kind of like those old Planet Fitness commercials:
“I lift things up and put them down.”
But here’s the problem—too often, that crew shows up without a real plan.
I’ve seen it firsthand. After years working with some of Boston’s most respected moving companies—Gentle Giant, Wicked Smart Movers, Statewide Movers, and others—I noticed a pattern:
- The wrong truck shows up.
- Items get moved three different times before ever leaving the house.
- Crews take multiple trips when one well-planned trip would’ve done it.
- Clients overpay for wasted time.
I knew there had to be a smarter way. That’s why I built AdamHelper. I don’t just lift—I strategize.
So… What Is a Moving Strategist?
A moving strategist is someone who helps you think before you lift. It’s not just about moving—it’s about moving smarter.
When you work with me, I help you:
- ✅ Map out your move from start to finish.
- ✅ Figure out what’s staying, what’s going, and what’s getting donated or stored.
- ✅ Determine the right truck size, number of trips, and the most efficient packing order.
- ✅ Avoid common mistakes that waste time, money, and energy.
Whether you’re moving across town, into storage, or from Boston to NYC, this isn’t about brute force. It’s about strategy + strength.
I’m Not Just a Mover—I’m a Moving Strategist
I didn’t just learn moving by lifting boxes. My background shaped how I work today:
- 🔍 Anthropology studies taught me the importance of observation and problem-solving.
- ♟️ Chess taught me to think two, three, four moves ahead.
- 🎮 I’m an ’80s baby—growing up playing Tetris taught me how to fit the most into the least amount of space, whether it’s a truck, a storage unit, or a tight stairwell.
- 💪🏾 Former high school record holder. From track and field to rugby, football, and basketball—it’s no wonder I can carry heavy items up stairs while walking backwards. Yup, I played Defensive Back!
This combination is why clients say things like:
“The last company made 2 trips in a cargo van. AdamHelper showed up, planned it out, and did it in one trip with the same size cargo van”
When You Need a Moving Strategist (Not Just a Mover)
- ✔️ Planning a move across Greater Boston or to NYC.
- ✔️ Moving into or out of storage.
- ✔️ Internal home moves (setting up a home office, swapping rooms).
- ✔️ Small-load moves that big companies overprice.
- ✔️ Office or commercial moves that need precision.
Here’s How It Works:
- Book a $50 Moving Strategy Session.
- We hop on a phone call (or virtual chat).
- I help you:
- Decide what’s moving, what’s not.
- Plan the packing order.
- Choose the right vehicle size (cargo van? box truck?).
- Optimize your timeline and resources.
- You walk away with a clear plan—and if you want, we can schedule the move too.
The concept of a moving strategist is more straightforward than you might imagine.
Why This Matters
“We moved the same couch three times trying to make it fit before calling you…”
I hear this story all the time. Moving doesn’t have to be this stressful. You don’t have to waste money renting trucks twice the size you need—or doing five trips when it should be one.
A little bit of planning with a moving strategist upfront saves hours of time, hundreds of dollars, and a whole lot of headaches.
My Motto: Don’t Just Move. Move Smarter.
This is what I do every day for clients across Greater Boston, New England, and the East Coast. If you’re ready to move smarter, I’m ready to help. Honestly, consider working with a moving strategist before you get the couch stuck in the doorway.
