Meet the team behind better moving advice
Smart people. Strong opinions. A healthy disrespect for boring moving advice. We’re the writers, editors, and data nerds behind Snappy Scout—people who’ve actually packed boxes, argued with landlords, obsessed over commute times, and learned the hard way that hiring the right mover can make or break the moving experience.
Behind every Snappy Scout guide is a local moving expert who cares about getting the details right... and making sure you don’t fall asleep reading boring moving advice. Our moving resources are created by local journalists and written for people... not algorithms!
Our team blends statistics and journalism with local lived experience, to guide you through the moving journey. We argue about property taxes, debate walkability scores, loathe the complexity surrounding moving licenses, and ask the questions that most moving sites conveniently ignore.
