white glove moving and storage – White Glove Moving, Storage, and Delivery

Gifford Youth Achievement Center YEP

September 28, 2026

As active business members in the community, White Glove Moving & Storage was pleased to sponsor the Indian River Chamber of Commerce breakfast in May of 2026. After the interactive presentation, Director, Jay Lundy Sr. expressed his enthusiasm about the good work White Glove does in the area and that he had a program available with a young man who expressed interest in learning more about the moving and storage industry.

After a few meetings and to do lists we were were excited to bring in Tremar for a hands-on summer of learning. At the end a banquet was held to celebrate 5 years of GYAC’s Youth Employability Program (YEP). The event blended the 2026 cohort close-out and awards celebration. It also featured a “courtside” chat where employers and students shared their experiences from this summer. Best part, awards to the YEP students who participated in their summer internships were given with photos and a standing ovation.

It has been said that movers and truck drivers are experiencing a shortage as the next generation gravitates to different trades and careers. To help foster an appreciation for the industry in this young man was rewarding and we look forward to the next one!

Influential Women in Real Estate Panel

August 24, 2026

The Women’s Council of Realtors Stuart-Martin hosted their annual Panel sponsored by White Glove Moving & Storage on Aug. 13th. Inside the auditorium of the Martin County Realtors of the Treasure Coast, the distinguished panel of realtors gave insights and shared their stories as well as expertise to a room full of fellow agents and affiliates alike. Keri Burgess with Remax Stuart, Joan Rogers with the Horsepower Team at Berkshire Hathaway, and Stacy Little with the GPS Group at Compass were our headliners.

Keri Burgess, Joan Rogers, Stacey Little, Anna Valencia Tillery

Serving as the moderator and sponsor, Anna Valencia Tillery, highlighted the top three reasons to recommend White Glove Moving & Storage:

We are guaranteed to show up. Many movers in south Florida, take money and never even show; that will not happen with White Glove.
We require no deposits, no hidden fees…we value our referral partners and can accommodate most change requests if communicated promptly. Best part no credit card processing fees, so get those points!
The team is celebrating more than 20+ years, headquartered on the Treasure Coast, happy and able to ensure referrals shine every time and that we give to local charities, causes as best we can. If doing business with a local company that gives back to groups you value, is important to you…don’t hesitate to refer White Glove.

Then, five lucky winners received “stepping stones” to put in their gardens as a symbol of “we all are on a journey in our careers and company’s success, each day is a stepping stone.”

It was a fun prelude to the nuggets of knowledge set to be shared by the all star panel.

Their questions for each of the seasoned women in real estate were as follows:

For each panelist, who has been your biggest mentor or advocate, and how did they shape your career?
Let’s delve into some one person questions, Keri, the tech of today will be a thing of the past in no time, yet it wasn’t anything just 20+ years ago. How has technology changed the way you serve clients?
Not that you ladies have a crystal ball, yet Stacey what trends do you believe will have the biggest impact on real estate over the next five years?
Joan, having grown up in the world of real estate, how do you define success beyond sales volume or transactions?
Let’s take that a step further and for each of you ladies, what habits or routines have contributed most to your success?
Joan, If you could change one misconception people have about real estate professionals, what would it be?
Keri, you have a passion for animals (in particular dogs) as much as you do for real estate, What legacy do you hope to leave in the real estate industry?
Stacey, for folks thinking about joining a team, what are some of your key points to share?
What is a bit of advice you wish to share with the next generation of women entering real estate?

For the lightning round they were asked:

Biggest real estate myth?
Best book or podcast for business growth?
One word that describes great leadership?

With a few minutes yet in the program, each attendee was given a chance to state their name and company as well as why they attended the day’s event. It was great to hear all the reasons and know that so many of the professionals in the room found ongoing education to be so rewarding. With a few prizes to give away, we ended the meeting on a real high note and the event adjourned. This luncheon was so uplifting with the biggest takeaway being…treat everyday and every task as a bigger picture to your business’ success.

America 250 Parade

July 10, 2026

As a trusted moving and storage provider, headquartered out of the Treasure Coast in Florida, it was an honor to be aske to help emcee and be in the USA All Day Pioneers to Patriots parade on the 4th of July. With the sun shining bright, more than 60 local municipalities, civic groups, churches, and businesses came together to demonstrate their love of county and community. Residents and guests alike lined up along Main Street by the thousands to give back that energy and patriotism to the exhibitors.

In the course of the hour, as emcee, it was amazing to highlight two proud Veterans, both more than 100 years old, who served in WWII and earned badges of honor for their bravery and loyalty to America. Sadly, two fallen officers were recognized in the parade and it was incredible to see the salutes for these four incredible Americans from the center stage. Choirs were singing, bands were marching and executing terrific musical cheer, pickle ballers were dribbling, and everyone was waving flags. It was truly a sight to see!

Hats off to the White Glove Moving & Storage team for their participation and assistance leading up to the big day including last minute stage decorating and help with assembling nearby floats who ran out of tape and had no ladders. As professional movers, it sure is handy our trucks are always equipped with the tools and items that may be needed for the job at hand.

Planning a move in the near future? Know of someone who is moving and doesn’t want to do it themselves?

Whether coming into Florida from another state, leaving Florida for a different state, or a local move from one part of town to the next, it is never too early to start the process and White Glove Moving & Storage would be honored to assist.

Always a free estimate, no deposits or hidden fees, great communication and fair pricing; earning the title of most trusted movers is one we take seriously. From our love of America to our love of customers and our region, we hope to be the moving and storage partners you refer.

Cheers to another 250 years!

2025 Top Producer Panel of Indian River County

November 7, 2025

The 2^nd Annual Top Producer Panel, Insights from Indian River County Real Estate Pros took place at the prestigious Riverside Theatre on November 5^th, 2025. With six top producing agents from different offices on stage, the packed room of fellow realtors enjoyed a delightful lunch while panelists shared their answers.

Serving as host and moderator, Anna Valencia Tillery with White Glove Moving & Storage teamed up with eight other companies to provide a meet and greet experience to the guests and fellow sponsors both before and after the panel discussion. A special thank you to:

The panelists included:

Charlotte Terry with Alex MacWilliam Real Estate who joined the brokerage in 2009, after having her own successfully for many year. With her team, they’ve expanded to include both buyer’s and listing representation. She has over 40 years in Vero Beach, and is a fourth-generation Floridian, making her well-versed in Florida and real estate.

Sven Frisell with Compass Realty and the Reynolds team, whose real estate journey began in 2019, with a proven track record of success, having sold out the Sea Breeze Cottages at The Strand on Vero Beach’s barrier island. Interestingly, he speaks fluent English, Danish, and Swedish.

Lori Davis with Dale Sorensen Real Estate who sets the bar high over the past 16 years specializing in the marketing and selling of luxury properties globally, nationally and locally with a background in sales working for the Quaker Oats Company and The Keebler Company. Her tagline: “your realtor for life.”

Tareek Beasley with Keller Williams whose 7 years in real estate has consistently ranked him in the top 5 agents of the Vero Beach market center. In 2025, he was voted 2025 Rookie of the Year by the Realtors Association of Indian River.

Kathleen Provancher from One Sotheby’s has over 35 years of Real Estate experience and is consistently one of the top teams for the past 10 years in Indian River County. Her team’s tagline: THE MOST RELIABLE REALTORS® IN VERO BEACH

Robin Raiff with the Keye’s Company has a career spanning more than two decades with a reputation as one of the most knowledgeable and trustworthy names in South Florida real estate. In 2023, she became part of the inaugural class of Board Certified Realtors here in Florida and prides herself on raising the standards of her profession.

Questions included a variety of topics that played to the strengths and expertise of the panelists. Each panelist had two questions with a final third question that was the same for them all.

Sven was asked about his abilities to market luxury waterfront properties to the right buyers. In his second round of q& a, he was asked for tips to help buyers navigate the altering market?

Charlotte Terry was asked as a 4^th generation resident, Florida naturalist, master gardner and lover of the outdoors; do you find through this wisdom you are able to cross-promote both lifestyle and Florida’s native roots? In her second round of questions it was asked, “The barrier island then was nothing like it is today. What do you believe is the secret sauce that makes our town and in particular, our beachside so special yielding such an affluent audience? To follow that up, what do you think some agents are missing the mark on when showcasing a listing in the 32963?”

Tareek was asked how has relationships and reputation led to income opportunities, how did you know the right time to ask for the business? His second question was “you have been in real estate 7 years, and what an interesting span it has been with big curveballs creating volatile moments that have made home prices in comparison to wages hard for true locals to own a home. And yet you are able to keep calm, you keep pounding the pavement with persistence and a whole lot of patience. How? Got any tips to share?

For Lori Davis we touched on marketing. “With your international marketing experience, Lori, you know that in this business your listing can’t do the work alone. In fact, it’s quite the opposite and the onus falls on you, the agent to go full contact almost like in a sport to get across the finish lines, yes? With her second question pertaining to whether or not one should “take the listing” even if they know it there are issues with the buyer, property, both?

Robin’s questions focused on compliancy to help build up the professionalism of the industry collectively. “Often the first step to sell a property is to simply get a sign up to say the property is for sale. Yet, there are rules and many aren’t followed which can be a disservice to the agent and seller alike. What are some top checklist items you’d want to highlight today so we can all be as compliant and professional as possible especially with more listings coming on the market and sitting longer? Followed by why she believes in dedicating her time to leadership within the world of real estate and how it has impacted her business.

For Kathleen Provancher, we discussed the value of a brokerage and why she has switched over the years; what were the pros and cons? Her second question “what are some of the basics you wish to share with everyone here that will help them and their customers?

The final question was, “ what is that piece of advice you wish someone had given you when you started in the industry that you now have the opportunity to share with our audience today?

Though all the agents had great answers like be prepared to work seven days a week, or treat your business like a real business, the last response from Charlotte Terry had us all in stiches, “if you are going to start a career in real estate, make sure you have a partner that makes a good living.”

After a standing ovation, the panelists came down and sat with the audience while each sponsor took the microphone to share services and commitment to the realtors in the room. Each ended with a prize that went to a lucky realtor in the room. Good news, everyone got a custom lighter that had all 9 logos on it, reading “Cheers to igniting years of collaboration.” A special thanks again to Riverside Theatre

for being our venue host with a terrific bartender and staff.

Also, to Maryanne Lucera with At Your Service Catering for a delicious lunch of gourmet wraps and desserts, and to the White Glove Moving & Storage team for supporting the time and energy it takes to create an event of this magnitude.

Wishing us all a successful and happy close to 2025!

Certified Dementia Friendly Movers

June 25, 2025

White Glove Moving, Storage & Delivery has been a long time senior certified mover alongside our partnerships with Bekins Vanlines and Pak Mail Beachside through the National Association of Senior Move Managers. Yet, as the senior demographic ages, more and more people are losing some of their cognitive abilities and are being diagnosed with dementia. In fact, in the Treasure Coast of Florida there are several people on a waiting list to go into the assisted living facilities that also offer memory care. Several years back, the healthcare industry saw the demand rise and facilities offering only memory care units were created.

In 2020, White Glove Moving and Storage had the privilege of being the receiving and installation partner for the new Certus Memory Care facility in Vero Beach. As professional ff&e experts, it was exciting to be a part of a project right up the street from our corporate headquarters. Since opening their doors they have helped filled a gap in our community. In fact, every aspect of the space is designed to create calming thoughts and evoke nostalgia. The main gathering area is reminiscent of a thriving downtown from a bygone era. The lights imitate sunlight during the day and turn to a warm, cozy glow as the evening comes. Even aromas are used throughout the day to help foster for alertness and energy during the daytime and then change as night falls. It is that attention to the details families are after when searching a secure place to call home for their family members suffering from memory loss.

Recently, the team at Certus created the Certus Institute under the direction of Joshua Freitas, Ph.D., M.Ed., BC-DEd, et al. Chief Research Officer and Education Specialist, Susan Micheel, to certify local businesses on being dementia friendly. Starting with industries that often frequent the Certus-Vero Beach Campus, White Glove Moving & Storage was honored to be chosen and quickly signed up for the one-hour course. With training provided directly to the staff equipped with visuals and real-life scenario role playing, our trainers saw great value in the tips and techniques taught in the course. With much of our local moving catering to an older clientele often moving into senior communities, it was a valuable program for us to complete and brush up on the soft skills needed when engaging with customers suffering from dementia.

Though we are proud to be a trusted and preferred moving partner at Certus, the knowledge and certification gained allows our team of moving and storage pros to help with any senior relocation. Though many of those moves happen locally from home to a community or from one senior living facility to another; some require moving a loved one to another state. Fortunately, we can assist with interstate moves and are proud to offer unparalleled communication and fair pricing with the families and/or caregivers no matter the distance of one’s move. A special thank you to the Certus Institute for our additional senior moving certification; we hope to be an ongoing moving and storage resource for many years to come.

Is Tipping a Mover Customary?

May 28, 2025

At White Glove Moving & Storage we are excited to be a resource for our Treasure Coast customers doing as much or as little as they need done. In fact, with only a one hour minimum with labor billable in thirty minute increments afterwards, many clients are repeats because having help with the heavy lifting can be such a valuable service day in and day out. With that in mind, one of the most frequently asked questions is whether or not to tip the movers.

As with any tipping scenario, it is entirely up to the customer. If you feel your movers were well prepared and respectful, deserving of your extra dollars here are some standard rules of thumb:

$4-6 per man, per hour
Lump sum to split with crews of 3 or more
It can be given in cash or applied to the credit card charge (keep in mind we have no additional credit card processing fees)
Lunch or beverages are always appreciated especially in large, multi-day moves

Of course, our White Glove Moving & Storage team appreciates being chosen as your mover or go-to delivery agent. Tipping is always appreciated though not ever required.

A worthwhile alternative is to provide a 5 star review on Google and/or the BBB. When the movers are identified by name, they are recognized each month with a special bonus and this is on top of whatever gratuity was or was not given.

Each lead has a card for them to fill out their names and provides a QR code for happy customers to be able to go right to our Google page and leave their positive review.

Need help with an upcoming move? We are here for you. Just packing, just loading, full pack and move…we can do as much or as little as you need done with pricing that makes it possible and a reputation to serve that will provide peace of mind every time.

Battle of the Realtors: Supporting Little Birthday Angels

February 20, 2025

After Hurricane Milton in October of 2024, the Little Birthday Angels annual Battle of the Realtors event was postponed until the new year. As a result, more than 25 teams joined together at Vero Bowl to celebrate the good work of the organization and raise dollars through spirit competitions and as much bowling as possible in 1.5 hours. Supporting the cause as sponsors, bowlers, and emcee, White Glove Moving & Storage proudly placed second in the competitive showdown with Keller Williams of Vero Beach , who took 1st place, and Coldwell Banker Paradise led by Vance Brinkerhoff, placing 3rd.

In the end, the real winners will be the children who are going to be able to feel special on their birthdays because of the money generated through the efforts of all the teams and companies alike who gave. With hundreds of children identified as homeless through the school system, Little Birthday Angels works to ensure they are celebrated and are not forgotten on their special day. Whether it is a monthly birthday party complete with cupcakes and games at the various homeless shelters, or an individualized duffel bag with items from their wishlist and lots of essentials; they are shown love. At White Glove Moving & Storage, we understand the need and give of our time and energy to this non-profit because birthdays are important. Each month, we celebrate our team members with cards and cake. Small gestures all add up to big impacts when people, no matter their age, feel seen and appreciated. Happy to be a part of the good work being done. Until next bowling match!
