Making Moving Fun & Engaging

September 9, 2025

White Glove Moving & Storage is proud to be a trusted moving, storage, receiving, and delivery partner serving the Treasure Coast and Florida. As an Interstate agent with Bekins Vanlines, we are able to be a local resource for new neighbors coming into and leaving Florida. Best part, we are able to ensure they have an A+ experience from start to finish by utilizing strong communication and trained staffers from our team as well as from those of other vetted Bekins agents throughout the nation.

Though we do not buy much large media advertising or underwrite large sports teams to help promote our brand, we do support local causes and groups. In fact, it was a busy summer with a jam packed fall ahead. In an effort to support education, environment, and empowerment of all age groups; we are thrilled to provide a recap of some of our big events that have transpired and are set to occur.

Attainable Housing of St. Lucie County is funded by the local realtors association and helps qualifying families with their dollars for closing costs. It is a grant of $2500 and more than 30 families annually benefit. White Glove proudly stepped as a Gold sponsor again and hosted a fun filled tent with a golf team who proudly came in 2nd place.

Transportation comes in a variety forms and White Glove is proud to sponsor the Stuart Martin Chamber Aviation Update luncheon annually. More than 125 people attended and we were able to highlight moving trends as it correlates with jobs and growth in the Aviation sector.

Every real estate is different and the brokers in charge have a lot to do with an office’s success. It was a privilege to serve as the moderator and sponsor alongside the Women’s Council of Realtors Stuart Network to give a platform to three very different brokers and the methods they enlist to motivate and educate.

Teaming up with other trusted and respected affiliates makes it more cost effective and fun to showcase what we all do. This year, the Realtors Association of Indian River County collaborated with the Spirit of Sebastian for an after hours event. With the help of 11 affiliates ranging from home inspection to title and everything in between we had guests enjoy a great sampling of food, drink, and information.

As a group with the Martin County Realtors of the Treasure Coast we helped clean up a local park and together we gathered more than 200 lbs of trash!

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.

What Goes in What Box?

May 7, 2025

Are you planning a move and wanting to get a head start on the packing? For many, it is a great time to start sorting what you want to keep versus donate or throw away. For others, it is simply an easier task to do than the heavy lifting itself and helps to cut down on the overall expense of the move. With that in mind, knowing what to put in each box can be very helpful.

Additionally, it is important to remember that all boxes or bins must be fully closed for stacking. Another helpful tip is to label the boxes and if possible, provide the room you want the boxes placed in. On move day, at destination you can then go around with tape and paper to label the rooms. This will ensure your moving crew can easily put boxes in the spaces you want it placed making your settling in that much easier.

Here are examples of what goes into each box:

Best part, when you setup for a free estimate with White Glove Moving & Storage, we can help you figure out how many of each size box would be needed from what we see at the time of the survey. From there, we have discounted packages for buying boxes in bulk and many other perks. Looking forward to hearing from you and happy packing!

Wishing Everyone a Wonderful Holiday Season!

November 21, 2024

On behalf of the White Glove Moving & Storage team, we are so proud of the work we do and being top of mind for your relocation or heavy lifting needs.

We will be closed on Christmas and New Years Day, with limited hours on Christmas and New Year’s Eve. However, we are available anytime outside of those days to assist with as much or as little packing, storage, moving, or assembly help as needed.

Thank you for your ongoing trust and referrals. To learn a bit more, please check out this fun interview we did in conjunction with a live move.

Top Producer Panel 2024

August 9, 2024

In Florida, the real estate market is shifting and slowing. Recently, the Women’s Council of Realtors of Stuart-Martin conducted a Top Producers Panel at the beautiful Sandhill Cove Retirement Living campus. Six of the region’s most established and leadership oriented agents participated to share their insights and advice to a sold out audience.
As a trusted affiliate with the organization, White Glove Moving & Storage was happy to help support the event as a sponsor and moderator of the panel questions. Anna Valencia Tillery, Director of Marketing for White Glove, invited each panelist up to the stage one by one with the help of their bios beginning with:

Christy Bearse, CPA, ABR®, CLHMS™ GUILD™, GRI, PSA, REALTOR® who we learned came to Florida in 1992 and has a love of numbers having earned her Bachelor’s degree in accounting from Bentley University in Waltham, Massachusetts. With a forte in representing golf communities and waterfront, Christy is the Martin County Realtors of the Treasure Coast (MCRTC) President-Elect and was named 2012 REALTOR® of the Year for Martin County Realtors® of the Treasure Coast, who just so happens to love all dogs and bicycling.

Roz DeGraff, celebrating 22 years in the business is a renowned Treasure Coast top producer and holds a Certified Residential Specialist (CRS) designation while also being certified in Senior Real Estate, Distressed properties, and Luxury Home Specialist. Prior to real estate, Roz was as valued Delta upper management professional overseeing the Service, Sales, and Training departments yet much of her heart belongs to our nation’s proud veterans and her husband of 35 years, Roger. They are members Vietnam Veterans of America, Martin County Chapter 1041 and assisted in facilitating the Commemorative Bricks sale and installation in Stuart’s Memorial Park and the Military of Purple Heart Memorial inside Indian Riverside Park.

John Gonzalez is the managing broker of Engel & Völkers Stuart who, as a young boy, accompanied his father on his appointments to preview homes and development sites throughout South Florida and the Treasure Coast. Along the way, John owned a successful food service business, served as an investment advisor, and was the vice president of a large regional bank. Originally licensed to sell real estate in 1981, he returned to the estate industry in 2003 and has been holding key leadership roles within the industry ever since including being the 2019 MCRTC President and RPAC chair.

Susan Maxwell, proudly celebrating 20 years in real estate has multiple designations including: Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist, Certified Listing Professional, Certified distressed property specialist. In addition to being a loving mother and wife, she is the lead agent in a team of 8 Realtors in addition to an admin and marketing specialist, in all closing about 135 transaction per year. In her free time, she enjoys reading, running and boating and most recently, golf.

With over 41 years of experience in the world of real estate, HB Warren with the Keyes Company offered up his expertise as an agent who works almost exclusively in residential and rental properties yet comes from an extensive background of master planning large community developments. In the industry, HB’s leadership roles include: Florida Realtors District 3 Vice President, FR Land Use and Sustainable Development Chair, FR Resort and Second Home Chair, MCRTC Past-President, President, President Elect, Vice President, Director, Strategic Planning, Government Affairs, Golf/Habitat for Humanity, RPAC, Awards, Finance, Nominating, Holiday Event Task Force, Value Proposition Task Force, Public Relations Task Force, and Commercial Task Force. He and his wife of 41 years have been residents of Martin County for over 30 years and feel fortunate to witness the growth of this charming coastal community.

Lastly, Andy Spears, MCRTC 2021 and 2022 President of MCRTC and 2022 Realtor of the Year, is a skilled negotiator with an MBA from Carnagie Mellon University, The Wharton School. He Specialties in residential, investment property, waterfront, boating and golf communities and relocation. Andy was raised in Martin County and is graduate of Martin County High School and the University of Florida.

The questions covered topics ranging from the value of working on a real estate team to methods of handling the real estate market downturns. Interestingly, each panelist embraced an appreciation for technology and modern outlooks while keeping the human aspect of every transaction at the root of their success. Whether in the world of real estate or within civic groups, all the panelists found value in taking on leadership roles and establishing themselves as experts has gotten them additional business as well as exposure over the years.

White Glove was able to share some its value by offering up numbers strategically placed at each table and giving the fresh basil plant serving as the centerpieces to the lucky winner in the chair that had the hidden number on it. 22 represented the company’s number of years in business, perfecting its craft. 0 was for the cost of an estimate whether in person or virtually. 133 was the length of time our interstate vanline, Bekins, has been around offering up long-distance moving services. $1200 gave guests an idea of the average cost for a local move. Whereas, 52 showcased the number of employees and livelihoods we support and 30+ highlighted the number of charities and organization we collaborate with. Yet, it was the final number of 16 that bore repeating because it gives peace of mind to customers should items need to stay on a truck due to hiccups at closing or for the assurance that large jobs can be done in one fell swoop as needed. It was impactful to make that point and then show off the new edition of Treasure Coast Home & Living with assorted sized trucks from the White Glove Moving & Storage fleet adorning the cover.

With a delicious lunch, impressively renovated venue , top producing agents, quality guests, and a well constructed committee, the event was well executed and will be a memorable learning experience for all who attended.

Be in the Know with the Treasure Coast Insider

June 13, 2024

Without a doubt, the Treasure Coast is a wonderful and special place to live. From celebrating the arts to beautiful parks and beaches, this region on Florida is just a couple of hours away from theme parks and airports giving folks the best of all aspects of life and leisure. Yet, perhaps the philanthropic nature of our community is what helps set us apart most. That is why, at White Glove Moving & Storage, we take great pride in hosting a weekly talk show highlighting where to go, what to try, and how to give back in the three county area. Various guests join the program and highlight the activities they have planned, specials that are sure to entice, accolades to give, and more. Even with summer here, there is much to do and explore. Join our Director of Marketing, Anna Valencia Tillery each week for a chance to be in the know. Here’s a recap of some of the more recent shows brought to you by your trusted treasure coast movers:

True Colors Has Awesome Father’s Day Specials & More

Spirits, Crafts & Laughs…One Day.

Martin Arts Summer Fun

Spirts, Crafts & Laughs

June 7, 2024

2024 has had some great successes when it comes to the world of real estate. In Florida, eight new insurance providers have entered into the marketplace. As it stands, that makes home insurance a little more competitive and we no longer have to rely on Citizens. Hence, prices are stabilizing and in another year or so, hopefully will start going down. Leadership in Florida recently posted about some wins:

Then, something that affects so many businesses, is the reduction of business rent tax. Of course, all this advocacy requires funding and RPAC helps with that.

Here are the levels that realtors are able to invest at that are on a Major Investor platform. Yet, many want to contribute and can’t commit to those higher dollar amounts. Hence, the $99 dollar club and fair share giving of just $25.

Conveniently, the event hosted with the MCRTC Association, Part of District 3, allows the funds for each ticket purchased to go directly to the recipient’s annual investment. Thanks to the generous support of the five sponsors for Spirits, Crafts & Laughs, the cost of the event is covered. Guests can expect a delicious dinner catered by Michelina’s, a terrific array of drinks options provided by our host venue of Frazier Creek, and three featured comedians. It is going to be a night of fun had by all, an experience and camaraderie with fellow invested realtors from the region. RSVP today. White Glove Moving & Storage is proud to help support this event and mission.

May is National Moving Month

May 14, 2024

May is such a wonderful time of the year. Here, in Florida, kids graduate from school and/or begin to prepare for summer break. Nationally, we celebrate all Moms the 2nd Sunday of the month. In fact, it is a theme White Glove Moving fully embraces and had fun throughout the Treasure Coast highlighting moms during our presentations leading up to the holiday. This included tying in moms of the animal kingdom, humankind, and moving details for our Palm City Chamber and St. Lucie Realtor events. In Martin County, the realtors association allowed White Glove to host Market Watch and we tied in fun facts about Mother’s Day along with moving and storage; each volunteer always takes home a prize. Then, in Stuart for the Future of Aviation panel hosted by the Stuart Chamber of Commerce, White Glove Moving was able to incorporate some Fact and Fiction fun about the companies each panelist represented and blended those details into moving and storage while also giving away some worthwhile Mother’s Day inspired gifts. Better yet, June 28th, we will be one of the sponsors for the Motherhood Exhibit captured by Jolee Art & Photography; click to learn more. Additionally, at the end of each May, we pay homage to those who have given the ultimate sacrifice to protect our freedoms during Memorial Day. It is a busy month, full of bright and happy colors; maybe that is the reason it is also considered national moving month…because people are out and about making plans and embracing change.

Throughout much of the nation, as May brings the sunshine, house sales tick up. Whereas in Florida the heat and humidity is what increases. Though historically we have seen a slow down, post covid we notice that the demand for moving and storage in the Treasure Coast has stabled during the summer months. In fact, with more people staying in their homes remodeling is on the rise. Even with the items being shifted into garages, spare rooms, or into our climate controlled facility, having professional movers is a must. The items are all properly protected and moved in mere hours, it is worthwhile and cost effective. As always, no matter how big or far your moving needs may be; it is always a free estimate. 772-778-4750

Yet, as the demand for moving services rise for many during the summer months, so does the ability to prey on unsuspecting folks by rogue and predatory fraudulent moving brokers. Recently, a situation occurred with a local realtor in the Treasure Coast to a customer of hers who booked online with the cheapest mover she could find versus taking the recommendation of her agent to use a reputable and real moving company. Interestingly enough, the bid for us to move her versus what the rogue movers quoted was just $400 difference yet in the end, with their scare tactics and ransom demands, she paid more than $2k more…here’s an impromptu Q&A the realtor asked us to help with after the horrific experience was over for her client.

RPAC Fundraiser was a Success!

January 22, 2024

Since 1969, the REALTORS® Political Action Committee (RPAC) has promoted the election of pro-REALTOR® candidates across the United States. The purpose of RPAC is clear: voluntary contributions made by REALTORS® are used to help elect candidates who understand and support their interests. These are not members’ dues; this is money given freely by REALTORS® in recognition of the importance of the political process. The REALTORS® Political Action Committee and other political fundraising are the keys to protecting and promoting the real estate industry.

In August of 2023, the Martin County Realtors of the Tresure Coast hosted their annual membership appreciation and RPAC fundraiser at the esteemed Elliott Museum in Stuart. With multiple silent and live auction items to bid on, the well-attended event helped to bring in over $5k for RPAC.

As a friendly competition, the association added an award for the affiliate company and real estate office that was able to bring in the most dollars based on their donations. With over $500 raised from the donation of a smoothie truck party and designer hurricane candle holders, White Glove Moving & Storage was thrilled to be given the trophy for the affiliate category.

As a moving and storage company, realtors are referral partners that we value and the importance of real estate as an industry is vital to the Treasure Coast. At White Glove, we are pleased to support the productiveness of real estate. It is an honor to be recognized as a supporter of RPAC and we look forward many more years of participation.
