Getting a Quote for a 2 Bedroom Apartment Move
Hi, I’m Sam, owner of B&B Moving, and if you’re planning a move from a 2-bedroom apartment, you’re in the right place. One of the most common questions we get is: “How do I know what to list when getting a moving quote?” That’s a great question because the more detailed your inventory, the more accurate your quote will be.
In this post, I’ll walk you through how to approach your move, what movers need to know, and I’ll even share a real-world example of a 2-bedroom apartment inventory list that can help you organize your own.
Why Accurate Inventories Matter
Every move is unique. Even if two people live in similar apartments, the amount and type of furniture, boxes, and special items can vary a lot. That’s why we always recommend starting with a room-by-room breakdown of your belongings.
When you reach out for a quote, we’ll ask you for:
- A list of major furniture pieces
- An estimate of the number of boxes
- Any bulky or unusual items (TVs, rugs, gym equipment, etc.)
- Whether we’re moving items from storage areas like garages, basements, or attics
- Whether there are any stairs, elevators, or tight spaces to navigate
- Confirming if any large appliances need to be moved, as these are usually not relevant for apartment moves.
The more info you give us upfront, the fewer surprises come moving day, and the better we can plan to protect your items, assign the right crew, truck size and give you a fair and transparent estimate.

Final Tips from Sam
- Be thorough. Don’t forget outdoor gear, basement items, or anything stored in closets.
- Mention special conditions. Are there stairs? Long hallways? Limited parking? We can plan for it.
- Don’t worry about guessing weights or cubic feet. That’s our job—we just need the list!
