Moving to Chicago isn’t your average relocation adventure. Between the brutal winters, complex parking permits, and the maze of neighborhoods each with their own vibe, you need someone who knows the drill. Trust us, trying to coordinate a move during a Cubs game day or when Lollapalooza takes over Grant Park? That’s not something you want to tackle alone.
That’s where ARC comes in, making your Chicago move smoother than Lake Michigan on a calm summer morning. From the Gold Coast to Back of the Yards, we’ll help you nail down the perfect relocation services in Chicago based on what really counts — your budget and needs.
Our Services
Your company’s reputation is built on the little things — including how you handle employee relocations. One botched move can turn your star-hire’s Chicago dream into a nightmare faster than you can say “winter parking ban.”
Don’t stress about it. ARC’s got everything covered with moving services that won’t destroy your budget. We handle every detail from start to finish, ensuring your move hits all the right notes.
Corporate Relocation Services in Chicago
Many companies are moving to Chicago, and running a business is tough enough without getting tangled up in Chicago’s unique moving challenges. Whether you’re moving C-suite executives to River North or your tech team to West Loop, we handle all the heavy lifting.
Since we’re not tied to any specific real estate groups, we can hunt down the absolute best deals in town. Our team dives deep into the data to make sure you’re getting serious value for every dollar spent.
Need to relocate someone from Seoul to South Loop? No problem — our international moving game is just as strong as our local knowledge. Before we even think about boxes, we sit down with your employees for a thorough walkthrough. From budget breakdowns to neighborhood culture shock, they’ll know exactly what to expect.
Home Purchase and Sale Assistance
Chicago’s real estate market can be as unpredictable as its weather. That’s why we take this massive headache off your employees’ plates. Our team knows what makes Chicago’s housing market tick.
We’ll craft a killer marketing strategy for their current home and build a timeline that works with Chicago’s seasonal market trends. Our network includes the sharpest agents in every neighborhood – from Lincoln Park to Hyde Park. You’ll get expert guidance on everything from pricing strategies to negotiation tactics that work specifically in Chicago’s unique market.
Plus, our realtor rebate program puts cash back in your employees’ pockets from their agent’s commission after closing. That extra chunk of change helps offset Chicago’s rising moving costs.
Household Goods Move Management
Moving your household goods in Chicago requires precision timing – and we’ve mastered that art. From dealing with vintage elevator buildings to navigating Chicago’s infamous alley system, our vetted movers know every trick in the book.
They understand Chicago-specific challenges like winter weather restrictions and street cleaning schedules. We use a single point of contact system, so you’re not bouncing between different coordinators.
Your dedicated move coordinator orchestrates everything: protecting your furniture from salt damage during winter moves, getting permits for those tricky downtown loading zones, or figuring out how to get a pool table into a third-floor Wrigleyville walkup.
Every mover we work with is fully licensed, insured, and battle-tested in Chicago’s unique moving environment. They come prepared for everything from historic Greystone mansions to ultra-modern high-rises.
Temporary Housing
Finding a decent temporary spot in Chicago can feel like hunting for parking during a snowstorm. With rental prices climbing faster than Willis Tower’s elevator and inventory tighter than rush hour on the L, you need someone with connections.
We’ll hook your employees up with comfortable temporary housing that won’t demolish their relocation budget. Whether they need a furnished studio in Streeterville or a family-sized place in Lincoln Square, we’ve got options throughout the city. Our temporary housing comes with flexible terms and passes our strict quality standards.
Why Hire Relocation Services in Chicago?
Think you can handle a Chicago move with any random moving company? That’s like trying to navigate Lower Wacker Drive without GPS — technically possible, but why risk it?
Chicago’s neighborhoods each have their own personality and rules. You need experts who know that moving to Logan Square is different from moving to the Loop. Some condo associations are stricter than a Bears fan looking at quarterback stats.
We time everything perfectly because in Chicago, timing is important. Miss your window, and you might end up moving during a blizzard or stuck behind a street festival parade. Our tech keeps everyone updated in real-time, so you’re never in the dark about your move.
Local expertise matters here more than most cities. Ever tried to coordinate a move during the Air and Water Show? Or when the Pride Parade takes over Boystown? Our team knows exactly when to avoid specific neighborhoods and which alternate routes to take when the usual ones are blocked.
Chicago’s weather adds another layer of complexity to any move. Summer brings street festivals and construction season, while winter throws snowstorms and icy conditions into the mix. We plan around these challenges, ensuring your move doesn’t get derailed by a typical Chicago curveball.
Plus, each building type needs its own approach. Moving into a vintage courtyard building in Andersonville requires different equipment and strategies than relocating to a modern high-rise in River North. Our crews come prepared with specialized equipment and techniques for every scenario.
And let’s talk about parking — those city permits aren’t just a suggestion. We handle all the paperwork to reserve your moving spots, coordinate with building management, and ensure everything’s squared away with the city. Because the last thing you need is a moving truck getting ticketed or towed in the middle of your relocation.
