Moving after decades in one home is as much sorting as lifting. Our crews work at the pace the move needs — helping decide what goes, packing it, and setting up the new place so the first night feels like home.
Downsizing without the overwhelm
Marisol Vega in the 1st Priority Movers office helps plan the timeline, and the crew handles the day with care. We are used to 55+ communities and senior living across the San Antonio area, where elevators, time windows, and a calm pace matter.
- Sort room by room — keep, move, donate, or store, no rush
- Pack and label everything, including the kitchen and the keepsakes
- Place furniture and unpack essentials so the bed, TV, and kitchen work day one
- Coordinate with retirement-community move-in hours and elevator reservations
- Haul donations to local charities and clear out what is left behind
- Short-term climate-controlled storage for anything family decides on later
One written rate, no day-of surprises
Families managing a parent’s move do not need a truck running an hourly meter all afternoon in the heat. We quote a flat written rate up front so the cost is settled before the first box is taped — the same way we price a full house move.
How a senior move runs
- Plan first. We walk the home, measure for the new floor plan, and set a calm timeline with the family.
- Sort and pack. The crew packs while you decide what moves — donations and discards sorted as we go.
- Move and place. Furniture set where it belongs, beds reassembled, boxes unpacked to the level you want.
- Settle the rest. Donations delivered, leftovers cleared, and storage arranged for anything undecided.

What It Runs
A two-mover team runs $110/hr (two-hour minimum); a three-mover team is $150/hr, and bigger jobs lock one flat figure on paper before we start
Two of our own W-2 movers, a padded truck, dollies, shrink wrap and moving blankets — the entire San Antonio job folded into a single Texas rate.
