Hollander Moving (Est. 1888) Combats Scams with Asset-Based Reliability

Chicago's Hollander Moving (Est. 1888) leverages 137 years of history to offer safe, asset-based relocation services amidst rising industry scams.

ELK GROVE VILLAGE, IL, UNITED STATES, December 1, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- With the Better Business Bureau reporting a spike in moving scams and "hostage load" situations across the US, Chicago’s longest-running moving company, Hollander International Moving & Storage, is issuing a reminder to residents: in the digital age, history is the only metric that cannot be faked.

Celebrating its 137th year in business, Hollander is positioning its century-plus tenure not merely as a milestone, but as a crucial trust signal for residents in Barrington, Lake Forest, and the North Shore who are planning complex long-distance relocations.

"The internet has made it easy for lead-generation brokers to create a flashy website today and disappear tomorrow," says Rob Hollander, President. "We are seeing customers who are increasingly anxious about the safety of their belongings. Our message is simple: We have been here since 1888. We aren't going anywhere. When you hire a company that has survived two World Wars and the Great Depression, you are buying certainty."

The Return to "Asset-Based" Moving The industry is currently divided between "virtual brokers" (who own no trucks) and "asset-based movers." Hollander, a top-tier agent for United Van Lines and Mayflower Transit, operates its own fleet and employs generational crews. This distinction is critical for long-distance movers handling interstate moves, where chain-of-custody issues frequently occur with lesser-known carriers.

Meeting the Standards of Chicago’s Executive Market Hollander’s longevity has made it the preferred partner for Chicago’s high-net-worth families and corporate relocations. The company has adapted its 19th-century service ethos for 21st-century needs, offering:

Virtual "Tech-Enabled" Surveys: Preventing pricing disputes by using video technology to accurately inventory goods before a truck ever arrives.

International Expertise: Navigating post-pandemic shipping complexities for families moving abroad.

Secure Chain of Custody: Ensuring that from Elk Grove Village to the final destination, the client knows exactly who has their keys.

"You can fake a 5-star review, but you can't fake 137 years of operation," adds Hollander. "For families in Hinsdale, Winnetka, and Glenview, we offer the one thing a broker cannot: accountability."

Residents looking for a verified Chicago moving company are invited to verify Hollander’s credentials and request a transparent, binding estimate.
