Larry Hoffe
Founder - Owner - Operator
Larry had several years experience working for other moving companies before we started The Honest Mover.
He and Cynthia used his experiences to plan and build a better moving company. Simple, Honest, Straight Forward and Hard Working.
Larry knows that even though moving is a relatively simple task, all the other things that happen in and around a move play a significant role in a successful move.
Knowing how to plan, what to expect and how to respond, with proper care and attention to detail is what keeps our customers coming back and recommending Larry, The Honest Mover, to their friends and family.
As one of the 'book-ends' in this successful Family Moving Business, Larry trains and supports our staff. Sharing his experience and wisdom, teaching the secrets to moving success so no matter which of our extended family members arrives to manage your moving day, it will be the same as if Larry is there himself!
Move Manager 1
First Lead Mover
Move Manager 1 has been with us since 1988.
When we added our second truck we faced a big challenge!
Larry can only drive one truck at a time! Thankfully MM1 was and continues to be here to put us at ease.
His drive and enthusiasm made him a quick learner. Commitment to customer satisfaction makes him a valued member of our extended family.
We count on MM! every day to deliver The Honest Mover Moving Experience and you can too!
Light on his feet, quick witted, conscientious and able to resolve any challenge that comes up are some of the many reasons MM1 rose to a lead position here at The Honest Mover and why you can rest easy on your moving day.
Move Manager 2
2nd Lead Mover
Around 1990, we realized we had another incredible Team Member and knew we should buy another truck so MM2 could run his own crew and we could keep up with the increased demand for our services.
MM2 has his own unique way of talking with customers and we often hear how he makes the day go by in a blink. His keen sense of timing, strong back and personality all contribute to the kind of moving experience we want you to have. You might be tempted to keep MM2 for yourself, but we need him back so all of our customers will be happy!
When he's not playing hockey, coaching hockey, playing baseball or volunteering at the local Scout troop, MM2 can be found on the water fishing or just hanging out with his wife and kids at their home right here in Durham Region.
Cynthia Hoffe
Co-founder - Owner - Operator
Managing the business so our crew(s) can focus on delivering you the Best Moving Experience is a full time task and Cynthia has the experience that keeps our reputation growing stronger with each and every move.
As the other "book-end" she keeps the team together, on track and on time!
Cynthia knows every aspect of the moving business and she knows what you need for a successful move.
If she wasn't so darned good at her job, we might make mistakes and she's so dedicated if such a mistake demanded an extra hand at your move, you can be sure she'd be there and the boys would have to run to keep up!

What Really Matters
You, your family and yor home! That's what really matters!

It's really that simple and that's what we do.
We've done it for over 25 years. Sure it sounds Easier Said than Done and of course it is, but we're not afraid of hard, honest work. We care about our family and this is a family business, so when we take care of your family, we're actually looking after our own.
We take the extra time and care to make sure we plan for every move as if it were our own. By planning for the things that might go wrong we help ensure your moving day is smooth. Let's face it, something could go wrong. How we manage and resolve any challenge makes a difference. False confidence has no place in the moving business. Planning, Experience, Expertise and a 'Can Do' attitiude are what make for a successful moving day.
How Do We Deliver?
With trucks of course! (just kidding)
We deliver on our promise of the best moving experience by enabling you to prepare for your day.
All moves are scheduled when our crews are available. We don't over-book, don't hire temporary help or day labourers so we don't have tired and careless over-worked staff.(book early)
We don't discount! Our prices are fair and they reflect what it costs to do the job right. We won't compromise our reputation to book an extra move or win the job. This may be the first time you use our service but it's not the first time we've done our job. You can trust us to do the job right. We'll earn your trust, but we won't try to buy it with discounts!
Our fleet is properly maintained at all times and we have both plans and resources to deal with unexpected occurences. So we show up on time,.start on time and finish on time!
We work for you and with you. It's a team effort with the same objective.
To move your family into a new home!
