We highly recommend Cousins Moving! We’ve used them for all of our personal moves over the years, and we’ve also referred many of our real estate clients to them with great confidence. They’ve always been professional, reliable, careful, and easy to work with. Moving can be stressful, and it makes a huge difference having a company you know you can trust with your belongings. Our clients have also had great experiences with them, which is especially important to us as Realtors because the people we recommend reflect on us as well. We’ve been very satisfied with Cousins Moving and wouldn’t hesitate to use them again or recommend them to anyone looking for a dependable moving company.

Response from the owner:Thank you, Claudio. We are so happy to always be apart of your moving experience. We hope you love your new home!

The workers arrived right on time, prepared to work in moving my beautiful antique concert grand piano to temporary storage while we have tile work done at my home. Without hesitation, they knew exactly how to break down the piano, wrapping each part in thick padding and then boxes. They were a group that worked hard but laughed and smiled for the hour that they were in my home, showing me great teamwork. I was very pleased with this company and I know that my piano will be returned in perfect condition in a month's time.

Moving from Fort Lauderdale to Georgia

Whether you love history, are moving for a job or want a change of scenery, Georgia has a rich history and thriving music scene. Of the 284,000 people who moved to the Peach State in 2019 alone, over 46,000 relocated from Florida.

Moving long-distance is a major undertaking, which is why hiring professional movers is an essential component to start life in your new home state on the right foot. We know how to plan and execute your state-to-state move.

What to Know About Georgia

Georgia is a popular state, many people have moved into the state over the past few years; with beautiful views, a booming business market and family-friendly activities it’s no wonder people are swarming there.

Weather in Georgia

After living in South Florida, you’re probably used to those hot, humid summers, which is good because Georgia has similar weather to Florida. The comfort index is slightly better in Georgia as the average summer doesn’t get quite as hot.

Cost of Living

Good news for people looking to relocate from Florida to Georgia! While the cost of living greatly depends on the city you’re in, overall Georgia’s cost of living is comparable. The difference between the two state’s cost of living is less than 1%!

Tax Differences in Georgia

While Florida doesn’t have any personal income taxes, Georgia does. However, for those near or at retirement age, Georgia does not tax social security income. For sales tax, expect an increase. The state’s base tax is 4%, and cities add an average of 3% on top of that.

Real estate tax, commonly known as property tax, is another area that is comparable between the states. However, Florida is more lenient on homestead exemptions. Georgia does give their eldery residents a break, doubling their homestead exemption options.

Georgia’s Job Market

Businesses love to call Georgia home. Over 20 Fortune 500 companies have their headquarters in the state. A combination of market access, a low cost to do business and a strong workforce bring, and keep, corporations in the Peach State.
