Posted on Martha mApril 1, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have lived at my home for the last 30years. Moving seemed like such a daunting task. Juan Sanchez and his crew were absolutely outstanding. From the moment they arrived, they were professional, organized, and ready to work. Juan led the team with confidence and made sure everything ran smoothly. The entire crew worked very efficiently, but never rushed in a way that felt careless. They handled our furniture and boxes with great care, protected our belongings, and made sure everything was placed exactly where we wanted it. Everyone on the team was respectful, friendly, and willing to go the extra mile to help. Maribeth was also wonderful throughout the entire process. She provided excellent communication, answered all of our questions, and made everything feel seamless and stress-free from start to finish. Her coordination and customer service truly made a difference and helped the move go exactly as planned. Overall, I’m extremely impressed with Juan Sanchez, his crew, and Maribeth. Their professionalism, efficiency, and attention to detail made this move such a smooth and positive experience. I really appreciate the care and hard work from everyone involved. I would absolutely recommend Southbay Moving Systems Inc. to anyone looking for a reliable and professional moving company. Thank you all again for such a great experience!Posted on Mary MFebruary 3, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had lived in the same location for over 27 years and was completely unprepared for the moving experience. My Southbay Moving coordinator was Maribeth Gunderman and she was a lifesaver. I needed guidance every step of the way and she was always patient and helpful whenever I was overwhelmed. She rescheduled my move for me several times when I ran into complications with relocating out of state, always providing options where she could help me get past each obstacle. The moving crew was professional, helpful, and efficient and got my possessions where they needed to be with little difficulty. But mostly, I cannot say enough good things about Maribeth Gunderman. Whenever I needed to be talked through a moving crisis, she was there to listen and help until I was ready to move on, and ultimately, we got it done. Many thanks.Posted on Carolyn PJanuary 9, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Maribeth Gunderman, Sales Manager at Southbay Moving Systems, is a rare find in the business world – superbly competent, kind and patient. My move involved several destinations, rescheduling three times, along with my remote location and difficult driveway access. Ms. Gunderman knew exactly how to handle all of it, often assuring me of Southbay’s experience and expertise. A part of me was skeptical of her promises until her management and the excellent crew who did the work performed above and beyond what she had led me to expect. As a business owner myself, it often occurred to me that Ms. Gunderman is an absolutely invaluable asset to the company. Southbay Moving delivered perfect service with the true caring and attention to detail that we middle-aged folk have come to believe is a thing of the past. At Southbay it is NOT! The moving crew also brought competence and caring. They were personable, and worked more quickly than any crew I’ve ever seen. (I’ve moved across the country six times.) They are not just guys the company picks up, but long-term employees. It shows. I would recommend Southbay Moving Systems for any moving job. Maribeth truly understands how stressful moving is. She not only managed the move but also "managed" my stress, not with empty promises and platitudes, but with an explicit plan, down to the smallest detail and a crew capable of delivering on them. I could have asked for nothing more. She actually made moving almost enjoyable!Posted on Mel LJanuary 8, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This moving company was absolutely awesome! The team was professional, efficient, and incredibly helpful from start to finish. They truly work with you in every way possible to make the move smooth and stress-free. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend them to anyone! I will definitely work with them again no questions asked.Posted on Bryan BDecember 10, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had an outstanding experience with South Bay Movers during our move from the San Francisco Bay Area to New York. A huge thank you to Miguel, Jose, and Mike for making what could have been a very stressful move feel smooth and well-managed from start to finish. The team was professional, punctual, and extremely careful with our belongings. They handled everything with attention to detail, clear communication, and a great attitude throughout the entire process. Nothing was rushed, nothing was careless, and they consistently checked in to make sure things were done exactly the way we wanted. Long-distance moves require trust, and Miguel, Jose, and Mike absolutely delivered. Our items arrived on time and in great condition, and their teamwork and work ethic really stood out. If you’re looking for a reliable, professional moving company with people who genuinely care about doing the job right, I highly recommend South Bay Movers and especially this crew. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.Posted on Karen JDecember 5, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Southbay warehoused and delivered a whole house of furniture for us. They were communicative, responsive, timely and very professional. We would use them again.Posted on Bob YDecember 4, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very professional personnel at ALL levels. From Maribeth who was personable, concise, and very responsive as my first contact with Southbay. To Carlos who came by and took an accurate assessment of our home and all it's contents. Then the 3 strong and polite movers who were on time, knew how to wrap, tape, and move all the items in our house, so that each item arrived at our new home ready to put in place.Posted on Jeremy TNovember 17, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Juan and his team were fantastic. The other reviews are all so positive that I was skeptical, seemed too good to be true, but everything went great.Posted on Peter BNovember 9, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Big shout out to our movers, Mike, Miguel, and Jose at Southbay moving company! They were on time, courteous, professional, and punctual! Couldn’t have asked for a better movers or moving experience. They made a stressful situation a lot easier for us and our family. Thank you again for your help!

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO MOVE FROM CALIFORNIA TO New Mexico?
The cost to move from California to New Mexico typically ranges from $2,800 to $6,500, depending on home size, services, and distance. Los Angeles to Albuquerque spans approximately 810 miles via I-40, while San Francisco to Santa Fe covers around 1,250 miles, and San Diego to Las Cruces is roughly 750 miles through I-10 and I-25. Moving costs depend on six key factors:
Volume and Weight of Items: More furniture and boxes require larger trucks and additional crew members, which increases labor hours and fuel consumption across the entire route to New Mexico.
Home Size and Accessibility: A studio apartment costs less than a four-bedroom home, while commercial relocation projects require custom quotes; narrow mountain roads, gravel driveways, or historic districts in Santa Fe may need shuttle trucks, adding expense.
Timing and Season: Summer months and month-end dates see peak demand, raising rates by fifteen to twenty-five percent, while mid-week or winter bookings offer better pricing and crew availability.
Additional Services: Professional packing services, furniture disassembly, appliance disconnection, and unpacking increase total cost but protect fragile items and reduce stress on both ends of the move.
Special or High-Value Items: Pianos, antiques, artwork, gun safes, and instruments requiring specialized piano movers need climate-controlled trucks and trained handlers, which adds to the final bill.
Distance, Fuel, and Storage: Routes like I-40 and I-25 include fuel surcharges and occasional tolls, and if your New Mexico home isn’t ready at delivery, short-term warehousing adds a monthly storage fee.

WHY DO CA RESIDENTS MOVE TO New Mexico?
Californians are moving to New Mexico for dramatic cost savings, wide-open spaces, rich cultural heritage, and a slower pace of life under Southwestern skies.
Cost of Living: New Mexico home prices average around $280,000 compared to California’s $790,000 median, and the state has no Social Security tax, offering retirees significant savings; property taxes are also lower at an average effective rate of 0.78 percent.
Jobs and Industries: Los Alamos National Laboratory, Sandia National Laboratories, film production studios in Albuquerque and Santa Fe, healthcare systems, and aerospace employers like Virgin Galactic attract California professionals seeking career growth and affordability.
California Retirees: Many CA seniors choose New Mexico for tax-friendly retirement living, cultural attractions, and mild high-desert climates, and our senior moving services make downsizing and relocation stress-free.
Military Families: California service members on PCS orders to Kirtland Air Force Base in Albuquerque, White Sands Missile Range in Las Cruces, and Cannon Air Force Base in Clovis rely on our DITY and PPM move support.
California Businesses: New Mexico’s 5.9 percent corporate tax rate compared to California’s 8.84 percent, combined with lower labor costs and business incentives, drives CA companies to relocate or expand operations in the state.
