How to Find a Rental Home In Portland, Oregon

Renting in Portland is not as easy as it once was. The rental market has been exceptionally tight for several years and it seems to be getting even tighter. Where once a family could find an affordable house to rent in the Hawthorne district, those homes have largely been renovated and sold.

I had a great experience with Priority…Josh and Tony were consummate professionals and took the time to wrap and prepare my stuff thoroughly and completely before putting it in the truck so there were no mishaps or damage to my belongings along the way..or at the unloading location..i will definitely use this company again

Michael and his team were super friendly and professional. They unloaded our one bedroom, second floor apartment in less time than expected and got my upright piano up the stairs without issue. Made moving from AZ to OR a million times easier!

Shawn and big guy Bill did an exceptional job. I’d give them ten+ stars if I could. They both had such positive attitudes and were very knowledgeable. Shawn was whistling the whole time. It was the best low-stress move I’ve ever had, and I’m 70 so I’ve had a few moves in my lifetime! Ask for the senior discount if you’ve been around for a few decades. …cough. GREAT work!

Josh, Gage, and Tony helped me and my son move from our home. They were super nice and made sure everything was protected. Unfortunately they weren’t able to get everything in one truckload but was so grateful for the help.

Angela A.

1778807758

Great team! This was our first experience using movers and it was completely worth it. We did most of our move a couple weeks ago, but still needed to move over a piano, some shelves, and the last of the boxes. They got back to us quickly to get scheduled, and were able to find a spot within a few days. The guys came in and were professional and efficient and made it look effortless! They took care with everything, and even took the time to rearrange some things in the garage to make extra room. We will definitely keep them in mind for future moves!

We had such a fantastic experience with Priority Moving! They helped move us out of our condo in Portland and all the way up to Seattle, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience.They arrived right on time, got straight to work, and were incredibly efficient without ever feeling rushed or careless. Everything was handled with care, and they stayed organized and focused the entire time—no downtime or wasted effort.What really stood out, though, was their attitude. Even with our air conditioning not working (which made for a long, warm day!), they remained positive, friendly, and professional throughout the entire process. They made what could have been a stressful day feel smooth and manageable.We’re so grateful for their hard work and would absolutely recommend Priority Moving to anyone looking for reliable, kind, and hardworking movers. Thank you for making our move such a great experience!

Sean, Colby and Gage did a fantastic job getting our move done in a good time frame. We had difficult stairs at both moving locations and they did amazing making sure not to damage any products or buildings. Would use priority moving again if needed!

Veruca C.

1777428257

This company is great! I sent them a message on their website and I was contacted by Michael that same day, unlike most other places that I just never heard back from. Some places gave us okay quotes but this place was the most honest, friendly and easy to talk to. We had three movers to help us. Eddie was great at talking us through the process and making sure that everything was exactly how I wanted it even if I changed my mind about where I wanted something, he was happy to make sure I knew it could be taken care of. He really knows what he’s doing and I felt very reassured by all of them that day, Gage and Logan were both very friendly and good at communicating with us. They were also fast and careful with wrapping our stuff and it didn’t take them long to be able to move my huge dresser and couch down three flights of half turn stairs. They made difficult problem solving look so easy. Every question I asked them they answered with a smile and I feel like all of my belongings were handled with care. They moved so much more than what’s in the pictures but everything arrived in the same condition it left in. I think that the price was very fair for the incredible work they did. They say no hidden fees and they really mean it! I will definitely recommend this company to anyone I hear looking for movers! Thank you all so much for making it easy for us to move 🙏

Update April 2026:Used Priority Moving again for load out services into a Pod and they were incredible from start to finish. Professional, thoughtful, and kind.Kobey, Tony, and Josh were a top notch team. They arrived on time and took care of everything!Second time using Priority Moving and I'd still recommend their services to everyone for any kind of move.---------September 2023:We had an incredible experience with Priority Moving!Michael helped with the planning and coordinating on the front end. I appreciated the thoughtful questions and transparency when it came to receiving a quote and ensuring they understood our needs.We even had to reschedule our move due to a delay from the place we were moving into and Michael both reassured me that he’d take care of us and was able to get us rescheduled with EASE! Within 5 minutes of calling, I already had a rescheduling confirmation in my email. Very efficient!When it came to moving day, the crew was efficient and friendly! Sam, Fernando, and Shawn powered through and handled everything with the utmost care.We were moving out of a 3 story apartment with a windy stairwell and into a 2-story townhouse - that’s no easy feat!At the end of our block of time, the total price was the exact amount that was quoted - no surprises!I would recommend Priority Moving to ANYONE!

Kelly H

1775828449

I hired a 5 man crew with two trucks. Those guys worked for 11 hours getting my storage units cleared out and our stuff into our new addition. They also packed the remainder into our garage when I realized it wasn't all going to fit! They were careful with my things and asked where boxes and furniture went when it wasn't obvious. Couldn't have asked for a better crew and I am deeply grateful for their help. This is the second time we've had them move us and if we need to again, they will be the first we call.

Priority movers are super efficient, reliable and on time. I had two movers from priority movers, John and Tyler they showed up on time, gave me sufficient notice before coming and also followed up with another call just to let me know they were here. I was worried about hiring a moving company and if things may go wrong on last day with busy schedules but Tyler and John made it possible without much stress. They are patient and I must say that they have been so helpful with my smooth transfer I booked for three hours however they did the move in just two hours, I recommend priority movers. Thank you so much ☺️

Jon and Melissa T.

1775443326

Efficient & Honest Company.This my first time using a moving company. So glad I hired Priority Moving! Micheal was excellent to work with - great, pleasant, and timely communicator about what to expect from their company. The movers were careful, friendly, and fast; took care to protect our belongings and covered our floors and stairs during the move. In addition, the final cost (based on hourly usage) was exactly what I was quoted by Micheal and I got a new customer discount. I highly recommend Priority Moving.

The Priority Moving guys were extremely efficient, professional, and positive in their attitudes the entire move. They were quick, focused, and took the utmost care with both our belongings and the walls and floors of both the house we were moving out of and the house we were moving into. We are beyond satisfied- we are impressed! 10/10, would most definitely hire again. Thank you so much to the crew, and to Priority Moving for having such wonderful employees.

They were wildly helpful, fast, and smart movers. Tony and Tyler came in got what was needed done with great senses of humor and ensured all our things were where we wanted them to be long term. Our house has some narrow steep stairs and they did an excellent job navigating them without any damage to our furniture or our home. Michael was really kind and fair in his pricing and they provide a veterans discount which was really wonderful for my husband and I. Overall could not reccomend them enough and if we move again we will be calling them first!

I recently used Priority Moving Services for my move, and I honestly couldn’t be more satisfied with the experience. From the moment I scheduled the service to the final item being placed in my new space, everything was handled with professionalism, efficiency, and genuine care.The team arrived on time, came fully prepared, and worked quickly while still being extremely careful with all of my belongings. They handled my furniture, boxes, and fragile items with great attention to detail, making sure everything was properly protected, wrapped, and transported safely. What really stood out was their organization, teamwork, and positive attitude throughout the entire process, they made what is usually a stressful experience feel smooth and hassle-free.A very special shoutout to Eddie, Elijah, and Fernando for their outstanding service. They were incredibly respectful, friendly, and hardworking from start to finish. They went above and beyond to ensure everything was moved exactly where I wanted it, checked in to make sure I was satisfied, and made the whole experience comfortable and stress-free. Their dedication, efficiency, and professionalism truly exceeded my expectations.If you’re looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and efficient moving company that genuinely cares about their customers and their belongings, I highly recommend Priority Moving Services. I would absolutely use them again and confidently recommend them to anyone planning a move. Thank you again for the excellent service!

This review is overdue (from October)! We hired Priority after using them for our last move and being extremely impressed with their service and professionalism. We needed two safes moved into pods, in addition to the home, garage, and shed for a cross-country adventure. Shawn, Fernando B, Josh O, and Elijah were our movers and they did a wonderful job!

Priority Moving provided a great service and was well worth the expense. I hadn't moved in 15 years and was apprehensive about the process but I'm getting older and wasn't about to try moving everything with myself and a couple of friends (who are also getting older) this time around. Nigel and Billy showed up early, were very friendly and professional, got all my furniture and other non-boxed items covered in moving blankets, shrink wrapped and into the truck in an amazing amount of time. It would taken me a couple of days to do everything they did in a couple of hours. The whole process was about as painless as it could be. When we got to the new place, they were just as professional. I was a little worried since the new place can be a little hard to find and they arrived barely 5 minutes after I had gotten there. I told them where I wanted items placed and they had the entire truck unloaded and into the new apartment in a little over an hour. No items broken or damaged, everything arrived intact. I will definitely use Priority Moving Services again and already recommended them to a friend who's moving in the spring. Highly recommend their services.

Jeremy Z.

1765829028

These guys were polite, efficient and gentle with all of our stuff. Total cost was 1000.00. If you find that expensive they you don't value your back or time. It took 3 guys 4 hours to get all of our really big stuff. I would highly recommend them

Laurin M.

1765577336

I chose Priority Moving after an extensive Google search. It’s not easy to find a mover that is honest, personable & professional, and willing to help you meet your budget requirements. This was the ONLY business I found that didn’t have endless complaints on the BBB site. The only complaint they had was clearly from a difficult customer. I was happy to find a local mover to help us move from OR to TX. The communication & planning support we received from Michael went far above my expectations. Moving halfway across the country is a BIG event and costs a lot more than one would hope. Michael, however, worked close with us to determine what would work best for us. The crew of 4 that arrived at our house was efficient, pleasant to work with (esp on what could have been a very stressful day) & somehow fit everything we want to pack in the trucks! John & Shawn drove 4 days to meet us in TX on our moving day! We didn’t have to wait weeks for our belongings to arrive like other companies/services are known for. Once again, John & Shawn were upbeat & enjoyable to be around on such an exhausting day! All of our belongings arrived safely, with the exception of an antique mirror that lost a screw during the long trip. Despite that, the mirror stayed intact and was easily put back together. I cannot recommend Priority Moving enough. Our of 5 ⭐️, I give them 10! Thank you, Crew, you were amazing to work with!!!

Priority Moving Services are always great to work with. This was the second time using them, and they’re still just as efficient and just as professional as the first. Josh, Eddie, and Tony were punctual and friendly. All three knew what they were doing and couldn’t have asked for more. The logistics of the move was labor intensive but they all went above and beyond to make it happen. I’ll definitely recommend them to anyone who needs to move!

Thank you guys for handling our second move in just a little over a year. We appreciate how much care you take wrapping our furniture, protecting the carpet with runners, handling our oddball heavy stuff for us with kindness, and most of all your positive attitudes throughout a long move day. It's such hard work, but you shrug it off with a great customer service attitude, though we know it's a challenge. Thanks so much! Highly recommend Priority Moving Services.

Priority Moving made a day we had been dreading into an overall positive experience. From the owner’s Josh and Michael to the team leads to the hard-working crew, every person played a key role in making this such a successful move for our family.Punctual, professional, and just super easy to work with. I would call on Priority Moving again without any hesitation.
