Getting a home ready to show means the seller's furniture going out, staging furniture coming in, and all of it moving again after the sale. University Van Lines does each of those moves with one crew: the seller's furniture out and into storage in our Rahway warehouse, the stager's furniture in and set for showings, out again after the sale, and then the family's move.
We are the movers, not the stager. We do not own, rent or supply staging furniture. We move and place the furniture your stager provides.
How a staging move works
We pack what needs packing, load the furniture that is leaving the house, and store it in sealed wooden vaults in our own warehouse in Rahway. Each vault is inventoried.
We bring the stager's furniture into the home and set each piece where the stager wants it for photos and showings.
After the sale, we take the staging furniture out of the home and back to the stager.
We bring the seller's own furniture out of storage and move the family into their next home.
Who it is for
One call covers the furniture side of getting a listing ready, so your seller is not lining up a mover, a storage unit and a stager separately.
You bring the design and the furniture. We bring the truck, the pads and the crew, place each piece where you want it, and come back to take it out.
Your own furniture stays with one company from the day it leaves the house to the day it is delivered to your next home.

Why one company
Family-run since 1975. Our own crews and our own trucks, working out of our own warehouse in Rahway, fully licensed and insured. The crew that loads the seller's furniture is the same operation that stores it and delivers it to the next home, and we provide certificates of insurance for condo, co-op and apartment buildings.
Crews run Monday to Saturday. The office is open 7am to 5pm, Monday to Friday.
Questions
No. University Van Lines is a moving and storage company. We do not own, rent or supply staging furniture. We move, place and remove the furniture your home stager provides, and we store the seller's own furniture while the home is on the market.
