Adam Pittenger knows that moving is tough — after all, he said he moved eight times in the past seven years.Pittenger said that there are several reasons why the process can be stressful, like the fact that most people aren&t experts on moving, since they don&t do it as often as him (seriously, eight times is crazy).

Plus, there just an enormous amount of planning and coordination required, whether it hiring movers, buying packing materials or putting your things into storage.So Pittenger decided to make the whole process a lot easier by foundingMoved.

Moving, he said, &doesn&t have to be that stressful,& because with Moved, you get &a personal assistant coordinating all the aspects of your move.&Moved is announcing that it raised $3.2 million in seed funding from Lowe Ventures (the early-stage investment arm of the home improvement giant), FJ Labs, AngelPad, Real Estate Technology Ventures and others.To sign up for Moved, you fill out a questionnaire about where you&re moving to and from, and what kinds of services you need.

Moved (available via desktop web or mobile app) will then reach out to movers and provide you with multiple quotes from which you can choose.And while, as Pittenger put it, &the immediate thing you need to do is book the movers,& Moved offers a broader range of services, like ordering packing supplies, helping you donate stuff you don&t need anymore, finding a storage unit, updating your address, finding painters and more.Moving can also be expensive, so the company hasannounced a partnership with Affirm, where Affirm financing will allow you to break up the moving costs into monthly payments.To be clear, Moved isn&t doing the moving itself — instead, it basically connecting you to a marketplace of movers and other service providers.

Pittenger said the company is &very strict about the suppliers and the vendors& and will remove them if customers aren&t happy with their experience.Moved is managing all of this through a real, human assistant who can help you figure out what you need, handle the scheduling and serve as a &consumer advocate& who ensures that you&re not getting ripped off.Pittenger said the service is free for consumers, with a fee charged to vendors at the time of booking.

And it available throughout the United States.
