28-foot Freightliner
Our largest truck, for homes up to five bedrooms. Full air suspension for a smoother ride, a cab that seats five movers, and side doors for tight access.
Luxury & Estate Moving
White-Glove Luxury and Estate Movers
Three, four, five and six bedroom homes, estates and the pieces inside them. Elite packs the whole home, protects it, moves it and places every piece, with our own crew from the first room to the last.
The Service
Full-service moving for larger homes and estates
Elite Movers & Packing Services moves 3 to 6 bedroom homes and estates across Ventura, Santa Barbara and Los Angeles counties. On a full pack move our crew packs the home, wraps every piece of furniture, moves it, unpacks, and places it in the room you want it in.
Before anything moves, floors and door jambs are protected and any existing mark is recorded on time-stamped video. Art and climate-sensitive pieces travel in our climate-controlled van, and steep driveways and gated roads are handled with a shuttle to the big truck.
Elite is family operated since 2010, licensed and insured, and sends its own background-checked crew. If you are between homes, we hold everything in our own secure storage until the new home is ready.

Steep Drives, Gates and Overhangs
When the truck cannot reach the house
Many estate homes sit up a steep driveway, behind a gate, or under trees that a full-size moving truck cannot clear. On those moves Elite parks the truck at the bottom and shuttles everything up and down in our ProMaster 3500, the largest van made, which carries about a bedroom and a half on every trip.
We do this regularly in Montecito and Beverly Hills. Because the van is climate controlled, it is also how art and climate-sensitive pieces travel.
On Move Day
How a white-glove move runs
Six steps, the same on every Elite move, from the email the day before to the last piece placed in the new home.
Get a Luxury Move Quote- 01
The day before
You get a reminder email the day before the move, so you know who is coming and when.
- 02
On the way
We text you on the morning of the move when the crew is about 20 minutes out.
- 03
Arrival and walkthrough
The crew knocks, walks the home with you, and parks the truck where it works for you and your neighbors.
- 04
Protection first
Safety gear and cones go out, floors get runners and door jambs get pads. Any mark that is already there is recorded on time-stamped video before a single piece moves.
- 05
Wrap, pack and load
Every piece is pad-wrapped before it leaves the room. On a full pack move the crew packs the home room by room, so nothing is left for you to box up.
- 06
Placed and checked
At the new home each piece goes to the room you want it in, and at the end of the day the crew checks that every piece is placed and nothing is missing.
Our Fleet
The right truck for the size of the home
26-foot Freightliner
For homes up to four bedrooms, with a 5,000 lb liftgate and a ramp for heavy pieces, and air suspension as well.
Ram ProMaster 3500
Our climate-controlled van carries about a bedroom and a half. It shuttles between the big truck and the house where a truck cannot reach, and carries art and climate-sensitive pieces.
The Pieces That Matter Most
Art, pianos, antiques and heavy pieces
Fine art and sculpture
Wrapped, crated where a piece needs it, and carried in our climate-controlled van.
Grand pianos
Baby grands and concert grands on piano boards, including lifts to an upper floor.
Antiques and heirlooms
Corner-protected, wrapped and custom-crated in-house when a piece needs it.
Safes, hot tubs and heavy pieces
Heavy and awkward pieces moved with our own liftgate trucks and equipment.
Between Homes
Storage between closings
When the closing dates do not line up, Elite picks up from the home you are leaving, holds everything in our own secure, climate-controlled storage warehouse, and delivers to the new home when it is ready. The same crew handles your things at both ends.
About our storageQuestions Before Booking
Luxury and estate moving FAQs
Do you pack the whole house on a luxury move?
Yes. On a full pack move Elite’s crew packs the home room by room, wraps every piece of furniture, moves it, and places it in the right room at the new home. You can also choose a move where you pack some rooms yourself and we pack the rest.
Can your trucks get up a steep driveway or a gated estate road?
Often the big truck cannot, and we plan for that. Elite parks the truck at the bottom and shuttles everything to it with our ProMaster van, which fits up steep driveways and under tree overhangs. We do this regularly in Montecito and Beverly Hills.
How do you protect floors and walls in a high-value home?
Floors get runners and door jambs get pads before anything moves, and every piece is pad-wrapped. Any scratch or mark that is already there is recorded on time-stamped video at the start, so there is never a question later about what happened on the day.
Can you store our things between closings?
Yes. Elite runs its own secure, climate-controlled storage warehouse, so we can pick up from the home you are leaving, hold everything as long as you need, and deliver to the new home when it is ready, with the same crew handling it.
Do you provide a certificate of insurance for our building or HOA?
Yes. Elite Movers is licensed and insured, with California BHGS permit MTR0192064 and USDOT 3356160. Tell us what your building, gated community or HOA needs and we will send the certificate of insurance before move day.
How is a large home move quoted?
Every quote is written and based on your home: the number of rooms, how much we pack, access at both homes, specialty pieces and any storage. Call (805) 697-6220 and we will walk through the home with you, in person or on a video call, before we quote.
