Is it time to walk away from your Mortgage?
Posted on June 22, 2011
Having served Ocean and Monmouth county homeowners and business owners for over 40 years now we have ridden a few financial rollercoaster’s in our day. We have experienced first hand the boom and bust cycles that have plagued our economy in the four decades since our inception. The one thing that has remained constant though is our commitment to service. Whether we are moving clients into larger homes and expanded office space during the boom times, or helping our customers downsize during difficult times, we offer the same economical and efficient level of service that has been our trademark since we were founded in 1972.
This current economic downturn has been one of the most difficult we have seen our clients go through though. With the precipitous decline in home sales and home value not seen in decades our neighbors are struggling more than ever to make ends meet. There may be an option. While not ideal, walking away from you mortgage may be a good idea. Read an article about it Here.
Remember, whether you decide to sell, rent or walk away from your home we are here to help. We offer short or long term storage solutions that are less expensive than self-storage. If money is tight we can also help you move the larger items in your home while you move your clothes, etc. Please call us before you decide hiring a moving company is not an option. We can work with you.
Good Luck!!!

Referral Registration
Posted on March 12, 2010
In the next few days we will be posting a new registration form on our website for real estate agents and others who wish to refer business to us. The purpose of the form will be to allow us to effectively and efficiently send out referral checks once referral job is booked. We will automatically send out checks to those agents who are registered. There will be no need to call us; just make sure you call us with your clients name so we can match you in the system or be sure your client tells us you were a referral source.
We look forward to working with all of you and thank you for all your support.

bed bug dogs find them we help eradicate them
Posted on
The New York Times issued another story yesterday about the growing use of bed bug sniffing dogs to help apartment dwellers zero in on the infestation. Sometimes infestations are confined to one area while other infestations are apartment wide. Unfortunately, in my situation, and in most others, bed bugs often find their way off the bed and into the couch or dresser or even into your electronics. When that happens, and I speak from experience, the best thing to do is just to load up all your belongings and have them fumigated with Vikane Gas.
Before I fumigated all my belongings and finally became bed bug free I used a PCO to spray my apartment and I lived out of the plastic bags and it was not a good existence. I finally broke down and called Bed Bugs and Beyond. I cannot state it emphatically enough that fumigation works. In the long run it is cheaper and more effective than using a PCO.
In full disclosure my company does not make any money off the fumigation. We do not get paid referral fees. I used them, it worked, and now I just want to share the message. We only make money if you decide to use us for the movement and/or storage of your belongings. Fumigation is just another service that we offer that most moving companies do not. If you have any questions please call and ask for Adam.
Thanks and best wishes.
The Epidemic Continues (let us help)
Posted on August 27, 2009
The problem is getting out of control
We, at Peter A. Thomson, understand first hand the torment and torture bed bugs cause to those unfortunate enough to be invaded. We had them ourselves and tried many ways to rid ourselves of them. None worked. That was until we moved and used Vikane gas fumigation through Bed Bugs and Beyond. Please give us a call if you really want to rid yourself of these bugs once and for all.
The Most Cost-Effective Bed Bug Elimination Solution
Posted on July 24, 2009
A recent article in the NY Times has highlighted the difficulty and high cost of eliminating bed bugs. We went through this painful experience once and never want to go through it again. After spending thousands on fumigators and living out of plastic bags we decided to try something else completely. We moved apartments and fumigated all of our belongings using Bed Bugs & Beyond. Well, we should have done it first thing because we would have saved thousands of dollars and tons of headaches. Bed Bugs & Beyond’s fumigation process killed every bed bug and we have not had a bite in over 7 Months (Knocking on wood now). We immediately formed a partnership with Bed Bugs & Beyond to help others in a similar situation. We provide a one-stop solution for the elimination of Bedbugs. We can pack, load, and unload your entire residence so you don’t have to do a thing. Before you try any other route please contact us first to learn what we can do for you.

New York/New Jersey to Florida: the exodus continues.
Posted on June 19, 2009
While things did slow down a bit over the winter we are seeing a real surge in New York/New Jersey to Florida activity. This is in addition to our already busy routes of New Jersey to North Carolina and New Jersey to South Carolina and New Jersey to Georgia.
Contrary to so many reports, we at Peter A. Thomson Moving & Storage have experienced a recent surge in New York to Florida relocation activity. As the “Florida Specialist” since the early 1980′s we have moved our fair share of families to Florida over the years. We have moved some families back 6 months later and others a few years later, but of course, many decided to stay and make Miami the 6th borough.
If you are planning on moving North to South please give Peter A. Thomson Moving and Storage a call.
