Turning move-outs into smooth handovers — one sofa at a time

Like many expats in Estonia, we came here with big dreams… and way too much stuff. Fast forward a few years (and a few apartments later), moving out became a ritual of chaos:

• Dozens of Facebook messages that went nowhere
  
  
• No-shows when you’ve already carried the sofa down three flights of stairs
  
  
• Awkward haggling in three different languages (none of which were Estonian)
  
  
• And the classic: “I’ll send you the money later, promise!”
  
  

Sound familiar? We thought so.

That’s when we realized: moving out and selling secondhand items shouldn’t feel like running an obstacle course. Estonia is a country where you can file your taxes in 3 minutes, sign contracts online, and even vote digitally. But when it came to move-outs and garage sales? Still stuck in the stone age.

So we built Movehunt — a secure marketplace designed for move-outs and garage sales. A place where sellers can declutter without stress, buyers can find good deals without scams, and everyone can skip the chaos of endless chats and flaky meetups.

Why we care

We’ve been there: the stress of moving, the deadlines, the mountain of stuff you don’t want to drag to your next place. And we’ve seen how much Estonians value practicality and how much expats need simplicity. Movehunt is our way of making moving out a little less painful — and maybe even a little fun.

A greener way to move

Every year, tons of usable furniture and household items end up as waste simply because selling them feels like too much trouble. By making secondhand sales simple, Movehunt helps keep good items in circulation, reduces waste, and gives a second life to the things we no longer need. It’s good for your wallet — and good for the planet.

Our mission

To turn Estonia’s move-outs from stressful goodbyes into smooth handovers. Less hassle, less waste, more trust.

A note from our founder

Hi, I’m Firas 👋

When I first moved to Estonia, I thought the hardest part would be learning the language (and yes, that’s still a challenge). But it turned out, the real headache was moving apartments — trying to sell furniture, avoid scams, and not waste good stuff that still had plenty of life in it.

That frustration is exactly why I started Movehunt. I wanted to create something useful for both locals and expats — a trusted space where moving out doesn’t have to mean throwing out.

Thanks for being here, and welcome to the Movehunt community.
