Jessica Martinez
Jessica writes the moving guides and cost breakdowns on CostToMoveGuide, the pieces that work out what a local crew, a cross-country carrier, or a piano specialist actually charges and why. Before writing full time, she worked as a credit analyst, which is where the habit of tracing every number back to its source came from. She holds that a price range without a source is just a guess with a dollar sign in front of it.
Her beat across the Encore network covers consumer cost questions generally: what things cost, why, and how the pricing actually works underneath the quote.
Who Built the Calculators
The four calculators on this site, and the rate assumptions behind each one, are maintained by Chris Terry, the site's founder and editor. His background and how the figures get sourced and corrected are on the editorial standards page, since that work sits closer to accountability than to authorship.
