About Gulf Coast Moves
Our Leader
Laurie Maggio, Owner, Coastal Town Moves and Gulf Coast Moves
Laurie Maggio is the Owner of Gulf Coast Moves in Houston, TX, and Coastal Town Moves in Fairfield County, CT.
Since 2017, after serving as the company’s primary move coordinator, Laurie has continued to expand Coastal Town Moves’ reach within the New York tri-state area and broadened its scope of clients to include not only people permanently changing residences but also those making temporary moves from their homes for reasons such as renovation or repair. In 2019, Laurie obtained her CT real estate license to compliment her move management skills and better assist her clients with moving decisions. In 2020, Laurie moved with her family to Houston, TX and expanded her business to serve the great state of Texas.
Prior to her move management work, Laurie spent 10 years working the Sports & Events industry, as an experienced professional in sales and marketing. Over the years of raising her family, Laurie also honed her art skills having taught children’s art in the local community center in Wilton, CT as well as showing her own art in Illinois, New York & Connecticut. Laurie is originally from Garden City, NY. She received a BA from Lafayette College and an MBA from George Washington University.
While working and raising her family, Laurie has moved ten times within a twenty-year time span. From these experiences, she understands that moves are seamless when time management, organization and hard work all flow together.
Our Team
At its core, our business is about people, about our clients, but also our staff. We strive to attract employees who believe as we do that our clients are the most important part of the move, putting ourselves in their shoes is how we approach every move. We try to treat every move as though it's a "special event", with the understanding that as much as we plan and prepare, sometimes things happen and we will always remain flexible to make sure our clients are pleased with our services.
We also like to support the local community and create opportunities for people. We have both college & high school interns who have been part of our team in the summer months. Their youthful enthusiasm to help clients has been a highlight for many, and the bonus is how well it prepares the interns themselves for what lies ahead with their own transitions to college and home ownership. We pride ourselves on making sure the people who work for us, and with you, are detail oriented, methodical, respectful and empathetic. That way you can be confident your move is always in good hands.
