Silver Springs has a median age of about 56.4 and nearly 85 percent of homes are owned, a profile that fits older owners downsizing. O'Brien's offers a free in-home estimate and plans the long drive from Sparks.
Silver Springs in Lyon County has about 5,100 residents and 2,300 households. The median home was built in 1993 and the median home value is about $244,400, modest for the region.

Older owners, modest homes
Many Silver Springs households have held their homes for years. Only about 10 percent of residents moved in the past year, and about 15 percent of homes are rented. The median value of about $244,400 means many owners are weighing a move against its cost; a clear, itemized estimate helps.
The route
The drive from the warehouse is about 44 miles and 67 minutes via SR 439, I-80 and US 95A. Rural roads and lots may call for a smaller truck. The estimator checks that at the visit.
Packing a workshop and a garage
Rural lots often have sheds and shops. Tell the estimator, and the crew packs and loads those. Equipment may need a separate plan.
Silver Springs is far enough from Sparks that the crew plans a full day. A larger home may take longer, and the estimator tells you how many movers and what size of truck the job needs. Delivery windows come from your written estimate.
What the numbers mean for sorting
With 85 percent ownership, a median home built in 1993 and a low turnover rate, many Silver Springs houses hold a long-settled household. Owners often find that the garage and a shed have more contents than the house itself. Starting there is a good first step.

Care communities and apartments
Seniors leaving Silver Springs often go to Fernley, Dayton, Carson City or Reno, where services are close. Ask the destination for its move-in rules, and give them to the estimator. See moving a parent to assisted living.
Use the written estimate as a family document
The estimate lists rooms and items. Many families put it on the table and tick off each decision: keep, give, store, donate. It also makes a good record for relatives who live elsewhere.
Water, wells and utilities
Rural homes can have wells and propane tanks. Those stay with the house, but the estimator asks about them to make sure the crew does not load anything that belongs to the property. When a house sells, coordinate the final utility readings with the closing agent.

Extremely happy with the moving experience. The moving team showed up on time, friendly and polite. They did a wonderful job moving our boxes and furniture to the new location. We moved a three bedroom home and I could not be more pleased with the employees who assisted with the move. Highly recommend O'Brien moving for your move.

Talk about organized people. I peeked in the truck about an hour into the job and was amazed at how well organized it was and how many of my things had protective coverings. Our bed is a mechanical one and a nightmare to us, but these guys had no issue with it at all. Although I have no desire to ever move again--but if I did, I would be calling these guys for sure!!!
