Finding your dream home, imagining painting, decorating the kid’s rooms, or finding the perfect throw pillows is always fun and exciting, but boxing up all of your belongings and driving a moving truck? Not part of the fairytale. That is where Chris Sweet of Swamp Rabbit Moving transforms into Greenville’s own Clark Kent. He and his team make the most stressful part of moving a breeze. 

A proud family man, you don’t have to feel embarrassed if you have five boxes labeled “shoes.” His wife Cristen blessed him with three daughters, Emma, 2, Maisie, 6, and Marlee, 9- going on 30, and the family doesn’t stop there! They have a puppy, Minerva, and a sweet old dog, Athena. Chris is happily outnumbered six to one. He spends as much time as possible with his girls- they love vacations and creating family memories. When he isn’t doting on his family, he enjoys deep-sea fishing. 

Born and raised in Greenville, Chris knew two things, Greenville will always be home, and he will be an entrepreneur. Uninspired by the school, Chris is a proud GED and trade school man. After welding 12 hours a day, seven days a week for five years, Chris was burnt out on welding. A friend told Chris about his moving job that he loved, and Chris knew that was what he wanted to do. He worked for an excellent moving company for four years, gaining experience before he decided he was ready to go out on his own. 

Chris’s mom came up with the name Swamp Rabbit Moving. They wanted potential clients to know they are a local business without resorting to having a generic name. After opening in October 2020, Swamp Rabbit Moving has 50 employees and an incredible reputation. They are all about culture, working to impact their community and team. Chris describes it as “a mom-and-pop shop with big business capabilities… my guys and girls are great people who love their job and it’s almost a daily occurrence we get a five-star review saying the guys ‘were not only professional, but funny as well’ that is like gold to me.” 

Above all, Chris wants to help take the stress out of moving and to “impact the people around him in a positive way.” Aware that moving services don’t always have the best reputations, Chris Strives to provide the best service possible. His favorite part of the job is to watch stressed customers relax and become excited as they move to a new chapter in their life. 

Having a positive impact on the community is a core value at Swamp Rabbit Moving. Each month they donate a percentage of top-line revenue to local charities they are passionate about. They are proud to be the “Official Movers for Habitat for Humanity Families.” They move all of the families for free! They also support Defenders for Children and Sunday Dinner with a Twist.

Whether you are moving near or far, Swamp Rabbit Moving is here for you- they offer local and long-distance packing and unpacking as well as short and long-term storage. Customer satisfaction is always the number one goal, so if you are looking for a team that will have your back, you should follow the SRM team motto and, “Get in the habit of calling the RABBITS!”
