A Bit About Me
I'm Drew Austin, founder of Austin Move Managers, and someone who's always been driven by a deep desire to help people.
Growing up in Columbia, I was constantly on the move, from the sports field to church events to volunteering in my community. I've always thrived in fast paced environments, but what sports taught me more than anything was that success takes more than speed. It takes discipline, care, and heart. That mindset shaped who I am and how I approach everything I do.
The heart behind Austin Move Managers started with my grandmother, Candy Waites. She built a business that wasn't just about logistics. It was about compassion. Watching her care for seniors and help them through difficult transitions inspired me in a way I'll never forget. I saw the impact she made, and I knew I wanted to do the same, to carry that legacy forward in my own way.
Starting this business wasn't just a career move. It was a calling. With a strong work ethic, a heart for service, and a background rooted in faith, I've built Austin Move Managers to serve older adults and their families with integrity, patience, and purpose. After moving to Charleston, SC, I now help make the moving process smoother, simpler, and more comforting, from downsizing and packing to setting up a new home that feels just right.
Helping people is what I love. And I'm honored to do that every day through this work.
Our
Story
Get to Know Us
Austin Move Managers was founded with a simple but powerful mission: to make one of life's most difficult transitions easier, more personal, and less overwhelming for older adults and their families.
Our story begins with a woman named Candy Waites, a compassionate, hardworking move manager who built a respected business dedicated to helping seniors downsize and relocate with dignity. Her work wasn't just about organizing boxes. It was about honoring people's lives, stories, and memories.
Inspired by her legacy, her grandson Drew Austin took everything he learned from her, the values, the care, and the high standards, and brought that vision to Charleston, SC.
Today, Austin Move Managers offers comprehensive move management services, including downsizing, packing, donation coordination, and full home setup, all delivered with the personal touch that makes us different. We understand that moving is more than a checklist. It's emotional, personal, and often life-changing. That's why we're here to guide, support, and care, every step of the way.
