Choosing To Move

Do you remember the last time you thought about moving? After living in our home for about three years, I realized that we wanted to get out into the world and see some other places, so we listed our place for sale. Making the decision to move was nerve-wracking but incredibly exciting, and I was really happy that we were able to make the choice to move. After we sold our place and relocated, it was incredible to experience new places, new things, and adventures that I had never dreamed of. Check out this blog for great reasons to move.

Choosing To Move

Making Your Move A Little Easier And Less Stressful

by Courtney Thompson

Moving is a stressful and time-consuming process. It can be challenging to know where to start, and it can be even more difficult to find the right movers to help you. If you are moving, here are a few things you should consider when choosing a moving company to help.

Getting Estimates

The first step is to get estimates from multiple moving companies in your local area. Often this will give you a good idea of the cost of your move and can help you compare different companies.

Get References

Once you've narrowed down your list of potential moving companies, be sure to ask for references. Talk to friends, family, or neighbors who have recently moved, and see if they can recommend a moving company.

Most movers have reviews online from past customers, and you can look those up to help you determine if the service is right for your needs.

Get Prices And Estimates In Writing

When you hire any moving company, be sure to get everything in writing. It is vital to include moving costs, dates, and services the movers will provide in the quote, and documenting it helps ensure nothing changes during the move. 

Most movers use contracts when you set the moving date and the services you need. You should get a copy of that contract before you leave the office, so be sure to ask for it. 

Get Organized And Allow Enough Time

One of the biggest mistakes people make when moving is not giving themselves enough time for packing and preparing their home for moving day. It's important to start packing early, and it is essential to give yourself plenty of time on the day of the move. 

Rushing your move will add to the stress, but in most cases, being organized can help. Keep track of all the belongings that you are moving in your vehicle, and make a plan for where everything will go in your new home. You can ask the movers to put the boxes in each room for you, making it easier to unpack and settle into your new home.

Moving is a stressful and time-consuming process, so it is vital to be patient with yourself and the movers and work through the process until it is done.  

Prepare For Delays

Even with the best planning, there's always a chance that delays will occur during your move. Being prepared with a backup plan is an excellent idea, but don't worry too much about the details.

If there is a problem, the moving company will contact you and let you know what to expect and how they will correct the problem. For more information, contact a moving company near you.
