Organize Your Move

If relocation is in your future, taking the time to organize your move can save you a lot of stress. Moving is always a major undertaking, but it doesn't have to be an overwhelming one. If carefully planned out, you can have a smooth move.
My husband and I moved 16 times in 24 years. We've moved across town, interstate, from coast to coast, and internationally. As you can see, I've had more than my share of practice moving. In my experience, two factors play a key role in the success and smoothness of a move. Those factors are knowledge and planning. |

If you decide to hire a full service moving company, you will need to obtain written in-home estimates from all the companies you are considering. Do not accept a final estimate over the phone or internet.
In order to provide you with an accurate estimate, your mover will need to see your stuff. This includes everything that will go with you to your new location. Show the person preparing the estimate every area of your home to include the garage, shop, attic, basement, outdoor sheds, and so forth. Also be sure the person providing the estimate makes a note of any over-sized, oddly shaped, or extremely delicate items which may add significantly to the weight of your shipment or require special packaging. |
