As real estate professionals, we know that many people think about moving to a new home during the summer months.
Here are some must have tips for clients moving in the coming season!
The first call should be to the moving company
Moving season ramps up quickly. If you have decided to purchase or sell a home, not only are you going to have to act very quickly, but you must contact a moving company just as fast. You could end up with a very aggressive closing date so the ability to get on the moving company schedule is going to rely on making that phone call quickly. We have recommended countless times about planning when moving but in the midst of a busy moving season, you cannot waste any time.
The goal should be a stress-free move
Moving can be stressful so it's important to set a goal of lowering as much stress as you can. Since there are so many components to moving to a new home, your first goal is to not procrastinate. Get started on the important items such as packing and definitely leave the fragile items and those of value to the professionals. You can try and downsize the number of items they have and make a detailed To Do List of everything that needs to be done before moving day. Ask the moving company for complementary services that can help lower your stress.
Ask about professional packing services
Professional packers will use the best packing materials and techniques to ensure your belongings are protected throughout the move. These professionals know how to properly pack all types of items and are trained in safe lifting and handling techniques to avoid any potential injuries. Additionally, they are insured, which means that if anything is damaged during the move, in most cases you are covered.
Work with an established moving company
It is critical that you work with an established and reputable moving company. Receiving a referral from a trusted source from a real estate professional is the best way to do this. A reputable moving company will have an established headquarters and operate their own vehicles.
