Tips for Moving in 2020

When you are working on buying or selling a home, or both, the last thing on your mind is the actual moving day. There are so many details to work out, items to check off the list, and things to do that the actual day of moving can sneak up on you, but it is important to make sure that you are prepared in advance for moving day so that everything runs smoothly when that day arrives. Here are some tips for moving in 2020.

Compare Movers

You should definitely hire a mover in this day and age. Professional movers really don’t cost that much comparatively. If you move yourself, you’ll have to hire a U-Haul or similar truck service, which can run you hundreds of dollars depending on how far you are moving. Even just a 300 mile move can come with exorbitant truck fees. Then, you figure in the cost of your time off work so that you can pack and move, and suddenly hiring a mover doesn’t sound so expensive.

But if you are going to hire professional movers, make sure that you shop around. Don’t just look for the cheapest price, though. You should also be looking at reviews, how often things get broken, what they’ll do if something does break during the move, and any warranties or guarantees that they might have.

Save the Environment

Our environment has gone through detrimental times in the last hundred years, and the last thirty years especially so. To reduce your own carbon footprint, plan ahead a little and use reusable materials to pack and move your belongings. You can use old clothing to pack instead of plastic bubble wrap. You can also use laundry baskets and other reusable containers to pack as much as possible instead of buying single-use cardboard boxes. You’ll also save money on packing supplies.

With all of the hassle of moving, you want to spend as little energy as possible on the logistics of the move. For that reason, we can help you get through that home purchase with reliable services and title insurance. Contact us today to learn more.
