If you’re relocating, or even just buying a new home then you must know it involves moving. If you are among the well off who can spend a fortune to have things done for them, then shun from reading this immediately.
Well, for the remaining lot who find moving to a new place a dreadful must-do, you can benefit from the tips below; they will save you in a huge way.
Mistake # 6: Got no plan…
It is true that failing to plan means planning to fail. Moving is more than piling up your stuff in boxes and loading the truck. A checklist is important to help you remember all the intricate details of a move ~ like when and how to move man’s best friend, among other things. Go online and find free moving checklist, there are many you can choose from.
Mistake #5: Head, Meet Sand
Most of us recognize moving is not a fun experience. However, you don’t have to pack your things in a hurry, take your time and pack carefully, and intelligently. Our Palm Springs Gay Realtor claims it could take a week, so try to utilize this time frame to do things correctly. Don’t forget to follow some of the tips on how to protect your stuff when packing, from the electronics to dishware, to the underwear drawer.
Mistake # 4: “I think Craigslist Movers Are So Much Cheaper!”
Don’t trust just any stranger to take care for some of your most valuable possessions! This is a field where many scammers have chipped into making away with your stuff or could demand more money (ransom) from you, just to get them delivered. Check with the better business bureau, demand to verify the movers “moving insurance” is intact, check out the on-line reviews at places like yelp.com, and NEVER pay the movers anything in advance for your move… they get paid when the move is 100% complete!
Mistake #3 “Everything is on the truck!”A
According to movers NJ, there are some things you need to keep in your procession instead of the moving truck. Such things include birth certificates / passports / small home safes, etc. Have you ever misplaced your purse or briefcase with all of your important cards and papers? Make sure that these things are in your procession all the time ~ confirming a couple of times that you have them will save you a lot of headaches.
Mistake #2: “Uh Oh…Somebody is watching!”
Ignorance has no excuse. We see people moving into new houses in Palm Springs and never bother to change/rekey the locks with a commercial locksmith. We view them as stupid because who knows, maybe the previous owners had given out the keys to other relatives or 3rd parties and chances are that your neighbors could be aware of where the spare key is hidden. A local locksmith services company can help you sleep safe and change locks by sending a locksmith before you move in with your stuff, be sure the locksmith is the best in your area. You may believe contacting a locksmith is difficult, but this is not the case. You can easily find a 24-hour locksmith Long Island that responds quickly to their customers’ calls.
Mistake #1: “DIY Is Always Cheaper… Right?”
Doing things on your own when it comes to organization, packing, moving, etc. occasionally seems like a good idea. However, don’t make too many assumptions in the name of saving money. Things like the size of the truck, insurance, amount of fuel, packing boxes pads and equipment (dollies, etc.), not to mention who are you going to trick into helping you?
If you’d like to save money and move on your own; pack your stuff and hire a moving company just to do the transportation. They are true home moving professionals and will safely take everything to its destination.
The tips above will help make your moving process fun and of course safe. Have fun along the moving process.
