Moving Local, How To Plan

A local move can need just as much planning and organization as a long distance move. It doesn’t matter if you are moving down the block or across town, preparation is key. The following tips should help make your relocation a not so stressful experience.

How Will You Move?

If your budget is a bigger factor than your time, the do-it-yourself option might be your best and most cost effective choice. Rent a moving truck and enlist the help of any willing family members or friends. You can also hire a moving company for the loading and unloading of the truck only.

If your budget is not as important to you as your time then hiring a full-service moving company is the way to go. They will handle everything from start to finish. Do your due diligence and research all potential moving companies.

Get Organized

One of the biggest factors when a move becomes a headache is not being organized. If you are doing the packing, make sure you have all the necessary supplies and assorted sizes of boxes. One of the best ways to get organized is to start packing and labeling  boxes in relations to their rooms weeks in advance.

Update All Your Information

Make sure you get a change of address form and notify all parties of the change.

Make your next local move an easy one. Start early, research all potential moving companies, get organized and stay organized and update all important information in regards to your address change.
