Professional Movers or Do it Yourself?

This is adapted from my monthly HomeNotes newsletter. If you would like to subscribe, please let me know!

If hiring a moving company, keep a few things in mind:
-- Hire a reputable company
-- Make sure the mover is properly insured
-- Request a home visit and written estimate
-- Avoid end of the month and summer moves
-- Let the movers pack your breakables so they will be insured
-- Document everything

If doing it yourself:
-- Make a pre-move packing list for each box
-- Have more boxes and supplies on hand than you think you will need
-- Keep similar items together
-- Have cleaning supplies handy
-- Safeguard valuable items


For more details or elaboration, text or email me. I can send you the actual newsletter. Have a good week!
