Planning a move? This free guide from Movers.com can help, by explaining all the factors that you need to consider – and showing you how to get free estimates from 7 of the top-rated local movers.
If you're getting ready to move - but you're not sure where you're moving, then I'm going to go out on a limb here, and say that things may be just a little chaotic right now...
Am I right?
Right or wrong - I want to help take a bit of that chaos back out of your life, not enough to make it boring, but just enough that you can breathe a sigh of relief when you finish reading this, and think to yourself, "Well, at least that's taken care of."
So without further ado, I'd like to present to you two of my free, favorite tools, from Movers.com.
The first one is a handy guide that looks at the most important factors to consider when moving to a new area. You can read the full thing, absolutely free, by clicking here.
The second tool is way more handy, in my opinion, but not until after you've finished with the first one... That's because it's a simple form you can fill in with the details of your move, and Movers.com will send the info to 7 of the best-reviewed local moving companies, who will each provide a free, no-obligation estimate for your move.
But, well, like I said - that's not very helpful until after you figure out where you want to move to, so why don't we start there?
When choosing a new area to live in, Movers.com suggests beginning with the financial aspect, because, like it or not, this can really narrow down your list of options. It explains what affordability means in the context of choosing a home, because it's more than just the sticker price, and provides several examples of how budgeting may be different in more or less expensive locations.
The guide also talks about several other key areas that should be factored in before choosing a location, including climate, infrastructure, and crime statistics. However, it suggests that which factors rank highest will vary from person to person, based on your individual experiences and needs.
Depending on the reason you're relocating, the guide suggests that you may also want to do some research on the local cultures, customs, and how close you would be located to family members. It also provides suggestions for examining the job market and ensuring that local employment options will be suitable for themselves and any family they bring along.
Once you've picked a location, then we can start to talk about the quick price estimate tool, which uses a single, simple form to get up to 7 free quotes from local professionals. After filling in details about your upcoming move, such as the to and from locations and an estimate of the load size, you'll get no-obligation estimates from the top, pre-screened local moving companies.
What if that's not enough information to choose?
Don't worry, Movers.com has you covered - it's what they do best.
You can find tons of info on their site, like reviews from other clients for all the top moving companies, and a ridiculous amount of free guides on everything from what to pack and how to choose a mover, to where to move, and how to carry everything yourself.
Also, here's a blurb I stole from their latest free guide - shh, don't tell them, “Whatever might be the reason for moving -- a new job, retirement, better schools, or just for a fresh start -- there are a lot of variables that come into play before you decide where to move. From climate to low crime rates, the reasons for moving are far and varied.”
If you're planning a move anytime soon, don't stress, and don't let it turn into a mess.
Everything you need is at Movers.com - starting with your free price quotes from local experts.
