Moving into a new apartment can be a difficult experience, especially if it's your first time. Even if you've performed a move in the past, following these tips may still help prevent disasters in your next move.
Set a moving date
Summer is the peak season for relocation and moving companies are extremely busy during this period. Be sure to book a moving company at least six weeks before the moving day. If you have school-aged children, consider moving during school break so they won't have to make big adjustments in their new school.
Get a team of experts
Consult a moving expert to plan the entire relocation process. They may also help in selecting the right movers for you. When getting moving estimates, be sure to invite the company over for an on-site assessment as this is more accurate. Ask for a written quote, just to be on the safer side.
 Get started with the packing
Even if you have hired movers to pack for you, pack as much as you can yourself to save more money. Aim to finish the packing three days before moving day so you can check on other important stuff regarding the move.
Give your movers a heads up
Visit your new home prior the moving date. Be sure to give the moving company enough information about the route and other bizarre details that might cause some problems or delays during the transit. Brainstorm with your moving consultant and find potential solutions to be fully ready on moving day.
