Moving can be expensive—and we aren’t just talking about the home purchase! Here are a few of our top tips to cut costs. ⁣
⁣
🚚 Declutter before you pack. Don’t spend money moving items that you no longer need. Instead, hold a yard sale to help fund your move. ⁣
⁣
🚚 Get multiple quotes. The cost of movers can vary widely, so explore a few options to ensure you aren’t being overcharged. ⁣
⁣
🚚 Avoid paying for packing supplies. Post on your community Facebook group or check with local stores for leftover boxes. ⁣
⁣
🚚 Pack strategically. If you nest items inside one another, you may be able to get away with a smaller, less expensive moving truck. ⁣

Are you relocating to a new area? A few simple steps to prepare can make all the difference on move-in day. ⁣
⁣
For example, it’s much easier to clean or remodel your home before all your belongings have been moved in. Schedule contractors to paint or install new flooring ahead of time so you can enjoy a truly fresh start. ⁣
⁣
Other steps, such as changing your address, need time to implement. Submit your request to the postal service and other relevant parties well in advance so all your important bills, notices, and deliveries make it to your new doorstep. ⁣
