Top Questions to ask when moving:




A moving decision: Hiring pros or doing it yourself ? Congratulations, you’re moving! Whether you’ve just bought your first condo or are upgrading to a larger home, you basically have two choices: do it yourself or hire a mover. Here are some questions that will help you figure out your best option...

How much do you want to spend? Doing it yourself is cheaper than hiring pros, but the time savings can be worth using movers.

How much time do you have? If you’re doing a DIY move, you’ll have to pack, rent a truck, load it, drive it to your new place, unload, feed your helpers, return the truck, unpack – and then collapse in utter exhaustion. Movers can do it all for you with no pizza or beer required.

How far are you moving? Factor in the cost of gas (Google “mileage calculator” to estimate fuel costs), and remember that truck rental companies charge more for one-way rentals.

How much stuff do you have? If all your earthly possessions will fit into the back of a pickup truck, that’s probably your best option. If you’re relocating a 4-bedroom home, movers might be your best bet here.
