Utah Real Estate: Guide to Moving to Utah.

Moving Here

Whether moving around the corner or across the country, there are decisions to be made. Do you want to take on the onus of moving yourself, or hire professionals who have both the brains and brawn to accomplish such a daunting task? More than anything, your present financial situation could dictate this decision. If funds are low, most people will handle the moving duties in-house [read: they will pack the boxes, rent the moving truck, load the furniture and buy the deep-heating rub themselves].

If you decide to go this route, you will want to prepare yourself as best you can. You will need boxes — lots of boxes — and blankets and towels to serve as a buffer between your precious goods and the bouncing and jarring of a truck in motion. You should start collecting boxes at least six weeks before you plan to move. Visit a few grocery stores in your neighborhood. They are constantly receiving shipments and are usually willing to donate what boxes they can to your cause.

The key is finding out when the incoming shipments are due to arrive and when you need to get to the store before the boxes are disposed. This could mean waking up early in the morning or venturing out late at night, so set your alarm clock. It might also be worth your while to check out what kind of reference material your local library has to offer for do-it-yourself movers. You might unearth some tricks of the trade that could come in handy during your move.

If money is no object, finding a reputable mover, one with a proven track record and competitive rates, might be a more attractive alternative. Most movers will offer a free in-house estimate to determine how much it will cost to move you from Point A to Point B. It is a good idea to call four or five movers and compare bids. But remember, price should only be one of your considerations when making a decision. When hiring movers to assist in your relocation, there are several different routes you can take.

If the only thing you want to concern yourself with is writing a check after the move has been successfully executed, you will want to go with a full-service move. This means the movers will pack your boxes, load the truck, transport your belongings and unpack everything upon arrival at the new destination. For those who don’t mind packing boxes (or would actually prefer it) this too is an option. Once everything is packed away, the movers will come and haul the packed boxes, furniture and appliances and it take it from there. Either way, you will want to investigate what insurance options are available to protect yourself against property mishaps that can occur during the moving process.

Through it all, try to take your move in stride. They say that only two events are more stressful to a family than a move — death and divorce — so try to maintain a sense of humor. Remind yourself that every move hits an occasional speed bump along the way — let’s just hope the antique mirror isn’t a casualty when the bumps hit.
