F.A.Q.
When should I start using a moving checklist?
You should start using a moving checklist as soon as you decide to move. The earlier you start, the more time you have to plan and organize your move effectively. Ideally, you should begin using a moving checklist at least 8-12 weeks before your move.
How do I choose a good moving broker?
When choosing a moving broker, it’s essential to do your research. Look for brokers that are licensed and insured and have a good reputation in the industry. Check reviews and ratings from past clients, and ask for references. Also, make sure the broker provides you with a written estimate and contract before you sign on.
Why should I use a moving broker instead of a moving company?
Using a moving broker can offer several benefits over using a moving company. Brokers can find the best moving company for your specific needs and budget, negotiate better rates, handle all logistics, provide dispute resolution, and save you time and energy.
