Knowing when to hire movers

April 24, 2012 - When moving, homeowners or renters have options as far as relocating to their new home. While a short move to a neighboring town can make for a do-it-yourself move, bigger moves may be easier to complete with the help of a moving company. MSN Real Estate offers some help when choosing to use moving services.

Selecting a moving company can be simplified by first comparing the cost of estimates. It may prove helpful for homebuyers to get pricing written on paper. Screen companies using the Better Business Bureau, which offers a list of past complaints and resolutions, can ensure a better choice.

The cost for moving will vary depending on if homeowners or renters are completing a local move or long-distance relocation. The source notes that local moves are typically charged by either the hour per worker or by the amount of moving boxes and furniture being transferred to the new residence. Long-distance or out-of-state moves may charge by weight and distance, as well as the date of the move.
