Tips for hiring movers

April 19, 2012 - After buying a new home or signing a lease for an apartment, it is important for tenants and homeowners to start planning their move. While some may choose a do-it-yourself approach, there are many benefits to hiring movers. Real Simple magazine offers advice on steps to take when hiring moving services.

When weighing options, the source suggests asking friends, family members and even coworkers for recommendations on different companies. There are also many online resources that can be helpful when selecting the right moving company, but comparing estimates and availability will ensure that new homeowners and renters get the most for their money.

The magazine says to avoid registering for sites offering to find a mover as it can result in pesky phone calls with services offering estimates.

After narrowing options down to a couple of movers, Real Simple says to ask for an in-home estimate. This will offer a more accurate price, allowing those relocating to modify their budget as needed.

Confirming dates one last time and saving a signed agreement is the last step in selecting a moving company. While the process can be tedious, the source says finding a reliable mover who also fits homeowners' budgets can simplify the task.
