What to look for in a moving professional
The best place to start the moving process is to get a free consultation from a professional mover. A professional mover is able to provide comprehensive advice on moving long distances. Many relocation consultants can even work in conjunction with real estate professionals to help a person find a house in the new location. The professional can also put a person in touch with a bank in the new location to discuss the mortgage application process.
Some relocation consultants refer people to a home buying professional. These professionals are experienced in helping people find a house that is at or below market value. Often homes that are sold by owner rather than through an estate agency sell for much less than other homes of the same size and quality in the same area. Home finders will understand these differences in market price and can help a person find the perfect home when the person is unable to view a property in person.
Since relocation professionals are located in the new city, they are aware of which areas are desirable and what amenities are available in each nearby city. These professionals can discuss neighborhood preferences with the client to determine which area is ideal according to the client’s specific needs. For example, a client with a family may be concerned about the quality of local schools and the property’s proximity to parks.
Consultants are able to help the mover understand the moving process and find a reliable one moving company which can transport personal belongings over long distances or internationally. International moves tend to be more difficult due to the distance required, the possibility of overseas shipping and the fact that items will likely have to spend some time in customs clearance before the final leg of the journey can be completed. Movers who specialize in international moves are well informed about the specific laws related to moving in a particular country.
International moving companies offer comprehensive services including packing, loading and transportation of items. If the moving process is long-term, these companies also offer storage services during the interim period. Insurance is offered directly by the moving company and the company will take care of all customs paperwork when the items arrive in the new country. Once the items are laundered, the company will transport them to the new home. Most moving services even offer unpacking services at the new location.
Although moving is a difficult process, using the help of professionals makes the transition more manageable.
