Moving Tips
Moving is very stressful and hiring movers is no picnic.
Did You Know: Professional Movers see 50% of their annual revenue between Memorial Day and Labor Day.
Expect to find yourself stressed. According to the American Psychiatric Association, moving is the third most stressful activity we experience following first – loss of a loved one, and second – loss of your work. I would say divorce and others should rank hire but they didn't ask me in the study.
So find an honest professional carrier (there are many actually) and rely on their expertise for help.

If you would like suggestions on movers in the Greater Columbia SC area then let me know. Otherwise, your real estate agent near you should be able to help.
Did You Know 2: Some research has found moving is the 3rd most stressful time behind
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
Start Early. Six weeks to two months is best. Always ask for a written quote so the mover doesn't add on more charges along the way. Find out how you are being charged. Is it Hourly? Weight? Space? Guaranteed? Estimated?
Remember, each moving company is different. It's not like buying a Honda where all are the same and reliable. Evaluate not just the bottom line price but the value and safety you get with the company. Do not forget to understand the mover's liability for loss and damage. This can be very confusing but critical to hiring the right company.
Focus on getting rid of excess items that are not being used. Why pay to bring clutter? However, if it is a higher priced item then it may be worth moving.

good tips - always best to get started early. Movers can be very expensive so it's good to shop around - look into PODS - that's another option for moving a houseful of stuff. I'm sick of moving furniture - next time I move - I will probably use movers. We always do a major yard sale before we move so we don't take a bunch of junk with us.
Agreed. One crazy idea which was kind of brilliant was I knew an investor that would hire a moving crew and get them to load the truck. Then he would hire a second moving crew (first didn't realize it) and had them unload the truck. This way, he got more done because the movers were not tired or milking the clock at the end. He was an interesting guy.

I think this post will really help those who are thinking of moving from their place to a different location..... I think this is a great post.. Thanks
I appreciate the feedback and the time you read it. I designed it to matter. It's what I do as a Real Estate agent.
Will not disagree with that comment. There is a reason people hire movers. It is NO FUN.
I really hate moving. Im hoping to never have to move again. It really sucks.
