Congratulations! You’ve found a place to call home.
All you need to do now is figure out what you need to pack up and when to schedule that moving truck, right? To help you get on track with your move and to make it as easy as possible, we’ve got some helpful tips.
Before your move.
It’s a good idea to get a home inspection before you finalize the deal on your home. Getting an objective assessment of the current condition of the house could save you a large sum of money down the road on expensive repairs.
For your move.
Having great friends and family by your side during your move is great. Depending on how much you need to move, you can probably do-it-yourself (DIY) with a friend’s pick-up in exchange for a dinner out.
If you’re looking for a more hands-free approach, hiring full-service movers is a great idea. Professional movers will handle everything from packing and unpacking to furniture assembly and more.
Another option is to look into is a hybrid move - a combination of a DIY and full-service. It’s a good way to save some money and get the specific help you need. With this option, you can pay for select assistance such as packing/unpacking and loading/unloading your rental truck.
No matter which method you choose, CAA Members can save more on moving and storage solutions with great partner offers from Penske Truck Rental, AMJ Campbell moving company, PODS® and more.
After your move.
Once you’re settled into your new home, you probably want to make your space your very own. What a great time to look into paint colours and perhaps even lawn care services to spruce up the landscaping around your house. Be sure to use your CAA card when you shop at CertaPro Painters® and Yardly to save even more.
