So, you’ve finally achieved your dream of buying a home in Boston.
Now the fun part begins – moving! While memories of moving days past may have
you dreading the day you bid farewell to your existing home, your experience
doesn’t have to be stressful. With the right preparation, attitude, and
professionals helping you through the process, I assure you the final days of
your journey through the Boston real estate market will be smooth sailing.
Before dialing up the first moving company that comes to mind, ask each
potential candidate these questions before making any final decisions.
Q: Will you perform an on-site, in person estimate of my
belongings?
By having a moving company visit your home and assess the
amount of belongings you have, you’ll get a more accurate idea of how much
you’ll be charged. You’ll also want to find out how each moving company
calculates their estimates (by weight per pound and distance, hours, cubic
feet, etc.)
Q: What does your quote include?
Some moving companies offer packing services for those
homeowners who would prefer to be as hands-off as possible during the moving
process. Find out if the quote they provide you only includes labor or if it
also includes materials like boxes, bubble wrap, packing tape, and the usage of
carts and dollies.
Q: Does your company offer insurance?
When hiring a moving company, you’re essentially entrusting
the care of your personal belongings to a group of strangers. Making sure you
and your prized possessions are protected is a key part of making sure your
move is as stress-free and enjoyable as possible. Ask each moving company about
the insurance terms for the move. Typically, you can purchase additional
insurance to cover the value of your belongings if they are lost or damaged.
Though this isn’t an exhaustive list of questions to ask each potential candidate, these inquiries will have you on the right track to getting enough information to make some informed decisions.
