Your Moving Guide for Boston Real Estate

Now that spring is here in Boston, the weather is favorable for an easy moving experience. If you've taken advantage of this exciting time in the real estate market and purchased a new home, you'll soon be packing up the boxes. But no matter if you're a seasoned mover or you've just purchased your first home in Boston— moving tips are always helpful, especially from your local real estate agent. Here are a few tips to help keep things organized during your move to new Boston homes this spring:

Find a Reliable Moving Company

This should be your first step in the moving process. Not all homeowners like to do the heavy lifting themselves— that's where a moving company comes in handy. But it can be tough finding a moving company you can rely on, especially if you've never hired one. Get recommendations from family and friends, and better yet, your Boston real estate agent likely has one of their own they can steer you towards. Your Boston real estate agent has their finger on the pulse of the community, don't be afraid to ask for referrals.

Start a Moving Checklist

When it comes to moving, there is no such thing as too organized. Sit down and make a timeline, map out every step that will be involved. Break down the tasks that you should be doing each week and the pieces that should be moved during which times. You can even take organization to the next level and color coordinate your moving boxes. Keep a log of them with your timeline and to-do list. The earlier you start and the more organized you keep things, the easier the process will be!

Keep Your Budget in Mind

You've budgeted for your Boston home purchase, but what about your move? Many homebuyers often overlook the costs involved with moving. Your real estate agent is the best person to discuss the budget required for a move and what should be included. Do you have a tight budget? Your agent is just the real estate resource who can help you get it down to the essentials in order to keep costs low.

Referrals and Recommendations

All of the services you'll need for a move can be difficult to find. You'll save time and money in the long run when you use a trusted company with a proven record, so ask your real estate agent for the best picks. As KCM suggests, your Boston real estate agent can also "provide [you] with a list of people [they] recommend, including a cleaner, exterminator, interior decorator, handyman, contractor, and anyone else [they] find necessary or helpful during the moving process."
