How to Prepare for Your In-Home Moving Estimate

As you probably already know, relocating to a new home is not a simple task. In fact, planning a move can be downright stressful and exhausting. The key to success is to organize, organize, organize! It also helps to avail the services of moving experts.

Professional movers can set up in-home estimates so that they can give you an accurate moving quote, which is essential for planning your budget. Here’s how you can prepare.

1. Find a Qualified Moving Company

Start by finding reputable home movers. You can conduct a search online or ask friends and family for referrals. We recommend that you contact at least three companies so that you can compare prices. Once you’ve chosen your three companies, you can reach out to them by phone or through their website.

2. Get an Accurate Estimate

Most moving companies will have survey requirements. They will work with you to create a cube sheet, also known as an estimated inventory, for your move. They may also offer you the option to do a video survey; however, it is important to note that this only works well if you have a home with no more than two bedrooms. 

To get the most accurate quote, we recommend that you request an on-site estimate. We suggest that you schedule this at least four weeks before your target move date so that you have enough time to prepare for everything else.
