If This Is Happening, It Could Be Time To Move!

in , , ,

Have you been bit by the moving bug lately? If so, you are not alone.  According to the National Association of REALTORS®, more than 8.9 million people have relocated since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.  No doubt, moving companies have been busy!  Our next series of articles will cover some signs and indications that it may be time for a change.  Let’s get started:

FEELING CRAMPED

If you are starting to feel really cramped in your space, then it may be time to consider looking for something more spacious. Living in a cramped space can be frustrating, even affecting your mood, sleep, etc.

DOWNSIZING

Maybe your roommate has decided to move on, or perhaps you are a new empty nester.  If you find that you have too much space, then it may be time to consider saving money by downsizing.  Living in a smaller but comfortable abode means less cleaning and work, leaving more time for fun!

COST INCREASES

If rent increases are becoming too much for your budget to handle, then it may be time to consider moving. Changes in insurance rates and taxes can also take their toll. If your rent or mortgage is so high that you don’t have any extra funds to spend on leisure or other activities, then it may be time to consider moving.

Our next article will cover more indications that it may be time to consider calling both a real estate agency and a full service moving company.

Garage Sale Preparation

Garage Sale Preparation

in , , , , ,

We are continuing our series on preparing for your garage sale.  Our full service movers recommend downsizing and/or getting rid of items you don’t plan to use in your new home.  This saves time and money over the long term.  Our previous article covered the first steps in garage sale preparation including determining the date(s) of your garage sale, organizing items, and cleaning the items to make them look their best.  Today, we will look at three more garage sale preparation tips to consider.

PRICE ITEMS

A key to a successful garage sale is to strategically price the items you are selling. People who attend garage sales are often looking for a “deal”. Price the items so you have some wiggle room to negotiate.

RECRUIT FRIENDS TO HELP

Buy some pizzas and sodas and recruit as many friends as you can to help!  This will not only make the day go faster but will also ease the burden of doing everything yourself.

ADVERTISE!!

Be sure to advertise your garage sale in local newspapers, homeowners’ association newsletters and with street signs. The more traffic you have, the quicker you will be able to sell the items and wrap up the day.

Moving During Your Golden Years

Moving During Your Golden Years

in , , , ,

There comes a point in the lives of most senior citizens when downsizing becomes necessary.  Moving into a 55+ community, apartment, independent living facility or assisted living facility can not only help simplify things, but also keeps you engaged with planned activities, events and outings.  However, downsizing is difficult, especially for seniors.  If you are considering making a move during your golden years, a full service moving company can help make the process easier.

Today, we will take a look at a few tips to consider when moving during your golden years.

PASS DOWN ITEMS TO CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN

It can be very difficult to part with items that have a lifetime of memories attached to them.  This is the time to consider passing these items down to your children and grandchildren.  Not only will this give you peace of mind, but it will ensure these items remain in the family for the next generation to talk about and enjoy.

HAVE AN ESTATE SALE

Once you have sorted through your belongings and set aside those you either wish to keep or pass down to children and/or grandchildren, consider having an estate sale. This is a great way to ensure your belongings are purchased by people who want to have them while making a little cash on the side.

HIRE PROFESSIONAL MOVERS AND PACKERS

Now that you have downsized, it is time to hire a full service moving company to handle the rest.  In most cases, movers and packers can conduct moves to apartments, independent living, and assisted living facilities in a few hours.

3 Guys Moving is a full service moving company with more than three decades of experience handling all types of moves.  Our long distance and local movers take time to ensure your move is quick and smooth.  If you need piano moving, our piano movers are among the best in the business.  Some moving companies offer piano moving, but their piano movers lack the experience and knowledge to do the job right.  Remember, not every full service moving company has your best interests at heart, which is what makes 3 Guys Moving is different from most moving companies.  Give us a call to learn more today.

It’s Time to Downsize

in , , ,

We are continuing our series on tips to help you downsize.  We know moving is stressful. 3 Guys Moving is a full service moving company that takes pride in helping ease some of that stress and providing a positive outcome for our customers.  Our long-distance and local movers are experienced and treat your belongings like their own!

Our previous article discussed how decluttering before the movers and packers arrive is one of the first steps you should consider when downsizing.  Today, we will address furniture.  If you want to downsize, chances are some of your furniture will not fit in your new home/apartment/condo. You will first need to decide what furniture you wish for the movers and packers to bring to your new home. Heirlooms, pianos, antiques and other specialty items are among the furniture most people want to keep.  If you have a piano, our piano movers can help determine the best placement in your new home. Thoughts to consider:

  • Would it be better to purchase new furniture or move what I have?
  • Could someone in my family or friends use some of my old furniture?
  • Should I move heirloom pieces and antiques into my new home or place them in climate-controlled storage?

Remember, when it comes to downsizing, less is more.  The large sectional that fit perfectly in your family room may not look so great or be as functional in a smaller space.  Planning out your furniture before the movers and packers arrive will prevent possible headaches in the future.

If you are searching for full service movers, 3 Guys Moving can help.  We are a preferred moving and storage company with long-distance and local movers who can handle any size move. Not all moving companies are equal.  Come experience the 3 Guys Moving difference today!

Tips for Downsizing

in , , , ,

Whether or not to downsize is a major, emotional decision.  Some people downsize when their children move out of the home.  Others may wish to have a more manageable mortgage or rent payment.  Whatever your reason, there are ways to help make the downsizing process easier.

3 Guys Moving is a full service moving company that has handled thousands of local and long-distance moves.  After more than three decades in business, we’ve seen it all!  And, we’ve handled everything from simple moves to large-scale ones that require specialized skills such as piano moving. When it comes to downsizing, the biggest issue our movers and packers run into is having more to move than the new space allows. Let’s discuss some strategies to help you prepare for downsizing.

The first thing you will want to do is declutter. Many people consider this the toughest of all tasks.  If you are going to downsize, you will need to get rid of things!  And, you will need to do so before the movers and packers arrive.

  • Start with making a list of everything you must keep.
  • Make a list of items you would like to keep.
  • Make a list of things that you do not need to keep.
  • Discuss your lists with family and friends. Are there any items they would like to take off your hands?
  • Consider donating the items you do not need to charity or selling them online or at a garage sale.

If you still find you have too many items for your new place, then go back through your lists and see what else you may be able to get rid of or consolidate.  If you are still at an impasse, you can always have our movers and packers take some of the items to storage.

Part two of our article will discuss more ways to help prepare for downsizing.
