The custom of relying on friends to help make a move from one place to another has been replaced by reliance on professional movers.

Professional moving companies offer a wide range of service options, including professional packing. It could cost you less if you pack your things in your own containers. However, some movers will not insure fragile items, such as dishes or glassware, if they do not pack them.

Begin your preparations for the move by calling several companies for estimates. And start early! Some companies want three-to-six weeks advance notice. Ask each company how they compute the charges, how much time they expect the move to take, and what kind of insurance coverage they offer against loss or damage. If you have to store your things temporarily, ask what arrangements can be made.

Long-distance movers may send a representative to your home for an estimate, while local companies may quote an hourly rate over the phone. Be sure to ask the same questions of each company so that when you compare bids you will be using the same criteria.

Born and raised in Germany, I moved to the United States in 2004 and I have spent the past 6 years dedicated to the realms of real estate, specializing in regular and military relocation. My husband currently works for the army as a firefighter, but was previously enlisted, resulting in my experience in relocation. I feel that I have been directly led to this chapter of real estate due to my experiences and skill set. Being involved in relocations personally has given me a thorough understanding of the process as well as allowed me to really connect with the emotions and concerns clients may be experiencing. I've been there. I can easily step into a clients' shoes to really relate with their needs having been the client so many times in the past. Moving is hard, especially when you have a family to uproot. Working with a relocation specialist that has a vast knowledge with the areas they cover is very important. That's why I make sure to be prepared for any questions my clients may have. I am trilingual in English, German and Turkish, allowing me to work with a wider range of clients and I love it. Being able to experience different cultures and values held by clients is a definite perk for me. Knowing that I am able to have a positive impact on someone's moving experience actually means a lot to me, because I've been there. I've experience those ups and downs, those potential worries that sometimes appear. Moving can be stressful, because aside from the packing and organizing, you're leaving what's familiar to you. As a relocation specialist, I will come to the table with full confidence and knowledge to enable me to provide assistance. I strive to be the best that I can be and to leave my clients happy and comfortable. Let me show you what a relocation done right is like. Moving can be overwhelming to begin with; I want to make the difference.
