Moving into a new home is a delightful experience. 
You’ll soon be free from the clutches of monthly rental, the hassles of shifting homes every year and the guilt of restricting your kids to express their creativity on the walls. But, just like having to scale a peak before you get to the vantage point, you have to go through the shifting-process before moving into your new home. Whether it turns out a nightmare or a simple process depends on how well you plan it.

Here are a few tips to consider if you are all set to take the plunge and can’t wait to step into your new ready-to-move house.

Read reviews and ratings: We are living in a technologically advanced world and there’s almost everything available at the tap of the finger. So then, why not make the most of it? Get an insider’s view on the service of the company you wish to deal with. Understand their attitude towards the customer. Know why they the best option to go with? So on and so forth. You’ll find the answer to every question if you pay attention to the reviews, and at times, read between the lines.

Speak to friends: While online review and ratings help a lot, the good old way
of speaking to your friends for an opinion helps as well. If you have friends who recently moved or know of anyone who moved, you might get the right piece of advice. All it takes it to pick up the phone and say ‘hello’. You’ll be surprised at what a simple hello can do.

Get a few quotes: The most expensive isn’t always the best and less expensive isn’t always bad. If you believe in this theory, you should first get a few quotes from companies who have a good reputation, and later decide as to which one to go with. Truth be told, you don’t have make this choice primarily based on cost; you can compare the costs with ratings, credibility, etc and then choose the best.

Payment options: Full time payment, part payment or payment after the entire
job is done; there is every option out there offered to customers in every business, as it is with movers. Choose a payment option that fits your pocket and your situation. As a rule of thumb, negotiate before you crack the deal. However, know where to draw the line because quality and peace of mind are as important as price.

Do your research at the right time: Reading reviews, speaking to friends, getting a quote… Do all of these in advance and not during the eleventh hour. Research in the last minute isn’t going to be of much help as you won’t have the time to validate it. So, its best to do your research a few weeks in advance, or even a couple of months in advance.
