Real Estate Moving and Packing Process and Tips

Every Tuesday, I go into detail a question I frequently get asked. Moving from one location to another can be a lot of work, but check out these strategies to make your move as smooth as possible!


1) Before packing, consider throwing away or donating things you don’t need. It’s a perfect opportunity for a fresh start

2) Buy and find boxes that are of the same size. Most people get cardboard boxes but I would suggest you actually rent plastic boxes. These boxes will be much more sturdy, have handles with them, and will force you to unpack otherwise you will continue to pay rental fees. It’s a great motivator as I’ve seen some families months after they move, still have boxes laying around!

3) Label boxes for which rooms they should be moved to. Since boxes are typically packed last one in, first one out, leave the boxes you want to take out first and most critical to the end.

4) Pack a 72 hour emergency kit like medicine,pan for basic cooking, toilet paper, sleep essentials, and critical documents such as passports in a separate backpack or suitcase. Last thing you would want is for this to be lost in a box somewhere!

5) When moving things, move the furniture first. Since they are generally an odder shape relative to the boxes, you want them to be in the back of the truck or pod.

6) Tie down or strap down in different sections so that things don’t move around during transit.


Now what options do you have for the move?

A) You can just simply do it yourself by renting a Uhaul truck. The cost of these are per day and charged per mile. You can see some options and they also give you an idea as to how much space you would possibly need depending on what square feet of a home you are moving from.


B) You can hire professional movers. Estimates would be at least $500 since you are paying for labor.


C) Another option is for a pod setup. This is a great option as a pod can be delivered to you and you are under less time constraint to do everything in one day. You move what you need into a pod, then it can be shipped directly to the next location or into a storage facility. Here is a sample breakdown as to what to expect here in the Bay Area. I took a move from one city to another city that is about 15 miles away. You can see there will be a monthly cost for the pod rental itself, and other costs when it comes to dropping, moving the pod, and eventually picking up the pod when it’s done.
