Help Your Clients Make a Moving Budget – Texas REALTORS®-2021十大正规彩票app

March 01, 2018

Whether they’re moving themselves or hiring help, be sure your clients account for these expenses. The most common DIY moving expenses:

Packing materials (You can find packing-materials calculators online)
Specialty packing materials (TV boxes, mattress bags, etc.)
Equipment rental (dollies, furniture pads, etc.)
Truck rental
Fuel and mileage costs
Child or pet care
Extra help for packing or loading

Remind them that the busiest time to rent a truck and other equipment is usually around the first of the month—when apartment leases expire.

The most common moving company expenses:

Fees (weight and distance matter most)
Additional valuation coverage to protect belongings
Packing and unpacking services
Furniture assembly/disassembly or appliance hookup/disconnection
Temporary storage

The time of year can also affect the cost of using a moving company. Generally October through April is the cheapest time, and weekdays are cheaper than weekends. Even the best budget should have some cushion for surprises.
