Having moved many times and internationally, as well, I'm sensitized to the issue of how important movers are to the process. But lots of people treat this as an after-thought. Great job and great topic, Jeff.

I've moved a bunch of times and worked with clients who have, especially a long distance, and you just can't make assumptions about what they can and will move, and how, or won't. And the costs can add up

I've moved a bunch of times with a variety of movers, so I've learned a few things. And I've had some clients with some challenging moves, too
I appreciate the compliment
Jeff
Thanks for your post, Jeff Dowler CRS. We need to be aware of the challenges of moving, especially if we have the extra items you mentioned.
Eventually, our toys own us.
Jeff- excellent topic. Movers need to know how they will navigate steps or small streets, for example. We've moved our bass boat a few times. And we've had to have a special crate made for our mounted turkey (in flight) and ducks. Not inexpensive.

Thanks for the compliment. It can be overwhelming for people who are moving, especially a distance, with so many considerations. And often people are not aware of all that this can cost, especially for specialty items. And the location of the home, the old one or the new one, can be a challenge in some cases. The list goes on and on about the things about a move that people need to be aware of.

Ha ha, love your comment. But I know a few things about the topic.

Thanks for stopping by. You're right about the toys. And people don't necessarily think about the issue of making a move with these things until it happens. I know some people who have given them up because of the hassle and cost of moving certain items.

Oh yes steps and small steep driveways can be a real chore. I always feel for the movers having to deal with these issues. And in some cases it can be a real challenge with certain pieces of furniture because of narrow hallways, steep stairs and so on.
Sounds like you have had some good moving experiences, too!

Great post and video is well done. Having relocated to 4 different states I can attest. But Boston to CA?! Wow! An entirely new culture for you! Insurance is a big one. Love the questionnaire topic at the end.
Hi Jan Green
Yes MA to CA was an adventure. But had travelled here many times so not as big a shock as it could have been. Things ARE different - es. the way we do RE as compared to back east. Can't beat the weather.

Yes Jeff, I have had sellers that needed just that. I just did a sale where my client, the seller was out of the country and we had to get packing and storage service to make a very good offer work. We are problem solvers.
Happy Holiday to you and your family.
