Ideally, you should start planning your move at least 8 weeks before your moving date. This will give you enough time to find a moving company, start packing, and make any necessary arrangements. Begin by deciding on a timeline of when you want to move and start gathering materials such as boxes and furniture pads (moving companies supply this if they pack you). Researching different moving services can be very helpful in making the process smoother. Make sure to check with your lease agreement or mortgage documents if there is anything you need to do regarding your current living situation. It's also important to forward your mail before the move (this can be done online), and make sure all utilities are shut off at your current place. Planning ahead of time is key for making the transition go as smoothly as possible - starting two to three months prior to the move is recommended for maximum preparedness! [/fusion_toggle][fusion_toggle title="Q: What should I do with items that I don't want to take with me when moving?" open="yes" title_color="#333338" content_color="#000000"] A: To lighten the load of your move, it's important to decide what items are truly necessary for the journey ahead. Donate, sell, or give away items that you don't want to take with you. Consider holding a yard sale, listing items for sale online, or donating them to a charity. You could also give items to friends or family members who might need them. Or consider hiring a professional organizer to prep your entire house for the move. DO NOT MOVE items to your new house you do not need, use or love! [/fusion_toggle][fusion_toggle title="Q: How much does it cost to move?" open="yes" title_color="#333338" content_color="#000000"] A: Moving can be an expensive process. Depending on the distance of your move and the services you use, you could easily be looking at thousands of dollars to complete a successful relocation. From packing supplies, professional movers, storage costs and necessary insurance, it's important to consider all expenses when planning a move. Before deciding on a service provider, get multiple quotes and compare the options so that you can ensure you cover any necessary costs with peace of mind. [/fusion_toggle][fusion_toggle title="Q: What should I look for in a moving company?" open="yes" title_color="#333338" content_color="#000000"] A: When you're searching for a moving company, there are several factors that should be taken into account. Look for a moving company that is licensed, insured, and has a good reputation. Read reviews and ask for references from friends and family. Get multiple quotes from different companies to compare prices. Make sure that the company you choose has experience with the type of move you're making, whether it's local or long-distance. [/fusion_toggle][fusion_toggle title="Q: What are some tips for packing when moving?" open="yes" title_color="#333338" content_color="#000000"] A: Start by packing items that you don't use often, such as seasonal clothing or extra dishes. Label each box with the contents and the room it belongs in. Use packing materials like bubble wrap and packing paper to protect fragile items. Pack heavier items at the bottom of boxes and lighter items on top. Don't overpack boxes as they could break or be difficult to move. Size small boxes are the easiest to move and lift! [/fusion_toggle][fusion_toggle title="Q: How should I pack my belongings for a move?" open="yes" title_color="#333338" content_color="#000000"] A: Moving can be an exciting time, but also very stressful. Start by decluttering and getting rid of any items that you don't need or use anymore. Pack your items in labeled boxes and prioritize heavy items on the bottom and light on top for easier transport. Wrap fragile items with towels or pillows as well as traditional packing materials for extra protection. Load them onto the moving truck only after it has been packed with furniture items and larger appliances where they won’t move around too much. Unpack as soon as possible once you arrive at your destination to make the transition smoother! [/fusion_toggle][fusion_toggle title="Q: How can I make sure my belongings are safe during the move?" open="yes" title_color="#333338" content_color="#000000"] A: Use sturdy boxes and packing materials to protect your belongings. Label each box with its contents and which room it belongs in. Make sure fragile items are properly wrapped and packed securely inside boxes so they won’t shift around during transit. Take important items with you rather than packing them into boxes. You may also want to look into hiring professional movers who specialize in the safe handling of your possessions. Ensure any movers you hire have insurance coverage so they'll take responsibility for any damage incurred during transport. With all these steps in mind, you'll have peace of mind knowing that your move will be successful and stress-free! [/fusion_toggle][fusion_toggle title="Q: How can I make the moving process less stressful?" open="yes" title_color="#333338" content_color="#000000"] A: There are several simple steps you can take in order to make the moving process smoother and less overwhelming. One suggestion is to create a packing timeline – starting early will help ensure you don’t end up rushing and trying to do everything in one day. You might also find it beneficial to organize your items as you go and label your boxes before loading them into the truck; this will make unpacking much easier once you get settled into your new home. Organizing a moving party is another fun way to de-stress the process. Invite friends over and celebrate your fresh start! Having friends by your side can make all the difference during a hectic time like moving. Finally, consider hiring a professional move management company like Simplify + Move LA . These professional home organizers handle everything from decluttering, packing, hiring the movers, unpacking, organizing and every small step along the way. Moving can be incredibly stressful, but it doesn’t have to be! [/fusion_toggle][/fusion_accordion][/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container]

We contracted Cori & company for packing/coordinating the move/unpacking my mom, who is a senior and was downsizing from her townhouse to an independent senior housing apartment. They were friendly and did a great job. Everything went up on the walls, things were put away and even the bed was made. Highly recommend.

The team at Simplify and Move are amazing. They moved my mom from a two bedroom condo into a one bedroom apartment in an assisted living. They figured out how to fit her important items in the new place and had it all arranged and beautiful on move in day. They also helped us buy the items we needed for the new place--a smaller bed, a smaller table, sheets, etc. Overall they made the transition so much easier. Cori is wonderful to work with and her team really understands how to work with seniors. Thank you so much.

We had a great experience with simplify and move. We recently moved from Virginia to LA and lost over 1,000 sq ft of living space and storage in the process. We had way too much stuff and I was completely overwhelmed. Cori’s team came in and over the course of two days very efficiently helped me cull down our belongings and then organize and store what was left in ways that were practical and sustainable. The result was truly life changing and I feel like our home is so much more livable now. I highly recommend them and hope to work with them again in the future!

A big shout out to Cori Gordon and her team for making the transition for my Dad from his Condo in Glendale to Morningstar Pasadena Senior Community. I can honestly say, no one wants to handle a move plus provide advise to a parent on downsizing, etc.Cori Gordon has figured it out and makes the move for you with "No Stress." She starts off with an introductory visit to the new location, maps it out, shows up to the place you are moving from and designs the new home base for the furniture, etc. You agree on the estimate provided and off to the races you go.If you try to say..."I can handle the packing for my parents & organizing, move myself," you are grossly mistaken. Trust me, you will want to retain Cori and her team to handle the packing, move and unpacking. Thanks again to Simplify and Move!
