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]

The entire team was fantastic！All of the personnel were very pleasant professional and a joy to work with. They arrived on time we're very efficient and we're very helpful with everything that they did.I did run into some trouble because I was unable to take some things from my previous residence and they made adjustments to what they packed and they help me purchase new items to make my move complete.I would highly recommend the entire group

My dad was moving from his home of 55 years to a one bedroom senior living apartment. We'd gotten several recommendations for senior move specialists, and Cori was the one who truly got it. "You have one chance when your dad walks through the door for him to feel that this is home", she said, and working with Simplify and Move meant that by the end of move-in day everything was in place. The team's detail-oriented and kindhearted approach was exactly what we needed to figure out what should be moved. The packers and movers together ensured that numerous antiques arrived in perfect condition.My siblings - who don't live nearby - initially said we could manage the move ourselves. I insisted that we needed an expert. At the end of the day, the sib who came down to help said that they were wrong, and that hiring Simplify & Move was absolutely the right thing to do. You won't regret it either, and you'll still be talking to your family members at the end of the day because the moving stress will not be resting on your shoulders.

The girls at Simplify and Move were fantastic. They helped move my mom seamlessly into a senior living facility (which is a tough move). They were so helpful and so kind to my mom and I from start to finish. They handled literally everything and the place looked amazing and really felt like home within hours of moving day which really helped make the transition a little easier. Highly highly recommend!!

Simplify and Move is absolutely top notch! Their move management service is truly one of the best. From start to finish they take care of everything for you. They do all the pre move decluttering, oversee all the packing and movers, then completely unpack and organize your new home for you. And I mean pristinely organize your new home. They also donate or dispose of anything you are not taking with you which can be a lot more complex than people realize especially with disposing of electronics. 10/10 highly recommend them.
