Moving This Year? Here Are Some Tips If You Are Planning On Relocating

Tip #1: Get Rid of Stuff Before You Move

Now we are not suggesting you throw out all of your beloved possessions, but it is a good idea to lighten your load as much as possible in order to cut down on moving costs. The less you have to pack up and move, especially across country, the cheaper the cost of transportation. It may be a good idea to go through your belongings and part with the things you no longer have a need for by holding a garage sale or donating them to the local thrift store.

Tip #2: Compare Moving Companies Before You Settle

We recommend getting pricing estimates from multiple moving companies before you make your ultimate decision. Not only should you look at the cost each one is charging, but you should also take the time to look up their reviews. You do not want a moving company handling your precious belongings who is known for breaking things or taking an unreasonable amount of time to pack your things. Apple Moving DFW is an award winning moving company that handles approximately 5,000 moves every year at an affordable rate.

Tip #3: Choose the Right Time to Move

Typically if you choose to move during the summer, that is also when everyone else has chosen to move since kids out of school. Moving companies might be stretched too thin, therefore causing rates to increase by up to 20 percent. Additionally, it is usually cheaper to move during the middle of the month because at the beginning and end of the month is when people’s apartment leases are often up.

Tip #4: Use Your Move as a Tax Write-Off

This only applies if you are moving for work purposes, but if you are the IRS allows for tax deductions on moving costs such as boxes, traveling expenses, truck rentals, gas, airfare, and more. The new job must be farther than 50 miles from your previous home or workplace and these moving expenses must have occurred within one year of your initial report date at your new job. It may be a good idea to speak with your tax adviser first to ensure that your move will qualify as a deduction.
