Top 5 Things To Do Before Your Move

Everyone knows moving involves a bunch of chores that need to be taken care of. All My Sons of Austin and the Austin moving crew have put together a quick Top 5 list of things that need to get done the next time you decide to pack up and head out to a brand new place:

Sign a lease or buy a home. Before you move, have a place your happy with. Don’t move if you haven’t settled on a place you like.

Find a reputable moving company you can trust. That’s very important, there are many scams out there, you don’t want to be caught in it. Check credentials, do your research and ask for referrals.

Fill out a change of address form. Make sure all your mail gets forwarded to your new home, you don’t want to miss anything important.

Cancel utilities and set them up in your new home. This way you won’t be paying extra for your former home and you’ll already have utilities in your new place. This is important especially if you work from home or need the internet.

When packing, don’t forget to prepare an extra box or two that you can ‘live out’ of for the first few days in your new place. Everything will still be in boxes, but you’ll probably need a few essentials like a toothbrush, work clothes, cell phone charger and anything else you use on a daily basis.

Thanks All My Sons of Austin

You made moving my entire telemarketing business to Austin as easy as can be. Thanks for the professionalism and friendliness of all the Austin moving crew. You guys did such an amazing job. I was really impressed. Everyone showed up on time and ready to work. I didn’t have to worry about anything, just give directions every now and then. I’m glad my friend Jerry told me about you guys. He had used your services for a residential move a few months ago, from Salado to his new 3-bedroom place in Austin. Anyhow, I found your phone number online and called to ask if you did corporate moves. I found your website to be very helpful. It had a ton of info about the company as well as reviews and blogs. I’m happy to say that my business was up and running in two days after you had transferred all my equipment, my phones, computers, desks, and all that stuff. Thanks a lot All My Sons of Austin for being so professional, it was truly a pleasure working with you guys. I will recommend you to all my business partners, vendors, friends and family. You really deserve the business and the success.
