Great Job from Austin Movers

I personally wanted to thank the local Austin movers for helping move my marketing office from a location in Cedar Park to another place in Cedar Park too. My office isn’t too big, we have 6 employees total but we did have a lot of equipment to deal with. Lots of filing cabinets, desks, computers, printers, office supplies, even a conference table and chairs. The account manager that works with me had used All My Sons of Austin about three months before for a residential move because she had bought a house that was closer to the office, so she told me all about them. When I called, they told me they did commercial moves too so I booked them right away. The day of the move, everything went really smoothly. The Austin moving crew was really professional and efficient. They dind’t waste anytime, and got right to business. Before I knew it, desks were loaded on their moving truck, computers, the conference table and the numerous moving boxes we had packed with office supplies, trade books and all that good stuff. I was really happy I chose to work with All My Sons of Austin. This testimonial is by Will F., Cedar Park, TX

Types of Moving Boxes

When you’re moving the first thing you need to do is gather up some boxes to securely pack your personal belongings. And as moving professionals, All My Sons of Austin suggest you really get an array of different moving boxes that are going to serve your residential move differently. For example, to pack the clothing from your closet, don’t just go for any old box, purchase wardrobe boxes that make it easy for you to transfer and unpack the clothes in your new home. A wardrobe box has a rod on which you can hang your clothes and is heavy duty so your things are protected and stored while in the moving truck. A wardrobe box is really like a portable closet. Small moving boxes are ideal for smaller items that you’d like to keep bundled up and together. Thin CDs, extra canned foods, toiletries, small kitchen items or even small appliances like little blenders that you’d like to keep all the parts to. Medium and large boxes is for everything else, like toys, linens, bigger appliances, books and other personal belongings. All My Sons Moving and Storage invites you to shop for different moving kits and boxes on our website so you can find professional grade materials to pack your precious things in, especially fine china and collectibles.

Don’t Forget About The First-Time Homebuyer Tax Credit

All My Sons of Austin has mentioned the First-Time Homebuyer Tax Credit of up to $8,000 before but we just want to remind people that it’s extended until April 30, 2010. This legislation was passed by Congress in order to stimulate the U.S. housing market. So if you’re in the market to buy a home, you should take advantage. To qualify as a ‘first-time homebuyer’, you can’t have owned a residence in the past. The house you’d potentially want to buy can represent all types of homes, single-family homes, condos, townhouses and co-ops. The buyer’s credit amount will be determined based on the price of the home and the buyer’s income. Under this legislation, the credit may only be awarded on homes that are bought for less than $800,000. So as long as you have a written biding contract to purchase a property by April 30,2010, you’ll have until July 1, 2010 to actually close. If you find a dream home in the Austin area, don’t forget your professional movers, the Austin local movers to do the move for you.

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.
