After the first year of school many students choose to abandon their  small dorm room space and secure an apartment in a nearby community.  Of course dorm living is drastically different from apartment living. Most students usually have their parents come up a month or two earlier to pick out furniture, while some scour area garage sales for treasures.  Either way sprucing up an apartment involves much more work than hanging a few pics in the dorm.

Believe it or not, some students even hire an Austin moving company to assist with their move.  This is usually a minimal expense seeing as though there are not a lot of items to move.  Others rent a small moving van to haul their furnishings to their new place.  When possible I always recommend either hiring a moving company, or least one or two movers to assist you with your do-it-yourself move.  Have a great semester!

If you’re hiring Austin movers it’s important to select a first rate moving company.  There are a few things I recommend checking before booking your move. 

• Check their BBB rating
• Search AMSA to see if the company is listed in their database
• Make certain their movers are background checked
• Ask if they’re licensed and registered with the state
• Find out if they hire full time movers or day laborers
• Check their moving reviews

Moving scams are highly prevalent these days.  To ensure you don’t fall prey to this type of moving nightmare book your move with a first-rate Austin mover who has a history of successful moves in this area and abroad.
