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!

As businesses grow so does the need to expand.  Austin is known for it’s high tech industry. Companies like Dell, HP, Cisco, Apple Inc. and more all have offices within the city.  When it comes to moving an entire office to a new location, the logistics can be overwhelming.  Hiring an experienced Austin commercial mover is critical to ensure your company’s productivity and profit are not affected in the transition.   I made a few notes that should assist you when interviewing your Austin office mover. 

Your Austin Commercial Mover should perform the following:
• Manage every aspect of your move
• Schedule and perform your move according to plan
• Conduct packing meetings with your assigned packers and labelers
• Meet with employees and outside vendors
• Work with all property management sites affected by your move by obtaining proper permits

Your Austin office move should be a stress and worry-free process for you and your staff.  Choosing an experienced Austin mover is half the battle.  Their ability to keep your staff calm is the other, but with their knowledge of these types of moves it should be a no-brainer.  Obtain at least three to five moving quotes from reputable Austin commercial movers and then decide which one works best for you.

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.

If you’re like me, you map things out way ahead of time.  Do you find yourself in a bind with the completion of your new home?  Or is your closing date up in the air?  If you’ve already booked your Austin mover and things are looking uncertain, just give them a call.  Most Austin moving companies understand the complexities associated with home sales and purchases, new constructions and more.  They will work with you to reschedule your move to the date you desire.  Don’t allow your uncertainty to cause you to cancel your Austin relocation.  They can schedule a tentative date for you, and once you have something solid, you can call back and speak to your Austin moving coordinator and confirm.

The school year is just about over.  What does that mean for you and your spouse?  For some it means their last child going off to college leaving them with more than one empty bedroom.  Do you really need all of that space?  If not have you been scouting other places that better suit your needs now?  If so, let me suggest you hire a first-rate Austin mover to execute your move.  There are several Austin moving companies in the area that are experienced with handling all types of moves.  I’m sure your student isn’t moving off to college until the end of the summer, but its not too early to schedule your move.  Call around and secure the best moving rate you can.

Recently we were infiltrated with all sorts of press about the NFL combine.   Scouts in attendance were seeking one thing, the next PRO.  In a few weeks the 2010 NFL draft will get underway. When the draft begins on April 22nd, teams will select those star players who they believe will add value to their organization.

Much like the NFL, Pro Movers are a part of a distinguished group.  These moving professionals are members of the American Moving and Storage Association(AMSA).  AMSA has a set critieria for certifying its members as Pro Movers.  This database of movers showcase the best in quality moving and storage.  Don’t entrust your next Austin move to an amateur.  Hire a Austin Pro Mover.

According to First American CoreLogic, a company that collects data on millions of mortgages packed into securities for investors, reports that nearly one in four home loans nationally is now larger than the actual value of the home that back it. All My Sons of Austin movers learned that in the last three months of 2009, the decreasing home prices and accumulated debts pushed 620,000 homeowners into the negative zone. Nevada has been hit hard, with 70% of homeowners owing more than their homes are worth. Arizona has more than half of the borrowers underwater and Florida has 49%. New York is doing the best, with only 6.3% of borrowers owing more than their homes are worth partly due to the constant housing shortage there. The good news is that according to HousingWatch.com, for most homeowners, this is just a temporary setback and odds are the value will eventually recover. Negative equity in today’s economy is a way of life. It makes it hard to sell or to refinance, but it’s something that a lot of people are experiencing together.

Not all moves in Austin are large ones.  I don’t know how many times I’ve encountered large boxes in the attic and in the garage that needed to be moved.  I never thought about hiring movers.  I always thought it would be too expensive.  However, I now realize that depending on the day of the week, I could really get a couple of great Austin movers at a decent price.  You see, small item moves often require a moving minimum, but if it’s a slow day you might get by with them scratching the minimum to get the business.  I recommend checking first before throwing out your back or someone else’s.  After all, larger items or those that are hard to maneuver should be handled by a professional mover in Austin.

Are you thinking, why did I pick this time of year to move? Can I get it all done?  This time of year is always exciting and being in a new home is definitely an added delight.  And to answer the question of getting it done, yes you can with a little help from All My Sons Moving of Austin.

Just in case packing is the element of moving that you love the least, we have some interesting tips to help your packing process go by without any hassle. Your local Austin Move will be quick, easy, and stress-less

- Pack one room at a time, be sure to label each box specifically and mark the destination of the box (e.g. Kitchen, bathroom)  This will make unpacking much easier.

-Keep the weight of your boxes reasonable.  Moving becomes more difficult if you struggle with the material.

- Be careful with furniture that has polished or painted wood finishes.  Removing tape from the surface could damage it.

- Pack essential seperately.  Those are the items that you’ll want to get to quickly and efficiently.

- Keep a small tool kit to reassembling items that couldn’t be moved as a whole.
