Moving from one place to another is a daunting task. It's a stressful job and also costs a lot if not planned well. Here are some of smart ways on how you can cut out on your transfer cost.
- Gather your family and close friends. Do you really need to hire a moving truck service? Before calling the service, check if you really need one. You may just need the support of some family and friends who have a truck. This moving advice can save you a lot of dollars since you are actually doing away with a huge chunk of your expenses allotted for moving. Make sure to inform your family and friends some weeks ahead to check if they are available on the day you're planning to move out of your old home.
- Move during winter. According to Lior Rachmany, CEO of New York's Dumbo Moving + Storage, the best season to move is during winter since you get a good deal on prices. Winter is a dead season, and transferring home during off-peak days are relatively more affordable. This real estate advice will definitely save you a lot of money as everyone knows that moving during winter is cheaper.
- Pack light. Realtor advises that you can save a lot of dollars by having less things to move. For instance, before moving out, you can have a garage sale to lessen the things that you don't need in your new space. You can also donate some of your excess things such as old clothes, furniture, shoes, etc. to charity.
- Find free boxes. You don't need to invest on nice boxes that only cost more. Be resourceful. There are many shops such as pastry, coffee, restaurants and liquor stores that only throw their empty boxes. These boxes could be yours as some of the shop owners or managers are even glad to give it for free, according to Real Estate.
Plan ahead and be resourceful to save on your finances when moving out. You don't need to spend on everything when there are ways you can do to get some things for free.
