Episode Notes

Sometimes, Music City moves are anything but minor. Whether you're heading down the street or into another Nashville suburb, moving can be a major project. Struggling with the stress that comes with relocation? You have enough to worry about while making sure your family is ready to go, and that’s why Nashville experts are listing their top tips for local moves. Follow at will.

Timing Is Everything. If you’re targeting a summer move, you’re not alone.

It’s a busy time for Nashville movers. After all, the Music City’s warmer seasonal weather makes handling furniture less of a struggle compared to those rainy, wintry days. Plus, more homes tend to get sold this time of year, so it’s no wonder people tend to move from June to August.

What’s more, school’s out for the summer! That means you’re safe in the knowledge that your move won’t be causing any unnecessary disruption to the academic year for your kids.

Keep the Kids Away! Of course, that doesn’t mean your kids should necessarily be around on moving day! Toddlers running around your feet can cause a lot of stress at the best of times, let alone when you and your movers are trying to balance heavy boxes and unwieldy furniture.

One local crew, True Friends Moving Company, shares its industry-proven wisdom…

“Have a plan for children and pets. To keep kids and pets safe and secure, keep them away from the hustle and bustle of the move. Now is a great time for a play date at a friend's house or a day at the pet spa.”

Slow, Steady Preparation. Slow and steady wins the race… and also makes moving much less of a hassle.

It’s no secret that leaving everything to the last moment will lead to an eruption of anxiety when that moment finally comes. The same is true of moving. That’s why experts recommend that you take some time, each day, to clean, pack, and prepare individual rooms for your upcoming move.

It doesn’t have to be a lot - just one simple task on a daily basis will help you compartmentalize and get just a little bit more ready in easily manageable chunks. Keep track of your progress and your achievements, no matter how small.

Closets emptied? Items donated? Books boxed up? Celebrate small victories whenever you can!

Leave the Hard Work to Hard Workers. When the big day arrives, there’s no need for you to break a sweat. Local moving crews make a living out of efficiency and safety, so trust them to load everything into their spacious vans. And many teams can easily accommodate house or apartment moves, so maneuvering heavy loads downstairs or through narrow hallways won’t be a problem.

Find Out the Costs Beforehand. We’ve discussed the busy nature of summer bookings. Don’t get caught in a price rush. Look for companies that'll offer transparent, upfront cost estimates. It’s natural to base your hiring decisions on affordability and an understanding of the expected hourly rates - so don’t be afraid to ask beforehand.

And, above all, get your money’s worth! From local moves to long-distance relocations, professional movers can help you out with packing, storage, and more. So don’t miss out.
