Self-Moving Guide

  • The two essential ingredients of a successful move are manpower and hauling capacity.
  • Calculate whether moving yourself actually makes economic sense. Add up all moving costs including boxes, packing material, gas, meals, truck rental and insurance. Compare it against a quote from a professional moving company.

Four questions to ask yourself:

  1. Do I have time to pack and move all my goods?
  2. Am I physically capable of moving heavy pieces?
  3. Do I know enough people who can and are willing to help me move?
  4. Can I drive a rental truck? If not, who can?

If you do rent a truck, it's better to rent a larger one than you think you'll need. Otherwise, you will have to make more than one trip.

Joe called us in Halifax and listened to our needs and offered an extensive list of homes to view. When we arrived in Calgary for our house hunting visit, we worked him very hard, 23 viewings in one day, very long day!. Joe was patient and a well informed, supportive partner throughout the negotiations. He helped us find a lawyer and someone to review the condominium reports. Given we could not be in Calgary for closing, Joe videoed a final inspection for us, But the service did not end with the sale! Joe supplied referrals for painters and carpet cleaners, picked up our keys as we could not be there for closing"
