Start Early:
The earlier you begin planning your move, the smoother it will go. Begin preparations 6–8 weeks before your moving day.

Set a Budget:
Outline your moving expenses, including packing supplies, transportation, and moving company fees. This helps avoid surprises.

Pick a date that works best for your schedule, avoiding peak times when possible to save money.

Take Inventory:
Go through each room and decide what to keep, sell, donate, or discard.

Host a Yard Sale:
Earn extra cash by selling unwanted items or donate them to local charities.

Minimize What You Move:
Moving fewer items can reduce costs and packing time.

Research Moving Companies:
Look for experienced, reputable movers like Prestige Moving & Storage. Check reviews, ask for recommendations, and verify credentials.

Request a Quote:
Get an accurate estimate for your move by providing detailed information about your items and destination.

Ask Questions:
