Moving Apps to Ensure a Smooth Move

Moving Apps for a Smooth Move

You have all the common apps already installed. Everything from social media, video, alarms, appointment calendars, as well as many others. There are apps that have been developed that help you plan and stay organized during every phase of moving. With us being your Charlotte moving company, we recommend these apps to help you with a move that is stress free and even fun.

Searching For a Home

The first thing in planning your move is finding where your new home will be. With the technology we have today, all you have to do is enter the zip code of the area you want to search. These apps will show you the inside and out of the house.

Our Recommended Apps

ZillowZillow

This is probably the best app for viewing houses currently on the market. You can see pictures and videos of different areas of the house, both interior and exterior. The app also shows pricing, details of the house condition, the type of neighborhood, as well as when it was built. Zillow is great for finding homes for sale or rent.

Apartments.comApartments.com

Searching for an apartment is much easier using their app. You are able to sort listings by price, location, and condition. You can check availability in real time and see up to date photos. A tip by our pros is to take a screenshot of the listing showing the price. Sometimes rates will increase and having a record of the ad price might get you the lower rate.

Pack Like A Pro

Packing is not throwing all your stuff into random boxes. You will need a way to keep track of what boxes your belongings are in. The movers will need to know where to place the boxes. You do not want to rummage through boxes to find the items you need right away.

The Apps We Recommend

SortlySortly

The visual inventory list is one of the best features on this app. No longer will you have to write the contents of everything and put a label on each box. Instead you will take pictures of everything while you pack, add them to an inventory list, then print a QR code that you stick to individual boxes. Once you start unpacking in your new home, you will know where everything is by scanning the QR code.

MagicPlanMagicPlan

Knowing how you want your furniture and floor plan is made easy with the MagicPlan app. This is an awesome tool to use if you are moving to a smaller place and need to see how your furniture and floor plan will look. Once you have everything the way you like it, all you have to do is put a label on things so the movers know where to place your furniture.

Reducing Clutter

One of the things that happen when preparing for a move is coming across clutter and unused items, or even things never unpacked from a previous move. A great time for getting rid of unused items is before you move. This will save packing and unpacking of clutter that is never used. Have an online sale and make some money on items you no longer use. Easy Movers offers storage and can assist with staging household items in one of two of our warehouses in Pineville and Charlotte.  When you are ready for the items in your new home we will bring it back and place it in the rooms where you want it.
