Self-Moving Suggestions
Moving yourself is an affordable alternative whether you want to save money on your Georgia move, or simply want control over your stuff from point A to point B. Before deciding to relocate, consider the following factors:
- Do you want your family and friends to assist you with the moving of boxes and furniture, and are they available?
- Are you, your friends, or your family physically able to relocate your things?
- What contingency preparations do you have in place in case of inclement weather or an accident?
You can always employ local movers to assist you at the beginning and/or end of your journey.
Keep your receipts for your tax preparer whether you relocate yourself or hire a professional moving company. Check with your employer to see if they would cover your relocation charges if you are relocating for a job.
After reading our Moving to Georgia guide, you should have all of the tools and knowledge you need to make the move — and settling in— as seamless as possible.
