Moving tips make task easier

Realtors at Re/Max (such as RE/MAX MAIN LINE) say you can avoid some hidden costs of moving by making good choices at the start, but be sure to have extra cash for costs that are unexpected. Some moving tips:

* Buy moving boxes and packing tape in bulk to ensure an adequate supply.

* Provide food and water for movers to boost morale. Tip them when the job is done.

* If possible, move on nights or weekends, to avoid using your work days off or vacations.

* If you rent a truck, you need to have insurance. Check to see if your homeowner's policy covers possessions during the move.

* Calculate gas expenses for each vehicle included in the move.

* Calculate restaurant and hotel bills.

* If two vehicles will be involved, get cell phones or walkie-talkies to ensure good communication on the road.
