So you're thinking about moving, huh?

If so, you're certainly not alone. Plenty of people move every single year for a variety of reasons. Whether it's upsizing, downsizing, a job transition or transfer, or you're in a nasty conflict with a neighbor that you don't want to resolve, moving can be stressful. The team here at Riverside Utah Self Storage wants to help you have your most successful move yet! Here are our top three tips to make that your reality.

Tip #1 - Put stuff into boxes

It may seem like an obvious or silly tip, but so many times we get overwhelmed with the move that we procrastinate packing. Or we overthink it and get so organized that we make the job way more difficult than it needs to be. Simply putting stuff into boxes will make as quickly as possible will make your move so much more smooth. If you happen to have some time between when you have to move out of your current place and are able to move into your new one, you may want to consider storing those boxes full of your stuff in one of our self storage units.

Tip #2 - Create a cleaning checklist

This is both helpful for the house you're moving out of and the one you're moving into. Include vacuuming, washing the walls and baseboards, scrubbing the toilets, cleaning the windows, and any other relevant cleaning task to ensure the place is left as clean as possible. This will give you incredible peace of mind, and creating the checklist will help you stay focused and on top of things.

Tip #3 - Don't be afraid to call in a pro

Believe it or not, some people have made a career out of moving. There are loads of moving companies throughout the country that can help you take care of things. Of course if you're on a tight budget this tip might not be for you, but if you have some cash to spend and could use a hand, you won't regret hiring a moving company. 

Bonus tip - Find a local self storage company

It doesn't matter if you're buying a place or renting one, you will ultimately have to spend some time in limbo.
