Selling a house and going through the process of buying a new one at the same time can be stressful. When you add in having to plan your move, things can become overwhelming.

While hiring a residential moving company may slightly increase your moving costs, it is well worth the expense. Some of the top reasons why it makes sense to hire a residential moving company when you're moving into a new house include the following.

Convenience

Almost no one looks forward to moving-- it is a tedious chore that needs to be done. Not the mention the fact that if you have large furniture that needs to be moved, you'll most likely have to beg friends or family to help you with your move, which is not something that most people like to do. One of the best things about hiring a residential moving company is the fact that doing so is so convenient. You won't have to worry about anything-- a reputable moving company will show up on time, load up the moving truck, and then unload everything for you in your new home.

Avoid Injuries

Many people do not realize how physically taxing moving can be, especially if there are heavy boxes or large pieces of furniture involved. If you're not experienced in moving heavy items, opting to move all of your belongings on your own can leave you at risk for injuries. It is not uncommon for back injuries to occur when people try to move heavy objects and don't know how to do so safely. If is also possible for injuries to happen if a heavy item is dropped. When you hire a residential moving company, you will be able to avoid potential injuries.

Safe Transport

Many people own a lot of expensive belongings, and these items need to be moved carefully. Unfortunately, if you move on your own and break something, you'll be out of luck. For example, if your big-screen TV is dropped while you are loading it yourself, you will have to pay out of pocket to replace it. Residential moving companies employ experienced movers, so damage is less likely to occur. However, if any of your belongings are damaged, the moving company's insurance company will reimburse you.
