If you’re planning or thinking about moving house, then you might want to take advantage of some of the exciting innovations and apps that exist for those looking for a more seamless process. Moving is always very stressful, but there are now a number of ways to help everything go smoother and even more enjoyable.
Here are just a few of the available services:
1) Use an App
There are numerous apps available for home buyers and home sellers. For example, Redfin is a popular app that helps you to buy or sell your home. It even helps you find your new apartment when you are looking for a new home.
If you are buying a new home, many apps can help you to locate the perfect house and neighborhood. They can even help in organizing removal services.
2) Use your Phone
One of the great things about smartphones is that you can use them for taking pictures of your house and rooms. Take a picture of the exterior, interior, and bathrooms. These images will be useful for the real estate agent when showing you around the house.
3) Use Online Services
Many online services can help you to find a new home or apartment. Some are free and others have a monthly fee attached.
For example, Zoopla is an online service that provides real estate listings for homes in your area as well as neighborhood information and demographics. A downside to this service is that it does not have information on every property in your area.
4) Use a Computer to Make Moving Easier
Many people still depend on their PC for accessing online services and that is no different for finding and buying a home. You can use search engines like Google, Bing, or Yahoo to locate an ideal house. A great feature is that you can narrow your search by city or favorite neighborhood. This information will assist you when viewing the property in person with the estate agent.
5) Hire a Professional
Hiring a professional to handle the details of your move can be costly, but it will make your life less complicated. Coordinating a cross-country move or international move is difficult to do on your own.
6) Streaming Services on the go
You know all the ways to keep your kids occupied and how long you need to, but the stress of a move is even more challenging for all. Have a look for apps that will let them play games and stream hours of movies and TV shows. This can make the trip pass a little quicker and help stop any temper tantrums – from anyone!
7) Update billing details online
Doing this will make it easier for you to receive your cable, phone, or internet services without having to reach out to a provider when moving. It is great having an electrician give you a quote and then email the details to your new home.
There are many things that you can do to make moving a little bit easier. Some are free and others come with a monthly fee attached.
No matter what you decide to do, one thing is certain, moving home is a challenging experience, but technology has made it much easier than it used to be.
