Common Moving Questions Your Clients Ask
Below are some of the most common questions homeowners have when preparing for a move, along with guidance you can confidently share.
What Should Homeowners Pack Themselves?
The best approach is a balance.
Items clients should always pack themselves:
- Jewelry and high-value personal items
- Important documents, including tax records and legal paperwork
- Medications, medical devices, and daily essentials
- Phones, chargers, tablets, and personal electronics
How to reduce costs without increasing risk: Clients can pack non-breakable items themselves while leaving fragile items to professional movers. This approach allows them to benefit from professional packing quality where it matters most, while still managing costs.
Pro tip for moving day: Clients should prepare a small set of clearly labeled priority boxes containing bedding, clothing, toiletries, and essentials for the first night. These boxes should be marked clearly and, when possible, transported personally.
How Far in Advance Should a Move Be Scheduled?
The earlier, the better.
- Moves cannot be planned successfully the day before closing
- Packing often requires an additional day prior to move day
- Spring and summer schedules fill quickly
If closing dates do not align, Exodus can hold belongings safely without repeated loading and unloading. This reduces damage risk, minimizes stress, and creates flexibility during complex transactions.
How Can Storage Help During the Buying or Selling Process?
Secure, flexible storage can simplify the process significantly.
Common ways clients use storage containers include:
- Decluttering the home before listing
- Staging rooms without permanently removing items from the property
- Storing belongings during timing gaps between closings
Clients may pack containers themselves or request professional loading. Furniture pads and protective materials are provided to safeguard items during storage.
Items clients should avoid placing in storage:
- Liquids and aerosols
- Chemicals or household cleaners
- Flammable or corrosive materials
By reducing repeated loading and unloading, storage containers protect belongings while simplifying logistics during the transaction.
How Can Clients Avoid Moving Scams and Unreliable Movers?
Hiring the wrong moving company can create serious financial and logistical problems. Educating clients on warning signs helps protect both the homeowner and the transaction.
Common red flags clients should watch for include:
- Large upfront deposits, especially for interstate moves
- No physical business address or use of only a PO box
- Promises that sound unrealistic or too good to be true
- High-pressure sales tactics or urgency-driven pricing
For interstate moves, requesting a large deposit is illegal. For local moves, deposits should be minimal and transferable if closing dates change.
Clients should be encouraged to verify moving companies through the Better Business Bureau, online reviews, and recommendations from trusted real estate professionals.
