What else decides the cost of your move? 

Based on the moving estimate above, it’s clear that the size of your home/weight of your household goods can affect the cost of your move. So, before you relocate to Miami, it’s the perfect time for you to declutter and get rid of things you never use. Whether you donate things to charity, gift to family and friends or just leave some things in the dumpster, having less weight can save you money. 

The details of your move

In addition to weight, the specific details of your move are important. For instance, are you looking for a full service move that includes everything from packing and unpacking to a company that will mop and clean your old place for you? If so, you should definitely expect this to cost more than a basic move where a company just does the heavy lifting before driving your belongings cross county to Miami. 

Specific items you need moved 

If you’re looking to hire a moving company to help you move a specialty item (pool table, hot tub, fine art, etc.) you should expect to pay more than usual. Also, remember to do your part to make the entire move as easy as possible for the moving company that you hire. This includes everything from reserving the service elevator in your condo to providing them with bottles of water as a kind gesture as they conduct your move. 

Benefits of Moving to Miami 

There are many reasons why you should move to Miami. We’ve outlined the top 3 for you from our perspective. 

• Weather: While you may love summers in Greensboro, there’s nothing quite like having beautiful sunny days year round in Miami. Whether you’re hanging at the beach with friends or just relaxing in your backyard with family for a BBQ, you’ll love having the option to enjoy the great outdoors while the rest of the country is dealing with freezing temperatures and snow. 
• Entertainment: When you move to Miami, you won’t ever have to worry about being bored unless you truly want some downtime. If you’re a sports fans, the Miami Heat, Miami Dolphins, Miami Marlins and Florida Panthers are just some of the professional sports teams here that will keep you entertained. A hub for world famous musicians, you can also look forward to catching some of your favorite artists live in concert here. No matter what part of the city you live in, a festival, book fair or community event won’t be hard to find.

Known as a favorite place for anyone looking to be immersed in Latin culture, Miami has much more to offer. With swarms of people from all over the world, you can fit in here no matter where you’re from or what you believe in.
