- (1888PressRelease) August 06, 2010 - For Foreigners in Shanghai, summer is the best time to move - the kids are out of school and a lot of foreigners just came here for the Expo. To help these foreigners that move at this point, Maxviewrealty.com, a leading online house rental agency, today released a helpful summer moving timeline with useful advices on how home buyers, sellers and renters can quickly get organized and easily prepared for a seamless transition to their next home.
"Moving can be a very stressful and chaotic experience for a lot of people, especially for foreigners" said Alex Griffiths, Marketing manager at Maxview Realty. "We understand the ins and outs of how to plan for moving day. And we hope to make the process of moving as stress-free as possible for foreigners who are not so familiar with Shanghai and the moving process."
Below are advice for homebuyers, sellers, and renters planning a move this summer.
4 weeks from move date: Get organized and start notifying the right people and companies that you'll be moving soon and give them a date to forward or terminate service. Start looking for licensed and professional moving companies, moving guides and relevant coupons. There are many famous moving companies in Shanghai, like Dazhong, but please be careful when you are trying to search their contact information on internet by yourself. Many small moving companies use the same or similar name with Dazhong, but their service can't be ensured.
3 weeks from move date: Once you've selected a mover, begin by taking inventory of your belongings and their worth and decide what will be coming with you to your next home. You'd better divide things into categories: "pack," "recycle" and "give to friend."
2 weeks from move date: If you choose not to take advantage of full service mover packing services, or are planning to do it yourself and rent a truck, start packing things into boxes. Figure out the logistics of the move, travel plans and if other specialized plans need to be made. If you are moving long distance, remember travel arrangements for your pets. Most of the moving companies don't allow taking pets, so you should think about other ways, such as taking them by your own car.
1 week from move date: Set aside valuable items and keep those with you. Clean before moving and leave your house or apartment as clean as it was when you moved in. Place necessities such as toiletries, toilet paper, rags, "must-have" cooking supplies and organize them in boxes marked "open first" so it's easy to find the initial items you'll want handy on those first few days of being in your next home. Make sure the details for paying the moving company are taken care of. They will charge according to the distance and service range; know their policy in advance to avoid stress on moving day.
Moving day and beyond: Take one last walk through and make sure nothing has been forgotten or overlooked. Also, make sure all doors and windows are locked and switches turned off, then you are on your way to your new house or apartment. If possible, ask for a local representative to accompany you and your families just in case. Don't forget to make a bed as early in the day as possible if you'll be sleeping in your home that evening! Remember, you don't have to unpack everything in one day, or even in one week.
