#1: Hire a Moving Company

While you may be able to keep your stuff together and your sanity intact for a move across the state, going through an out-of-state move is a totally different ballgame. This is not a time to suck it up and do it yourself. Rather, this situation calls for the kind of planning, organization and expertise you can only get through a professional moving company.

You will find that you will save oodles of time and likely even money because professional movers know exactly what needs to take place and in what order it should happen. When hiring a company, check their references and customer testimonials to ensure they have extensive experience in out-of-state moves. Once you have the right company in place, you will be amazed by how much easier the entire process goes for you.
