Moving from one home to another is quite often a logistical nightmare. It rarely fits into an easy-to-plan timeline. This is particularly true if you are selling one home and buying another. You can’t wait to get your belongings packed up because your buyer expects possession on closing day. But, you can’t take your things to the new home yet because you can’t close on buying it until you have the funds from selling your current home. While closing agents are experts at doing same-day closings, you will still often have at least a few days in between where your belongings are in limbo.
One of the ways to overcome this dilemma is to use a residential moving company that can handle short-term storage for you. If the time period is short, they’ll leave your items on the same truck they pick it up in. If you need more time, they’ll carefully unload and store your things, and then reload to deliver them to your new home.
Another situation when this type of residential moving service is helpful is when you won’t be buying a home in the new area right away. If you plan to rent for a couple of months until you have time to learn the area and you don’t need all your household goods right away, you can easily sort what you do need and have them store the rest until you are ready. Many residential moving companies offer long-term storage for those going into the military, as well.
