Tips to Improve Your Move

Consider Your Timing
In the real-estate world they say timing is everything, and that holds true for moving as well. Gas prices tend to rise during the summer, and so do moving rates. June, July and August represent the busiest moving times, and the laws of supply and demand usually apply. Moving at the end of the month versus the middle also can mean higher rates.
