La Jolla communities is bustling with Real Estate activity. Every day, homes are being bought and sold. As your Realtors, we take pride in helping with every detail, whenever possible. Over the years, we have helped thousands of satisfied clients find the La Jolla home of their dreams. Once we have assisted you in finding the perfect La Jolla home, you must begin the process of finding a reputable mover who will do the job right! Here are some tips to help with that process
· Don't Move belongings that you don't want
The most important advice to save money on your La Jolla move is "don't move stuff you don't need! " For a long move, it will cost at least 80¢ per pound to move something. The more belongings you have, the more it costs even with local moves, as you are paying by the hour. Why pay to move items that you really don't need. This is a wonderful opportunity to hold a garage sale, or donate belongings to your favorite charity. Your contribution may be tax deductible and you will save money on your move. · Hire the correct number of movers based on the size of your home
For larger moves, hiring more movers will actually save you money. Depending on your specific situation, Discount Movers will let you know the most cost effective solution to meet your specific needs. (Two men and a truck, three men and a truck or four men and a truck, or multiple trucks for larger moves.) · Choose the correct boxes
Moves will last longer when people have not packed their items in the correct boxes. The reason being is if the items in the boxes are too heavy professional movers will advise you against moving them in order to protect your valuables. Therefore, time will be spent repacking in smaller boxes. The other risk is the boxes will be moved and they will break because they are too heavy. Follow our box moving guidelines and you will not have any problems. · Be completely packed when the movers arrive
If movers have to wait for you to finish putting items in boxes, it will take longer then if all the time spent is moving your already packed boxes. If you are completely packed when the movers arrive, there will be no delays. Since you are paying by the hour, this will substantially cut the amount of time required for the move. · Label all your boxes in big BOLD print and this will save you money On each box, take a big black pen and write the name of the room that you want the box to go in, and label what is inside the box. i.e. Master bedroom, Sheets. This saves the movers time in knowing where you want the boxes to be moved to. They will not need to ask you for each box, which consumes a lot of time. Also it will save you time knowing what is inside the box. Also, if something has fragile items in it, place fragile on the box. If they need to ask you for all the boxes, extra time will be used. http://www.lajollacommunities.com/00169E Posted on November 06, 2008 20:21:15 by Marti Gellens

Top five ways to Save money on your La Jolla Move

Not all La Jolla Buyers are couples
According to census results from the New York Times, for the first time in history, more than half of women in the US are living without a spouse. Quite a change from a time when women ran the household and men were the breadwinners. As of 2005, 51 percent of women polled stated they were living without a significant other, up from 35 percent in 1950 and 49 percent in 2000. To think - married couples in the U.S are considered a minority for the first time! This trend could break a new mold in social and workplace policies, possibly the ways government and employers mandate benefits. There are a few factors that are driving the statistical shift. Women are marrying later in life or living with partners more often for longer time periods.
This has also affected the buying demographic out there. Women are becoming more and more financially independent. And coupled with the fact that statistically women are considered better budgeters, we are seeing a growing trend of women buying homes not only alone, but earlier in life.
