For the parts box. Bar soap and a plastic shower curtain with rings.
So smart!!! Thanks for the ideas. Filing this away for future reference.
Currently living in California and planning to move to utah. I work as a nurse and moving my family to Utah is probably worth it. Taxifornia isnt fun.
So funny, I moved from Utah to California! But I agree, the cost of living there is kind of crazy. We left Northern California and moved to the East Coast and haven’t looked back.
@@georgiacoasthomes good for you! Making $120k a year in this state isn't the american dream anymore.😄
@@widescreen1272 Welcome to Utah!! :) Hope your move is smooth. Let me know if there is anything I can do in Utah. Moving to Utah information is my job. :)
I've heard people are leaving California because of the CRAZY taxes but never heard the term "Taxifornia"... makes sense now.
In the future I am planning to move to utah from illinois
In most states you need an appointment for the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). I would go ahead and make the appointment prior to moving so you already have it set up once you get there. So 30-60 days prior to moving look for your appointment. Same with Utilities, Water, Internet and Cable. Also if you need a PO Box if you are in between housing.
wow, I've moved maybe 4-5 times, but never thought of a parts box, that's genius!! Thank you for sharing!!! :)
I know Im asking the wrong place but does anybody know of a method to log back into an Instagram account??
I was dumb forgot the login password. I appreciate any assistance you can offer me.
@Bowen Peyton instablaster :)
@Kai Kyle i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff now.
Seems to take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Awesome idea!
More like a tool box 📦
I moved out of state 17 months ago . Now I am planning to move back. I’m has been somewhat stressful and love the tips!
uh oh... could you share why? About to move myself and the last thing I want is to have to boomerang back
I’m 21 and about to graduate from college and im realizing I can’t keep living here in the north. It’s too cold 8 months of the year and I’m cooped up inside all the time depressed and anxious. Every time I vacation in Florida I’m happier than ever. People are rich snots where I’m from in Minnesota and I just need to move away for at least a year and see where life takes me. I’ve got a few grand put aside and I’m talking to a bar in Clearwater Florida to potentially work at and I’m gonna attempt to find an small apartment to live in. I’ve got a few friends that live near Tampa which leads me to my next point. It’s always good to have connections everywhere you go. Just like my buddy told me- “You never wanna jump into a body of water not knowing how deep it is.” Only the wise will understand this ;)
The Tampa area is one of the most expensive to live in right now.
I’ve got the opposite problem, I hate the humid summers of the south and mild winters. I’m really wanting to up root and move to the west or north
@@drottle Change is always nice but here in Minnesota you are inside a lot with the freezing temps and it’s easy to get bored and depressed. Some people like Snowmobiling and Ice Fishing but all those same activities I’ve been doing since a kid get boring.
Clearwater is a tourist area. St Pete is nice I’d check that out. But most 1 bedrooms in Tampa area are 1700 , unless you want to live an a sketchy area and pay less. Research much as you can
@@primer3458 growing up I raced motor-cross and rode jet skis. I still love two wheels but I’d love seeing a forest covered in snow, snowmobiles are so foreign to me. When it comes to spending lots of time indoors I have schizophrenia, I spend almost all my free time at home. I’d prefer a cozy blanket bundled up in bed to sweating with the AC cranked as low as it goes. It’s really amazing how being raised somewhere is either the place you want to be forever or the exact opposite. I will say the best part of the south is riding down the Natchez Trace during fall, little bite in the air with beautiful colors.
Also things to add to a tub for when you first get there- bath towels, bed sheets, basic toiletries, paper plates, plastic utensils.
Parts Box 📦 (Parts & Tools). Yes, a great idea.
Please use a separate box for your cleaners, and the TP 🧻 and Paper towels 🧻 (apparently there’s no emoji for PT). You don’t want to end up using your dry items while they’re in the box, if the cleaners leak.
Putting cleaners in a big, thick trash bag helps too.
Thanks for that cleaner in trash bag reminder.
Yes !! Have a garage/ yard sale .. that’s what we did and made enough money to help with the move…. Now we are going to live a more minimalist lifestyle near the beach… gotta get outta TX. And head east to Myrtle Beach 🏝
@Addison Clark nothing against TX. really …. But it’s too far from everything that I love … meaning the east coast… I grew up on the Chesapeake Bay and miss the beaches and the seafood …
Does HGTV know about you? You have such a great personality and would be a star there! However, since I'm considering GA, I'm glad you are there! ♥
Oh my goodness, what a great compliment! Thanks so much. Funny enough they did call me once to audition for a show about beach houses but I didn't get chosen. Feel free to put in a good word for me though!
Just found out I’m leaving Texas the first time permanently since 1999. I have so much stufffff. It’s an impulse move too. And to Georgia
No kidding, it seems like your stuff just accumulates over time. Where do we get all this stuff???
@@georgiacoasthomes working in a retail shopping center is dangerous lol
I might be moving from nyc to Texas but I always lived at home and have no furniture . My car is big enough for my clothes and shoes etc.. boy will I save a ton of $$
@Addison Clark hell no I vote red
Oh! man, I love this video. I am new to your channel and wanted to say that I am so happy that I discovered your channel. Keep posting more.
Great info! One thing to know is that movers in some states will not allow any cleaning products or liquids allowed in their trucks. Your Parts Box will have to go with the people moving.
Never moved but thinking I’d buy a 7x14 box trailer to pull with my truck. That would save me $ on storage and moving. Sell a lot of stuff to collect some of my $ back. Pack myself. When I don’t need the trailer no more sell it. So it’s like I moved for damn near free.
You do an excellent job making videos! I love your edits and your little touches. Great job, colleaugue!
Thanks so much!
@@georgiacoasthomes i was thinking about relocating with my family as well. You said you moved more than ounce in your lifetime, do you own a house or rent? I heard before you buy a house to the state your relocating you have to do ground research because it's a long term commitment.
Thank you! I’m moving next year and I’m terrified. The POD is a great idea, because I don’t have a ton of things that are coming with me.
Thank you. Much appreciated.
Very good tips. Thank you
Gonna be moving from California to Texas next month. Tired of living in California and having high taxes and cost of living here.
I put bolts or screws in a Ziplock and tape them to the furniture it belongs too. :)
Great idea!
@@georgiacoasthomes I do have one question that I’m struggling with, I’m applying to jobs in the state I’m moving to, how do I let the employer know I am not there yet therefore can I interview in person??
Awesome tips! Thank you for sharing :)
Useful, Good Tips! Thanks!
Wow, I recognised that river st. Shot immediately tho I’ve not been there in 25 years, thanks for the stroll down memory
I live in Jacksonville. I lived in Savannah before I lived here, 8 years each. I'm moving back to Savannah In December 2020. I was there Halloween 2020, and Savannah's river street museum, omg, Beautiful.......... My new hangout spot. People, move to Savannah.......
great tips, thanks for the video! We're about to move AZ - TN on this December
We have to leave Statesboro and move to Huntsville Alabama. This was quite unexpected and we went right into "scrambling mode." Your video was quite unexpected too, but it made us take a deep breath and face this move with a more tempered approach. Your tips were sage advice. Good job.
BTW we moved to this little town, about an hour west of Savannah, and loved it. We did not want to leave.
Yikes, having to move quickly is stressful. II hope it all works out ok!
planning to moving Hawaii with family. i’m excited
Oh my gosh, that’s my dream right there!!! Which island?
@@georgiacoasthomes kauai
Great video. I'm making the move to Savannah right now and struggling to pick a mover. Thanks for the tips.

Very informative presentation at The Florida Realtors Convention. Thank you!
Wow great video very very informative I appreciate this video so much ty
Good points
This was great thanks Karin :)
Great tips...especially about getting fooled by review link and making sure utilities will be on by arrival time.
Glad it was helpful! Wish I hadn't been the guinea pig in this experiment though.
Excellent video, thank you! One comment I have to make however...it is really hard to believe that anyone would choose something like a moving company (or contractor, plumber, electrician, handyman, etc, etc, etc) based on price alone! Bad idea. Sorry you had to learn the hard way and thanks for sharing with others who might make that mistake.
Most of us watching this are from California 🤣
planning a move to denver soon wish me luck!
Thanks ✅💯
great tips
You have great tips, love the parts box tip the most. The background music was little too loud and distracting from what you were saying. If you didn’t have background music at all when you’re talking would be great. I have a question since you’ve moved so many times. what is the best way to pack your items to be able to move in under 2 hrs?
I just drove through Rincon and I’m not sure what you use for a measurement of a nice community but I think you may want to reconsider. Thank you for wasting my morning
Good tips for moving in general
Thanks! I learned a great lesson from that experience and won’t ever repeat it, that’s for sure.
Those scam moving companies are no joke. Same situation - found a company that came in at half the price of the others. It was based out of Florida. Found an online article about scam moving companies based out of Florida. Texted them I was no longer interested. They kept texting and calling me to find out why. Some of their texts were even kind of rude. I flat out told them to leave me alone.
Thanks babe - this was really helpful. Lots of common sense tips that we forget when we r on overwhelm. Appreciate it…👊🏼😎💙~*
At first I didn’t see your name, just a comment. And I was like, who is this guy calling me babe? 🤣
Do you think moving companies steal your stuff? I've heard stories of people's belongings disappearing after a move.
Gosh, I hope not! That would be terrible. I think I should do a video with a moving company sometime.
It’s all about choosing a reliable company with a background. Reviews are everything but especially the BBB. There are tiers of moving companies. Go with first or second tier. Movers are regulated.
Do all of your research and you should be ok.
I’m moving from tampa Florida to lawrenceville Georgia I’m so excited !
So glad to hear it! Although I went to Tampa after Christmas and I absolutely loved it there.
Outstanding info! Thank you!
Do you have any information about which airlines to trust on transporting animals across six states?
I have done a lot of research but thought I would ask you.
Thanks!
I have seen too many animals die on planes. They are “cargo” and treated as such. I would never consider this option unless it’s a single cat or dog and they are small, can fly in the cabin with a travel companion
United Airlines mose pet friendly
This is so helpful thank you
O wow I moving back to Ga, I from Ga I was actually looking at Savannah
When I move I'm getting rid of my bed and use a matt to save space. This is the year 2020 I think setting up your Computer is more important than setting up a TV. Since it is most people's TV.
I’m moving to south Florida from MD and have been trying to find a place to rent. What would be the best way to secure my new home before actually moving everything down, they’ll want to see job history and although I’ll have work when I come down, how do I show it’ll be consistent without having to work there for a little first
Good question, I’m in the same boat, moved to Georgia from Florida because hurricane flooded my house and moved in with my mother. She sold her home and left for Georgia within a couple months and I wasn’t able to find rental in sons school zone in time to secure a place so I left with my mom. We miss home and my job will take me back, how do you prove that to a new landlord, how do you sign lease and make sure it’s not a scam when your nowhere near there at the moment. If anyone has advice on what I am to do to get back to Florida, I’d greatly appreciate it!!!
Does anybody have good recommendations for interstate movers that worked well for them? These recommendations seem like they're the hardest to find on the internet... I sure can find a lot of complaints though 🤣
@@danskdna8550 hahaha yeah I didn't have much luck with reviews. Luckily I got a friend referral. I'm definitely not opposed to your approach!
Our move went better than expected... except for the guy who boxed our kitchen and used like a pound of tissue paper for every single tupperware lid... I think the worst part was unpacking but hey that's a lot better than some of the nightmare stories I've heard
I. LOVE. THE. WALL. COLOR.
Thanks! It was a bit crazy when I first painted it but it grew on me.
Never move the first of the month. Move the second orthird week in the month. More movers available and trailer's.
Moving outta California before the and of the year and am excited
Good luck! If you come to SC or GA we're here to help.
Did you move yet? I'm also moving to Houston from San Diego. What company are you using?
Do you have any advice on taking down bunk beds we are moving the end of the month the boys are 5 and 4 Do you like bunk beds
any tips on looking for a roomate in savannah?
HI Karin (oh, I just read that you work for Keller Williams Realty... Cool!).That's great that you are in Georgia (well, I hope you are still here in Ga., lol), b/c my mother and I are currently moving from Georgia to Florida. I know you made this video a couple years back, but was wondering If I could ask you a question regarding companies that specialize in moving *&,* *most importantly,* *help with packing things up into boxes and/or moving things onto PODs moving containers, securely, in Ga. Although we have moved a good bit so far, we still have a good bit of stuff that I need help with packing and moving b/c the deadline to be out of the house that we're currently in is by April, 21st and I'm the only one doing everything (in regards to packing & moving our stuff to the pods. My mother [74 years old, bless her hart] Helps as much as she physically can, but I try to tell her not to b/c of her age, health and that fact that she has lower lumbar scoliosis, Witch does not go over well when your mother is, and I mean this with love... A strong woman, but stubborn as all hell, haha). I'm not toooo far away from you (Athens, Ga,... Witch is, I think, about an 1 - 2 hours away from Athens) and I was wondering if you know any moving companies that are efficient, trustworthy, not on drugs (had problems in the past with that) and, less importantly... That wont break my wallet. This question goes out to anyone else reading this. If you have any answers and would share them with me, I would very greatly appreciate it. : )
P.S. Thanks for making this video, Karin! SUBBED!
I'm afraid I don't have a recommendation for a specific moving company. I'd just say to interview a bunch and choose the one that seems to have the best policies, even if it's not the least expensive. Good luck!
This was great but about the actual steps. Like finding home & jobs etc
More of a hassle for me to move.
Can you close on a home from another state? Thanks for the tips. Great advice!
I’m a realtor yes you can. A closing agency in your current location can use a mobile closer.
Yes! No problem
i’m 18 and live in an abusive home and i’ll attempt to get a roommate or live with a partner in a 16 hour distance state. what exactly do i do when i move states? do i need papers? do i need to switch my license, what about my insurance? do i need to transfer anything?
i’m mentally disabled with adhd and autism and i don’t know a single thing about moving states except “get in car and drive” and that’s 100% it
i really need help to escape this abuse
For emergencies to leave an abusive home, Save as much money as you can, whatever you can, only change your address once you figure out where you will be living permanently until then keep your ID. Start an “emergency job” once you get where you’re going, like a waitress, waiter; server, hotel front desk, housekeeping, fast food etc get this job if you have NO money and start using that to finance your move. Then once you’re stable search fir a job you really want, or even go to school. If this is too hard, just scrounge up a couple hundred dollars and pack a bag and start driving. Wherever you settle, sleep in your car and only eat cheap dollar menu meals.. look for a job you can get immediately. Also look into shelters for abused individuals or a roommate service. It’ll all come together. Best of luck to you!
The Department of Human Services in most states offers financial support services (temporary) for individuals fleeing abuse.
Bring your current ID and other information to their office with you. God bless your journey! 🙏🙏🙏
Probably a bit late for it, but you might try dialing 911.
@@bugwar5545 This is horrible advice.
@@SakuraPomeranian ?
OK, I'll bite.
Why is calling for help to get out of an abusive environment "horrible advice"?
Are Sellers required to be at closing?
So without giving approximate prices on moving services we have to assume its too expensive to ask also.
I’m beginning to plan a move from Wyoming to Houston…. Extremely budgeted, just me and my son on our own…. Any tips??? I’ve never move that far so alone and never with a kid AND a puppy before…. I do not know how to mitigate the gap between leaving Wyoming and making sure I’ve secured an lease (also how do I secure a lease for this distance)
Same. I’m gonna apply from some places but for the most part I’m winging it lol
Moving from Los Angeles to Humble Texas next month. What did you do?
“That thing that shall not be named” 🤣
I don't even want to say the C word!
If I have a mortgage loan And can't take it with me, do you know of any options I should be considering so I don't mess up my credit or future home buying?
If you sell the house the mortgage gets paid off so that doesn’t hurt your credit. If you keep the house and rent it out that’s ok too as long as you aren’t skipping mortgage payments.
Our moving company disassembles and reassembles all the furniture. We have our own supply of tools. Customer doesn’t have to pack it. We do it all.
I have a question..If I keep a credit union account in the state Im moving from (I want to get away from their income taxes) does that make me to be still considered a "Resident" of that state even though Im selling my home and moving away?
Not at all. Resident refers to where you reside. You can have a bank account in every state in the country but where you physically live is the one thing that determines your state of residence. The only exception to this is if you are military.
omg I cant believe the moving company story 😭😭
Hi there. Is possible to get the number for the moving company that charge you 1/2 the price? I'm in the prosses of moving out State. Thanks!
Did you ever get that information? I'm moving in November San Diego to Houston
@@soniafreitas3351 Yes I did. Tnanks
@@RicardoLopez-wf2ef do you mind sharing..
I just hope that they have temp agency's and as well permenant agency's so i can move out of state
I'm gonna give away all my furniture to charity and can use it as a write off.
is there a company that you recommend? I think i'm going to go with UPack. Please give me your thoughts on this company if you have any. Moving to Tucson from Atlanta.
I've never tried Upack but they were a serious contender with my last short move.
I'm moving to Georgia from Florida and I'm scared bc I need to get a new school and I'm leaving my bsf
I wish I saw this video before I moved in April. Got fooled by all the great reviews of International Van Lines. Got totally ripped off. The movers showed up in budget rental trucks and wanted 6 thousand more to move me than their estimate, since I paid 25% upfront which was now un refundable. I was screwed. Checked the better business bureau and they had many complaints for the same riff off. The bbb had also had good reviews for this company which I realize now are fake. Company buys reviews and puts them all over the internet.
Oh no! So sorry to hear that happened.
People should really watch this.. like really watch it..
It was the worst moving experience I ever had. Wish I had actually listened to the advice I was given instead of cheating out.
Would you need to get a place first or get a job first when moving to a new state?
I would like to move from NY to TN. We have a fulllll basement and a three bedroom house with far too many things (two children) - do you have any thoughts on how much we should anticipate this costing? We will pack and load the truck.
@Addison Clark Why do you think I’m leaving this god forsaken state? I am not a dem. 😡
Appreciate that! You as well! 🥰 Excited to be closer to more like minded people. ❤️
Most of my family is already there. Hopefully we help keep the state great.
👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you and you as well! ❤️
My wife and I are thinking of doing the same move but from California. Once my wife is finished with school Tennessee will have 2 more republican votes and 3 future republican votes. We have way too much stuff though and thinking of how to make the move.
alright, i got a left fielder for ya... i do a private haunted house every year here in cali, and the bulk of that is, 55 wall panels weighing each, 50 pounds. with inflation the way it is, and junk hauling the way it is - would it be cheaper to haul them from here to texas, possibly requiring another truck, or just rebuild out there? i, and i stress this highly, i CANNOT deprive any neighborhood of my haunt. it's too fun, too many smiling faces. all the gizmos and shit that goes in there take up like 9 bins, that's fine. alright Mrs. Master of Moving, there's my curve ball. ;)
Well, that is definitely an unusual scenario! I'm not a professional mover so I really have no idea how to answer that. But your haunted house sounds fabulous!
when I move I'm hooking a U-Haul box trailer to my truck and coming on.
I will definitely never make the same mistake again, that's for sure.
I am having a terrible time finding a long distance mover from California to East Coast ... all seem like scams and I call 3 different companies and the same person answers ? brokers and not the actual movers. Any suggestions on who to use
I had the same issue. I ended up
going with a U-pack trailer. CA to TX. Crossing my fingers it all goes well as the truck gets picked up tomorrow then heads straight to the new house.
@@amandacueva7289 we are running into the same issue and we’re moving from CA to OH and got a quote with the same company, will you please update? I read reviews but we are so nervous about damage in transit.
Always trust your intuition♥️
Have you contacted PODS ?
@Addison Clark why do you keep posting this on comments? MANY who live in California are extremely conservative. Contrary to what you THINK about California. And perhaps people are moving to conservative states to be around likeminded people and OUT of the blue politics. Comments like this (which I get your train of thought) are not necessary. Go after the politicians who freely open boarders to migrants. Are you making sure they are voting conservatively as well?
O my gosh I hate it you went through that with the movers, o my gosh
It was awful at the time but at least I learned a good lesson!
Idk why I’m watching this I’m 24 and I rent a room haha
The background music is very annoying!
6:15 uuuuhhhaaaaa so funny....uuuhhhaaa your mistake is funny as hell...poor suckr for the moving co.
Sorry, my $5k piano is making the move!
I am glad i dont have anything. If you will i live stoic life. No items.
This is mostly common sense
Wow the last one made me realize I wasted my entire time watching this video and she clearly doesn’t know what she’s doing especially since 101 of moving is you sell things before you move
Move and drive yourself.
It’s a shame this has to be a video
wow i like your video but hate the fact you thinik you need to lie and add sound affects of "the ice from your husband" so obvious. your not married
