Apps for Easier Moving

It may have taken time to find the right house or get your old home sold, but often the actual moving process and settling in are where the real challenges come in. In 2019, when the internet is always within arms reach, there are plenty of apps out there which can keep you organized and help you simplify one of life’s potentially most stressful events.

TaskRabbit

Moving in and out can bring a myriad of odd jobs which you may not have the time, energy, or know-how to tackle. Look no further than TaskRabbit, an online marketplace which matches up pre-approved workers (or TaskRabbits) to those looking to have a job completed (TaskPosters).

If you need extra help with handyman type or smaller tasks (think painting, cleaning, minor repairs, etc.), this is the app you need.

ColorPic

It can be daunting when it comes time to pick out paint colors and commit, which is why paint-previewing apps are aplenty, but out of all the paint-previewing apps out there, ColorPic is the one you need. Not only can you upload images of your own space and then “test” what different colors will look like (an essential feature), you can also see a before and after comparison of the room with the original paint and the newer choice. But the best feature of all? Once you find the color which looks best, there’s an Amazon order button. How much easier could it get?

Nextdoor

Once you get to your new home, it will be a while before you meet all of the new neighbors and know what’s going on in the neighborhood. Never fear- there’s an app for that! Nextdoor helps you stay in the loop with the goings on locally. Think of it as the most useful, less time-sucking portions of Facebook, but just amongst your neighbors. Ask around for babysitter recommendations, organize a community event, or try and figure out whose dog keeps leaving surprises on your lawn.

 

There are numerous smartphone apps to help get you organized for a smooth move, but don’t forget the smartest choice of all and call Beltmann for your relocation needs.
