Public libraries can be a great way to find some distractions when you have to move during the holidays. We thought this activity at the Salinas Public Library could be a fun way to entertain your kids. And while you’re there, maybe take a moment to look for a good book for yourself. It might go a long way toward helping everyone reduce their moving anxieties.

Can't help but think this is even more true today!
We happened upon this four year old post: https://www.montereytransfer.com/blog/home-sellers-should-start-taking-action-to-schedule-a-mover, and followed the link to discover the same statistic from the National Association of Realtors; in 2020, it took an average of just 3 weeks to sell/buy a home. And we think everyone moving in or out of a new place, in this market, really should consider their moving needs and consult a professional very early on in the process!

Are you selling your home this season? Last year, it took just three weeks to sell a home. And, movers recommend scheduling your services about a month in advance of your moving day. So, if you're looking to relocate, you should start seeking written moving estimates now.  &nbs
