Hiring movers may be the best way to quickly get into a new place. Here are several things you can do to get the most from their services.

Get Rid of Big Items You Don't Need 

If you have any oversized items you don't plan to take to the new place, get rid of them before the movers come out. Not only can this save you money, but it can also speed up the move. Your movers won't have to take time out of their busy schedules to figure out a place to put these possessions.

You can throw these items away or give them to charity if they're still in good condition. Go through the entire house until you've eliminated big things that would only complicate the move.

Find a Company That Offers Cleaning Services Too

Something you'll need to do after you move items out of the old place is clean the house. If you don't and you were renting the place, you could receive a fine. So that you're not worried about the time and energy it will take to clean the old place during a move, find a moving company that offers cleaning services. 

Professional movers will responsibly clean up each space after loading all items into their moving truck. If you have a landlord with cleaning requirements, the movers can customize their cleaning services to help you avoid costly penalties. You just need to send them the cleaning protocols that your landlord has in place for all tenants who move out.  

Keep Them Fueled

One of the best ways to ensure your movers work efficiently the entire time is to keep them fueled. They will perform many physically demanding tasks, so it's wise to provide them with plenty of food and drinks throughout the move. 

They'll appreciate such a kind act, so much so that they may work even faster to provide great value. You don't have to buy them a gourmet meal either. Simple snacks and beverages should suffice to ensure the movers work promptly without taking as many breaks between different moving tasks. 

Moving companies can do many things for their clients, such as lift heavy objects and secure fragile items in protective packaging. If you plan to hire your own, know how to steer your relationship with them down the right path. However involved and lengthy, your move can work out just fine.
