Fourteen percent of the nation’s population — nearly 40 million people — changed addresses last year, according to the Census Bureau. But as nearly of all them can attest, moving out of a house is one thing and moving into one is something else entirely.
Indeed, if moving out is a process, then moving in is an event. After all, most people take weeks to pack up the house, but they try to cram the actual move into a single day.
Johanna Luther of Family Packers, an Oakland mother-daughter team that specializes in move-in services, calls it “the forgotten aspect of moving from one residence to another.”
Luther charges $45 per person per hour; Thurley, $50 with a five-hour minimum. There’s no prototypical household — “I’ve seen five-bedroom homes that look like Zen monasteries and studios stacked to the ceilings,” Luther said — so there’s no rule of thumb on what the total cost might be.
“Very often, people put all their energies into closure at the old place,†Luther said. “But they forget they’ve got at least an equal amount of work waiting for them at the other end.â€
One way to avoid the strain is to hire someone like Luther. For a fee, they’ll do it all. Well, not all. They don’t handle the actual move. But they’ll make you mover-ready at one end and unpack at the other end.
