Working with a Realtor: What to Expect When Moving

When I bought my home in Kamloops, I worked with a wonderful realtor who helped me through the entire process. What I didn’t realize at first was how the realtor and moving company work together to make your transition smooth.

A good realtor does more than just show you houses. They help you understand the market, negotiate the best price, and guide you through all the paperwork. But once you’ve closed on your home, their job transitions to helping you prepare for the move.

My realtor recommended Kabina Moving because they’ve worked together before. The moving company understands the timeline – they know when closing dates are, and they can coordinate with your schedule. This makes everything much less stressful.

Here’s what I learned about the process:

  • Your realtor will help you understand when you can take possession
  • They’ll coordinate with the moving company if needed
  • They can recommend reliable movers they’ve worked with
  • They understand the stress you’re going through

When it came time to move, Kabina Moving was professional and careful with all my belongings. They understood that this wasn’t just a move – it was the start of a new chapter in my life.

If you’re working with a realtor to buy or sell a home, ask them about moving companies they trust. It makes the whole process much smoother.

Top 10 Moving Tips From Kabina Moving Ltd.

  1. Start Early
  1. Declutter First

Donate, sell, or toss items you don’t need. Less clutter means less time — and lower moving costs.

  1. Pack Smart

Use strong boxes, tape the bottoms well, and fill gaps with paper or towels. Heavy items (like books) go in small boxes, light items in big ones.

  1. Label Everything

Mark each box with the room name (Kitchen, Bedroom, etc.) and a quick note of what’s inside. Use color stickers or a numbering system if possible.

  1. Keep Essentials Separate

Pack an “Essentials Box” for your first night — phone chargers, toiletries, towels, bedding, snacks, etc. Keep it in your car or with you.

  1. Disassemble in Advance

If you can, take apart beds, tables, and shelving the day before the move. Put screws in a labeled bag and tape it to the furniture. This means less time for us, and less cost for you.

  1. Clear Pathways

Make sure driveways, hallways, and stairs are clear of clutter so movers can work safely and efficiently.

  1. Prepare Appliances

Empty and defrost fridges/freezers 24 hours before moving. Disconnect and drain washers, dryers, or water lines.

  1. Keep Valuables with You

Carry jewelry, cash, passports, and important papers yourself — not in the moving truck.

  1. Confirm Details

Double-check your address, access codes, parking, and elevator. bookings before move day. Let your movers know of any tight spots or fragile items.
