How do I move quickly?

There are many reasons why you may need to move quickly (divorce, job loss or last-minute transfer, serious damage to your home...). Professional movers like Les Gentlemen du Déménagement can help you with this task, which can be tedious and time-consuming at a time when you have neither the energy nor the time to pack your own moving boxes.
Here's some useful information to help you organize your move quickly and efficiently.

 

Before you move, find your new home quickly

 

Finding a new home is often the first problem that arises. If you are moving for professional reasons, in most cases you can benefit from the "Mobilipass".

Le Mobilipass qu’est ce que c’est ? C’est justement un dispositif qui vous permet de profiter d’une assistance pour trouver un logement sur votre lieu d’arrivée. Quand vous êtes mutés à plusieurs centaines de kilomètres de votre domicile actuel, il est très fastidieux de planifier et d’organiser des visites de logement. C’est d’autant plus délicat dans une ville que l’on ne connait pas et sur la simple base d’annonces immobilières qui ne sont pas toujours fidèles à la réalité. La distance fait que l’on ne peut pas multiplier les aller-retours. C’est là que les sociétés de relocation, telles que OPEM Relocation, peuvent vous aider en vous apportant un conseil éclairé et qualifié dans la recherche de votre futur logement. Grâce à un réseau national, OPEM Relocation organisera cette recherche.

Ce service est, sous condition, pris en charge par l’organisme collecteur et ne vous coûtera donc rien. C’est la 1ère étape clé pour préparer sereinement et rapidement votre futur déménagement.

 

Find a mover quickly

 

Moving is a highly seasonal activity. In fact, many families wait for the summer vacations to move and avoid having to move their children in the middle of the school year. From June to September, it will be more difficult to find a serious mover with availability. If you are flexible about departure and arrival dates, it will be easier to find a slot and organize your move by coordinating it with another in the same region.

Many movers work with mobile containers, which they can store and then share with another mover a few days later. If the mover belongs to a network such as Les Gentlemen du Déménagement, he'll also find it easier to find a solution via a common computer system that enables everyone's routes to be shared to avoid empty returns.

In the low season (October to May), finding a mover at short notice is generally not a problem, except for the last week of December, which is very busy with the festive season and also sees a peak in removals due to the taxe d'habitation.

 

Let the mover do the packing

 

To save time during your move, entrust the packing of your belongings and the creation of your boxes to movers. Professional movers, such as those in the Gentlemen du Déménagement network, offer their customers several moving packages. They can simply load the truck, transport your belongings to your new home, and unload your personal effects, or they can take care of your entire move:

The trick to moving quickly is to get organized and surround yourself with the right people. With a well-sized team and the right equipment, our movers can do in a day what might take several weeks. With these complete moving packages, you don't have to prepare a thing, so you can vacate your home more quickly, in just a few days.
