Seven Great Apps For Your Move:

We live in a digital world, yet moving is still mostly analog. How much technology does it take to pack, load a truck, drive the truck, unload, and unpack? Not a whole lot, to be frank, but there are several apps that are designed to make your move a lot easier, even if the apps can’t load a truck.

Finding a Place

Before you move, you have to find a place. Newspaper classifieds are long gone, and apps have taken their place. Here are our two favorite.

Realtor.com

If you’re looking to buy, Realtor.com is the gold standard, at least according to my Realtor friends. They have the most updated listings.

Facebook Marketplace

Regardless of how you feel about Facebook, Facebook Marketplace become one of the best places to find a rental or roommate situation. It’s also a great place to find furniture for your new digs.

Getting Rid of Stuff

Letgo

Whether you want to buy or sell, Letgo is one of the best shopping sites out there for used items. You can find, or sell, everything from clothing, to furniture, to cars, to plants.

Nextdoor

Nextdoor.com is a great site for learning all about your new neighborhood, sometimes learning a bit too much about your neighbors, and finding great stuff for your new home.

Packing

Sortly

Perhaps the biggest technological advancements in moving are apps that help with packing. One of our favorites is Sortly, which can help you take any sort of inventory, from work to home. You can barcode and scan every box you pack, helping you figure out where things go, and making sure every box makes it to its destination.

Wunderlist

Make lists, set schedules, and plan your packing day with Wunderlist. Trust me when I say you’ll want to keep Wunderlist to help organize your life in general, even long after the move.

Mapping Out Your New Home

MagicPlan

Every amateur designer should download the MagicPlan app. Scan your room, and add your furniture with your own fingertip. Make sure your furniture fits in your new home before spending money to move it.
