So, I finally got my own home in Westfield, MA sold, the cooperating agent is totally terrific, the buyers love the house and can't wait to get in…now the only thing left is for me to get OUT!
PODS to the rescue! After researching the moving options in Western Massachusetts I order up the largest storage unit PODS offers and start loading it up. How excellent to not have to hustle everything out the door at once. Things are looking good until I find out that I cannot move to my new residence across Westfield until two weeks after the closing on my home….ahhh the joys of moving!
So, now what? Well…my children and I can go stay with my mother and thank goodness I have a pod and not a truck because I can get the pod moved to my mother's driveway. Off my POD goes and whoever invented this system is totally brilliant, watch them move one if you havent.
I told the cooperating broker that we would be out at 11am the day of the closing…somehow she told the buyers 10am. So, the buyers show up with: four cars, a box truck, a trailer truck AND a POD. All of this while we still have two cars and two trucks and the last minute things to get out and clean. Now this is getting fun!
The road that the house is on is narrow and twisty and is now littered with vehicles large and small with two family's worldly possessions in them. If it wasn't so stressful it would have been really funny.
Well, of course, it was sorted out in the end and thankfully everyone was pleasant through the process. The POD is now sitting in my mom's driveway awaiting yet another move to my new residence. If nothing else, it makes for a great referral for the PODS company!
After sharing this story with co-workers of mine at Park Square Realty, Westfield, MA, many of us will be happy to send referrals to PODS, they sure helped me out!
