Using Home Concierge Agents to Easily Move into Your New Home

They say that moving is one of the top three most stressful things you will do in life. Finding the perfect home to rent is already a difficult task: figuring out which providers actually service your new home just adds to the pressure.

On average most tenants will spend 4-6 hours just researching companies that will service their new address. Then, once you have found your new provider, you have to deal with countless sales agents trying to upsell you, hours on the phone, and the worry that maybe you forgot to set up something important. Moving is so overwhelming! The good news is—setting up your home services doesn’t have to be.

Enter the world of home concierge agents and services! Through their innovative strategies and technologies, they have reduced the dreaded hours of research into a pleasant and seamless process, helping to save you time, money, and stress.

The best part? Your home concierge agent is not working for one of these major service companies: they are working for you! Home concierge agents will offer a non-biased opinion and help customize a plan to meet your home’s needs. No gimmicks, no upselling. Your agent will have everything you need at their fingertips: they can find every business that services your address, make customized recommendations based on your needs, place your order, and schedule service to begin when you are ready. They will even have exclusive access to additional sales and promotions with most major providers!

Deciding on Which Internet Package to Choose

There are so many things to consider when choosing an internet service provider, it can be hard to find a plan that fits your lifestyle. Are you working from home? Do you have any gamers in the family? What if you like to stream your devices at higher speed in every room? Do you have any smart devices in the home? Will you have any cameras? Are you wanting to look into a bundle of TV and Internet? What if your current provider doesn’t service your new home?

One of the coolest things about having a concierge agent help in your move is that they will narrow down exactly which providers service the new home’s address and can see every plan and promotion the service provider is offering. By asking a few questions and getting a feel for your home’s needs they can recommend a plan that fits your lifestyle and your budget!

Your concierge will read all the fine print for you and will allow you to know in full transparency you aren’t getting sold into a service you truly don’t need. They can also help warn you about surprise pricing increases after a contract ends (or help you avoid contracts altogether)! Even if together you find that you are already using the company that is going to be the best fit: a home concierge agent is able to shop the provider to make sure you are getting the very best deal. 

Selecting Home Protection That Won’t Break the Budget

More and more renters across the nation are looking into ways that they can add protection for their homes and their loved ones. While door sensors and motion detectors are awesome, modern home security offers so much more than just the basics! Nowadays you can link smart thermostats to regulate your temperature from anywhere and set up your own personal preferences for the day! Doorbell cameras come with “smart deter” to let any lurkers know that they are being recorded and also send a video in real time to your app so you can see and speak to them remotely.

There are even Smoke and Carbon Monoxide detectors that can alert emergency services that there is a problem in the home, send you a notification, AND tell your smart thermostat to stop circulating air to prevent the fire from spreading. You can even register your pets as family members so emergency services know to look for them and make sure they get out safe! Best of all, you get to own your equipment! If you move in the future, your system will come with you. 

Locating Utility Providers

Setting up utilities can be a huge hassle. It can take hours to find who will service the address and each provider has different requirements. For some, it is as easy as filling out a document online, for others you need to go in person to register the gas or water at your new home.

A move-in concierge service saves you time by using their own research departments to accurately search and vet the local utility providers you need to contact to set up your new home. You will be provided with a list of every utility provider that services your address as well as their requirements for service. You will also receive a list of all phone numbers, addresses, and websites needed for service, helping take the stress out of the search! It’s that easy!

Conclusion

Convenience is an absolute luxury when moving to a new home. Gone are the days of stressing that something slipped through the cracks when it comes to setting up home services: home concierge agents are here to help! Having an unbiased friend to help get everything you need set up in a timely and professional manner is everything.
