Timing Your Move with Your Home Purchase

• Book JM Moving Before You Close: Do not wait until after closing to schedule your movers. Nashville’s best moving crews book up fast. Lock in your preferred date as soon as you know your closing date.
• Build in a Buffer: Closing dates sometimes shift at the last minute. Book your movers for 1–2 days after your expected closing date to give yourself a buffer.
• Coordinate Your Current Lease: If you are also ending a lease, align your move-out date carefully to avoid paying double rent or ending up in limbo between properties.
• Use Storage If Needed: If your closing gets delayed, JM Moving offers storage so you are never left without options.
