As the Birmingham movers know, college enrollment at many universities is something than continues to give strength to flailing real estate markets. College students are coming to Alabama in droves, and they need places to live!

According to a study by a Birmingham real estate firm, apartment occupancy rates in Tuscaloosa are at 93.4 percent for private apartments, and 96.5 for suite-style apartments that lease by individual bedrooms. The latter is quite common among students because it is a seamless transition for dorm-style living.

Thanks to a tour of homes scheduled at the beginning of December, the Birmingham movers and residents alike will be able to see local homes outfitted in all of their true holiday glory.

On December 3 & 4, the 2011 Lakewood Estates Holiday Tour of Homes in Bessemer will be underway. Admission is $10 and the homes are absolutely breathtaking. Expect plenty of Christmas trees, holiday treats, and welcoming warmth from home to home.

To add to the holiday mood? Look (or listen) for the Magic City Choral Society, who will be caroling throughout the neighborhood.

Other home tours include the Roebuck Springs Holiday Home Tour, the Spring Creek Cumberland Presbyterian Women Christmas Open House Tour in Montevallo, and the Legacy League Christmas Home Tour, among others. See the full agenda here.

This week, Birmingham is getting a slice of two popular companies offering bus services throughout the country–Greyhound Express and Megabus.com have trips booked to the Alabama city.

The best part? Fares for the buses (which are equipped with WiFi, power outlets to charge electronics, and spacious legroom) offer seats as cheap as $1! The Birmingham movers are excited to have additional transportation options weave in and out of our city.

The buses will coordinate connecting trips between cities like Atlanta, Mobile, Montgomery and Memphis.

Alabama officials have created a $100,000 grip truck in hopes of luring Hollywood production teams to the Yellowhammer state. At almost 50 feet in length, it’s outfitted with film making essentials and was created to announce the opening of Los Angeles production company Entertainment Partners’ local Alabama office.

Alabama is competing with nearby Southern states Georgia and Louisiana for filming opportunities. Even local school systems are integrating introductory film classes to help train residents for future career opportunities in film and production.

The Birmingham movers are excited to welcome growth and opportunity to Alabama, and hope to see film projects in Birmingham in the near future. If you’re a film buff looking for a place to live in the South, don’t overlook Alabama as a potential upcoming hard hitter in the movie industry.

I’ve heard of people getting stuck out by family and friends when it comes time to for their Birmingham move. The only problem is the person moving has already rented the truck, and now have no one to assist with their move.

They will generally send their movers to you to load your valuables and then meet you at the unloading site and unload. This service is not done by all Birmingham movers, so you’ll have to check around. Don’t be overwhelmed by a last minute help cancellation, contact a local Birmingham moving company and get moving!

You need to move. This doesn’t happen very often for you, but it’s happening now, you’re moving locally in Birmingham, and you need professional Birmingham movers with a good reputation. You also need to save money on your local Birmingham move. Let me tell you how you do this. You need to hire Birmingham movers who will come to your home (ON TIME!) and get right to work. You need professional movers who have have a routine for everything moving, and who will do nothing but hustle when they’re on YOUR time. You need Birmingham movers who only send you only full-time professional employees. Let’s face it, when you’re paying by the hour, you save money by hiring a crew who will finish the job quickly. Don’t hire movers just for a low hourly rate. Don’t hire cheap Birmingham movers who will send you day laborers or temps, this is not the time for short cuts. It goes without saying, you get what you pay for, and it just so happens that when you pay a little more per hour (for a PROFESSIONAL mover) you pay for less hours than you would going with a cheap Birmingham mover.

What kind of men do your newly hired Birmingham movers have working for them? Are you unknowingly allowing ex-cons, day laborers, or junkies into your home? As crazy as it sounds, there are Birmingham movers who hire unprofessional workers to do moves in your home. Men that may not have the type of experience you’re looking for, let alone the type of background you’d be comfortable considering. To save money, any less-than-successful Birmingham mover can hire desperate, inexperienced labor for your move. In turn these type of moving companies can charge less per hour than the professionals, and can end up bating people to hire movers that will likely cause serious problems for you, the customer. Do your research!! Ask proper probing questions about your Birmingham mover’s employees and background. You may just save yourself and your family from a sure-fire moving disaster. You definitely don’t want anything to go wrong during your Birmingham move. Only go with the best!
