Customers ask our male staff members all the time if they’re one of the sons. It always makes us laugh because we know the story behind it. The founders of the company, Robert and Vauna, started All My Sons decades ago as a family business that would serve the community for generations. Soon after, they had kids… girls. So, no. There actually aren’t any sons in that sense, but there’s something we feel is actually cooler.

All My Sons Moving & Storage grew very quickly. It was a frenzy of hiring brothers and best friends. While All My Sons has hired new people into the family since then, it has remained a family in every sense and employees are brought into the company become the sons and daughters. So, when customers ask us if we’re one of the sons or one of the daughters, the answer is closer to yes than a family tree would normally allow. More importantly than the family here working to provide quality moves, our family of customers are welcomed in. If you’re one of our customers and nobody has done so for you yet, welcome to the family.

When you use All My Sons, you’re joining a team of dedicated people with a unique, decades long legacy.

Over the past few years, the state of Florida has been a reliable part of the high foreclosure lists when examining foreclosure filings throughout the US. Along with Nevada, Florida has remained a market that has had trouble bouncing back from the housing crisis. In fact, Florida had the nation’s highest foreclosure rate in July for the 10th consecutive month, with one in 469 homes in some stage of the process.

Despite that top position for foreclosures, the amount of foreclosures within Florida is dropping. The same month actually showed 30 percent less foreclosures and marked the 12th straight month for foreclosure filing decreases. Also, many of the foreclosures under process currently are residual from case logs that haven’t been cleared and date back to 2004 through 2008. The county had 363 new cases filed in July, down 3 percent from a year ago, according to the RealtyTrac listing firm.

While the road is still long for Florida’s total recovery, the demand for housing and the influx of people moving to West Palm Beach are still strong factors that help the Palm Beach county market thrive. Nearby cities like Boca Raton and Delray Beach are also high on demand and relatively low on available supply.

Overall, the signs are pointing in the right direction for the recovery of Palm Beach County. If you are thinking of buying a home in West Palm Beach, or another area of Palm Beach County, we think you’ll be pretty satisfied at the life you will have here! In fact, Boca Raton was just voted the best city to live in within the state of Florida.

As the desire to live in big cities throughout the US grows, the cost of renting an apartment has been climbing in a number of midsize cities as well, squeezing residents who are paying a larger percentage of their income to rent. While it isn’t preferred by Raleigh residents, there aren’t many options. A higher price tag is part of the price of living in a great city like Raleigh.

Zillow tracked data over the last few years and charted a starting level in the year 2000 for monthly rents. In the last 14 years, rental prices have grown from consuming 18% of a median household income to now costing renters closer to 16% of their income.

While the prices are growing in Raleigh, the rental cost is still lower in Raleigh than in bigger cities like LA, San Francisco, New York and Miami. Other cities similar to Raleigh’s size that are experiencing prices rise include St. Louis, Nashville, Louisville, and Columbus, Ohio. So for many people seeking city amenities and excitement, moving to Raleigh is an affordable option.

Recently, we discussed the origin of the moving industry in America. While the text is helpful, the New York Times happened to create a very helpful graphic to go along with it.

In looking at the graphic, it’s fun to note the fact that Western states have always had the lowest percentage of native born residents because they were settled later on average among other reasons. More than eighty percent of Wyoming residents in 1900 migrated in and virtually nobody in Idaho today was born in the South.

Enjoy finding fun trends and patterns like we did, but keep something in mind as you do. Everyone on the map that’s not light grey moved from another state or country. In fact, many living in the state they were born in moved out of state and then moved back. Moving is a huge, important investment that many undertake. Some of those who’ve made that investment had a fantastic move and other moves were horrid.

Each of the colors on the map represents a group of people, just like a moving company is only a representation of the leadership and employees. When you move next, think about what you’re trying to accomplish and who is best qualified to help, rather than what company. History and moving are both about people.

The Jacksonville movers of All My Sons don’t mind spending an entire weekend helping you to move into your new home, but you might not be looking forward to spending all of your future weekends taking care of lawn maintenance. Thankfully there are some steps you can take to ease your lawn care burden.

Automate the Process

With an automatic sprinkler system you won’t have to worry as much about over-watering or under-watering your lawn. We recommend investing in high quality sprinkler and drip irrigation systems for the absolute best efficiency. Now you don’t have to fret as much about wasting water and money.

Keep Your Equipment in Good Shape

If your lawn mower and other pieces of lawn care equipment aren’t properly maintained, then it can take you longer to maintain your lawn. Make sure your blades are sharp, check your cords for signs of fraying, inspect the oil levels of your mower, and use a fuel stabilizer if you don’t mow your grass very often.

Cut Your Grass Less

It’s actually better if you let your grass grow rather than cut it every weekend. The reason for this is that your grass will have a deeper root system when allowed to grow out, which can help keep weeds out of your yard. Your grass will be able to carry out photosynthesis more efficiently if allowed to grow, which means that it can look healthier.

For more lawn care maintenance tips, turn to our Jacksonville movers instead of a lawn care company.

The housing market in Denver is getting increasingly competitive, and higher home prices and quicker sales times have resulted in a larger number of landlords cashing out, leaving fewer homes for lease and pushing up rents. The market has been steadily tightening since 2013, so the inventory at this point is drying up significantly.

The amount of people moving to Denver is adding to the exhausted real estate market. An apartment showing can draw 16 people in a few hours. In the push to get ahead of the competition, more renters are submitting applications without seeing a property, despite realtors discouraging them from doing so. The entire process is frustrating, and mostly for people who are trying to move, find a perfect property, and then realize it is no longer available almost as quickly as it is listed.
Exacerbating the tight inventory is metro Denver’s ongoing popularity with young adults from other states. More people are also moving out on their own as the economy improves and unemployment drops.

Recently, there has been plenty of debate on millennials and their real estate habits, which mostly tend to lean towards renting in urban areas. According to a new study by Builder magazine, Birmingham ranks as #2 in the nation for home buyers in the 18-34 age range. The magazine states that the growth for 2012-2013 for new buyers moving to Birmingham and the surrounding metro grew 23.9 percent, putting Birmingham just behind Honolulu.
Millennials are already a major contributor to the Birmingham economy and their presence is becoming more prized as Baby Boomer workers retire. Many of the technology start-ups, the advanced manufacturing and the emerging industries that recruiters prize are targeting millennials for their workforce. In recent years, it seems Birmingham has tried to become a southern metro city with plenty to offer young professionals, competing with the likes of Atlanta and Baton Rouge.
millennials are coming to Birmingham and finding a revitalized downtown, great venues for dining and entertainment and groups like Young Professionals of Birmingham that are creating an attractive energy. It is only natural that they are looking to put down roots and buy homes in the area as well.

From a local realtor to the Salt Lake City movers who eventually drop off your belongings, buying a new home requires the work of many different people and takes many different steps. By knowing what to expect at your home inspection, you can make the entire home buying process less intimidating.

What Exactly is a Home Inspection?

According to the President of the American Society for Home Inspectors, a home inspection is meant to identify major defects in a home before purchasing it. A certified home inspector will examine the structure, foundation, roof, and attic of your home. They will also operate the heating and cooling systems as well as any major appliances such as stoves, washers, and dryers.

Who are Home Inspectors?

Home Inspector credentials may vary, so it is important to make sure the person you hire has plenty of experience and knowledge and will be able to notice important problems if they are there. If you are moving to Salt Lake City, it can help to find someone who has worked with homes in Utah for a long time. Many are engineers who have worked with residential buildings.

Should I Attend My Home Inspection?

It is not required that a seller attend a home inspection. Nevertheless, attending your home inspection is a great idea if you have time. Even if everything is in order, a home inspection is the perfect opportunity to familiarize yourself with your home, noting the location of water shut-off valves, pilot lights, electrical panels, and other important infrastructure.

Moving Van Circa 1900 – By Kathryn Crist via http://www.phillygenweb.org/

It’s a seldom known fact that the moving industry is an American notion. While people have moved long distances since before the dawn of civilization, the historical norm was either self-moving or using general labor servants take care of the move.

With the westward expansion and settlement, goods were transported in covered wagons in tremendous numbers. This all changed in the mid-1800s as the railroad became the dominant form of transportation. With the rail system in place, people could relocate with professionals transporting their furniture cheaper and faster than moving it themselves via wagon, with the added bonus of a far lower mortality rate.

These early movers used barrels rather than boxes and inadequate protection for furniture if anything, much like many self-movers or less reputable companies today. The trip started like moves of the past, with items loaded on wagons. The wagons would deliver to the mover’s warehouse and be stored there till the train was ready to leave.

Military shipments via railway in the conflicts of the 1900s increases costs for rail shipping at the time, and the creation of the interstate highway system made interstate travel by car or truck far more simple and affordable. With those economic factors, the industry’s transition from rail to truck inevitably led us to where we are today.

Moving is now a global industry, but its modern form is truly American. We at All My Sons Moving & Storage as well as the moving industry as a whole are proud to be part of such a proud legacy.

According to a new survey, it seems the people living in Memphis are growing tired of a social media based world. While the data isn’t astronomical, it does show a shift in the way that the people of Memphis engage on social media sites. That trend was consistent when the survey asked the same question about visiting social media sites. Fifty percent say they visit a social media site “more than a few times a day.” But that also is a decrease from the previous year’s survey when 60 percent said they visit social media multiple times a day.

Most social media sites saw overall declines in the survey as well. The big winner was Facebook, which saw a 4 percent point increase in participation in the new survey, growing from 90 percent participation in 2013 to 94 percent in 2014. Photo-sharing site Instagram, which is owned by Facebook, was the other winner, growing from 48 percent participation in 2013 to 55 percent in 2014.
Ironically, despite the drop in social media usage, the amount of people claiming addiction to their smart phones was up, and almost half of the survey respondents rated their level of addiction at a 7 on a scale of 1 to 10.
