If you are still looking for a home to buy or rent, download the free Zillow app for your iPhone or Android device. Zillow allows you to search for property and rental listings by your current location, address, voice search, or by selecting a custom area on the map. You can also filter your search by options such as property type, price, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, and more. If you have children, you can even narrow your search by proximity to schools with top ratings.

Another option available to help Android users find the perfect moving company is MoveMatch. You can find moving or self-storage companies by area and then request a price quote. An added feature of this app is the ability to take a survey of your belongings, room by room, and get an estimate on their weight and volume, making it easier to get a more accurate price quote. The app is available for free from Google Play.
This handy app, an alternative to the basic moving checklist app, allows you to create and print your own barcode labels to better catalogue your belongings. Wondering what is in a particular box?
