We're moving tomorrow! It's amazing how much stuff you accumulate in even a two bedroom place living there for two years. I can only imagine after we have two dogs, three kids, etc. Yikes!

How do you evaluate a moving company? Perhaps Judy's Book, which Ignition recently funded will provide answers. The devil's advocate in me asks: Why isn't this just an extension for Zagat's?

One incredible disappointing part of the moving process is the whole way that real estate transactions are handled. Lots of paper to be signed and notarized. This is my fifth real estate transaction and I don't understand why the escrow people continue to get things wrong - your zip code, your mailing address, your closing date, etc. etc.

The other amazing thing is that 2 real estate agents earn 3% each on the transaction. That's $30K on a $500K place. The agent I used here, Lacey Clark at Source Real Estate, only charges 1.5%. Seems like the real estate sales market is ripe for some agressive pricing.
