Move-ins matter: Zachary’s story
A great move-in experience sets the tone for a successful new chapter, so getting it right is crucial. At Updater, we’ve been building moving technology for over a decade, streamlining the process so that move-in day feels less like a hassle and more like a fresh start.
Our renter Zachary recently shared his experience using the app during a move from Dallas-Fort Worth to Austin, TX, and it’s clear: move-ins matter, and Updater delivers.
“Updater is a one-stop shop for all of your moving needs,” Zachary says, adding that with Updater, moving isn’t just about packing and unpacking — it’s about creating a smooth transition at every step.
“I utilized the internet services and the utilities services that Updater provides, with helping get those things set up and ready to go the day you move in,” he shared. “A lot of the other services I ended up not needing to utilize, but the fact that you can get all of your moving supplies, or you can rent a U-haul or truck straight from the Updater site, is all super cool.”
This flexibility ensures that whether you’re handling a DIY move or working with professionals, Updater has tools to make it easy.
The importance of a stress-free move-in is significant — data from Updater’s Move-In Effect report reveals that the quality of the move-in experience significantly impacts resident satisfaction, retention, and loyalty. A seamless move-in process can boost positive online reviews by 71%, which directly influences a property’s reputation and marketability.
In fact, move-ins are so important that 85% of property managers reported that a smooth move-in experience increases the likelihood of lease renewal.
“Ultimately, Updater relieved a lot of our stresses, and moving really went super well,” he says. “I highly recommend checking out Updater and being able to use that system for your next move.”
It’s what we do best — making every move-in feel effortless.
