5. Put Everything in Writing

This one may seem pretty obvious, but it’s still important to reiterate. Every single condition and term you’re disagreeing with or agreeing to should be put in writing. Sometimes during contract negotiations, certain terms are promised to move the deal forward.

However, you may end up entering into the contract with only verbal assurance from the moving business regarding the additional terms. If the other party doesn’t deliver on those agreed-upon terms, you’ll have trouble demonstrating you are owed more than you agreed to when signing the contract.

If you see any sign of resistance when asking that verbal terms be put in the contract, that should warn you to proceed cautiously.
