Tips To Ease The Stress Of Moving

Moving can be a stressful experience, especially for homeowners who are preparing to move.  There are several things that you can do to make the process as smooth as possible.

• Pack and organize your belongings even if it’s a few weeks to months away.
• Sort through your items.  Decide what you want to keep and what you want to get rid of.  Donate / remove what you no longer want.  Why bring it to the new place?
• Pack items you don’t use on a day-to-day first.
• Don’t forget attics, crawl spaces, and outdoor storage.
• Hire a moving company to handle the heavy lifting
• Hire a professional organizer to help you declutter and organize your belongings. 
• Purchase packing supplies like boxes, packing paper, and heavy duty tape.
• Cancel old address utilities / setup new address utilities.
• Setup mail forwarding for the new date.

Good luck with your move!
