I recently asked my buyers and sellers, "what do you wish someone had told you about moving?" Here's some tips straight from people that have just went through this process:
-
It takes time to get used to a new home.
-
Envision before hand where you want items to go in the new house.
-
Donate as much as you can before you move, especially if your new home is a different style.
-
Focus on 1 room at a time.
-
Organzie boxes into categories, not rooms. You may not want all of your old living room stuff into the new living room.
-
Get the more expensive movers that pack your items for you.
-
Get insurance when using a moving company, just in case they break things.
-
Less is more.
