Smart Things to Do Before You Move

Signing the bottom line of the paperwork to your new home can be one of the most exciting moments in your life, but then the reality of packing up and moving settles in. While this process can seem like a stressful one, the last thing you should do is panic. Below, we’ve put together a list of expert tips that will ease your mind and make your move more seamless:

1. Give yourself time. Be smart when it comes to packing and don’t rush the process. Instead of procrastinating, write yourself a daily list of tasks to accomplish, and do this little by little, one day at a time. The more pressed for time you are, the more stressful your move can become.

2. Skip cardboard boxes. Believe it or not, cardboard boxes can be more pricy than sturdy boxes with attachable lids. Not to mention, cardboard is worse for the environment. With that being said, switch to a more eco-friendly option before rounding up your items.

3. Don’t pack your clothes. That’s right! If you hire professional movers, you’ll just be wasting your time. Why? Because movers will take your clothing from their hangers and transfer them to your new closet without you having to lift a finger!

4. Take the basics first. If you live within a short driving distance to your new home, take some basic necessities with you before the moving truck arrives to deliver everything else. This includes your toiletries, pajamas, and two days worth of clothes. Packing up a few basic items will help you feel a little more comfortable amongst the chaos of organizing boxes.

5. Look for the local spots. Familiarize yourself with your new neighborhood by walking or driving around the area. This is an ideal way to get introduced to resources, such as handymen, neighbors, and even babysitters if you have little ones at home.
