Planning to move? Included below are six suggestions that are guaranteed to make your transition smoother and less stressful.
- Start sorting and packing about two months before your planned move date. Use colored stickers to mark what will be moved, donated or thrown away.
- If you have pets, ask your veterinarian, selected moving company, and your airline (if you’ll be flying) to provide you with information, tips, and any regulations related to getting your pet from point A to point B.
- Give friends and family that have been using your house as a storage facility a firm deadline for collecting their belongings. If they don’t respond in a timely manner, put their possessions in a real storage facility and forward the bills.
- Take careful measurements of your new bedrooms and living spaces, then use space-planning tools – such as Roomstyler 3D Home Planner, SmartDraw, or paper and pen – to determine where major furnishings will best fit.
- Don’t use an open-bed pickup truck to transport your belongings. It’s difficult to properly secure the load, plus wind and weather can easily cause damage.
- Allow at least one full day after everything is removed to properly clean your current home.
