Moving takes work, and it can be stressful sometimes. How prepared you are before you move can directly affect the number of stressors you encounter as you move. There are a number of arrangements you have to make and things you have to do before you move. Unfortunately, many people neglect to make those necessary arrangements and do those necessary things in a timely fashion. As a result, their moves are exceptionally challenging, when they don’t have to be. If you want to make things easier on yourself, here’s what you should do before you start packing things up into the moving truck:

Establish a budget for your move – Moving can be quite expensive. You might pay people to help you move your personal items, and you might pay for a self-storage unit if you don’t want to move everything with you. Additionally, if you’re trying to sell your home you’ll probably have to pay a realtor. Plus, you might have to pay for a moving truck and a hand truck. You get the idea. Costs add up. So, establish a budget and stick to it. Get quotes from different moving companies and storage facilities, and try to get the best deals possible. There’s nothing worse than arriving to your new home with an empty bank account.

Make arrangements early – Call the elementary school principal a few months in advance and register your child for classes at the new school that’s zoned for your new home. Call and reserve a moving truck for yourself a couple of weeks before you move. Making arrangements early will help you avoid having to deal with the stress of having to do everything at the last minute. It’s helpful to make a list of all the arrangements you’ll need to make, to help you make sure that you don’t forget to make any of them.

Spread out the physical work – Start packing up and cleaning your home a month or so before you move. Just spend a half hour every day getting rid of stuff and packing. The week before you move, spend an hour or so each day cleaning and packing what’s left. Spreading out the work over time will help you avoid exhaustion and the stress related to trying to pack, clear out, and clean everything the day before you’re scheduled to move.

Establishing a budget, making arrangements, and packing are three essential parts of almost everyone’s moving process. So, do what you can to stick to your budget and avoid procrastinating when it comes to things like packing and making arrangements. You have the power to make moving easier for yourself with proper preparation!

Note: Active-Cont Remove means the property has a contract but the contract is contingent on something, usually the buyer has to sell a property, so they can be knocked out of first position. Some agents are also using this status to denote a short sale offer has been submitted to the lender. I will be able to help with this info and the best way to make a short sale offer.
