Get organized
Moving can be one of the most stressful
experiences in life. Getting yourself
and your family organized will take the
stress out of the day and allow you to
focus on the fun stuff - like the fact
that you're moving into a great new
home!
Here are a few quick pointers for an
easier move:
- Create a
timetable and checklist. You'll feel
a comforting sense of accomplishment as items are
checked off.
- Give everyone in the family
their own responsibilities,
including your kids. It's a great
way to make sure everyone feels
involved.
- If you can afford to, use a
moving service. Having professionals
do the work for you is a huge way to
simplify a move. Plus, if anything
is lost or damaged, their insurance
should cover it.
- Use your agent as a resource. He
or she is full of great suggestions
for moving companies, cleaning
services, decorators and more.
- Give yourself a "time cushion."
If possible, don't move in the same
day the previous owners are moving
out. If you have some extra time,
you can also go into the empty house
and clean or paint.
