Before You Move...

It's important to do a little prep work! Preparing for your move well in advance will make your actual moving day a cake walk. One important step in preparing to relocate is thoroughly researching the area and planning ahead. Do the following to prepare your move:

Sell What You Don't Want

Go through all of your belongings and mark it one of three ways: keep, donate, sell. Host a yard sale or create an eBay account to get rid of things you don't need (and make some extra money!) Donate anything that can't be sold.

Pack One Room at a Time

Begin with extra rooms like studies or play rooms. Carefully pack everything in boxes and created and be sure to label boxes with the corresponding room. The more in advance you begin this process, the easier moving will be!

Label Everything

Print out labels or color-code every single box you pack to make sure nothing gets lost or misplaced during the move. This will also make the unpacking process much easier!

You're ready to hit the road! Follow these tips for a less stressful moving day.

Pack all essentials in one box and keep it close by.

This includes important documents, medications, cell phone chargers, a first aid kit, and anything else you may need right away. Pack all of these together where they can be easily accessed.

Keep important contact information handy.

Whether it's stored in your cel phone or written down on a piece of paper, be sure you have the contact information of your family members, friends, moving partners, or professional moving staff on hand.
