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.
