Moving to a
different home within your city is one thing. Moving to an all new city, or
even a new state or country, is a different challenge altogether. It can be an
exciting adventure but also a taxing journey. There are a lot of things to keep
in mind when you’re moving long distance — both things to do an things not to
do. Here are a few of our tips:
DO
Start Packing Early
How do you eat an
elephant? One bite at a time. The earlier you start to pack, the less trouble
it will be. Give yourself plenty of time to pack your things and organize them
in the right boxes. You can get boxes from a local liquor store, a friend, or
even from work. The cost of the move will be expensive enough. If you can take
care of your packing yourself, you’ll be grateful for the savings. And if you
can do most of your packing before the big day, you’ll save yourself pounds of
stress.
DON’T
Take Everything With You
Again, moving is
expensive enough, and the more you move with you, the more time and money the
trip will cost. And the truth is, you probably don’t need to take everything
with you. Now is a great time to start decluttering. Host a yard sale to get
rid of old or unwanted items. Decide what furniture you want to take with you
and what you can replace when you get to the new location.
DO
Take an Inventory of Your Home
The longer the
move, the more chance that things could get lost along the way. That’s why it’s
important to take an inventory of everything you’re taking with you. In fact,
your inventory helps not just in terms of security but also organization while
you’re unpacking. Label each box with a number and keep a list that says what
exactly is in which box. Once you get to your new place, you’ll be relieved to
be able to know exactly where everything is.
DON’T
Do it Alone
This is true for
every step of the process, not just the actual move. Often homebuyers or
sellers think that it will be easier to buy or sell a home solo rather than
hiring a real estate agent. But if you want to really get the best deal and
have your interests be truly represented, you need the help of an expert realtor. The same goes for moving.
Moving is always a hassle done alone, but if you’re moving cross country, it’s
nearly impossible. Whether you accept the help of friends or a long distance
mover, it’s better if you rely on others to help you get everything settled
into your new home.
