10 Helpful Moving Tips from the Experts

by EYA Homes

Are you considering a move in 2017, but not sure where to begin? From de-cluttering your home to "right-sizing" your belongings to fit your new space, here are 10 tips from the experts at Let’s Move LLC for making this your easiest move yet.

  1. Start early, end happy: De-cluttering a home doesn't have to be overwhelming. Start with realistic goals (such as a closet) and work in small increments of time. You'll have made lots of progress before you know it!
  2. Create a space plan: A space plan is a road map for your move and will help you make decisions on which items will fit in your new home.
  3. Don't keep "what if" items: How often have you said, "What if I want to use that one day?" Only keep items you love, use or need.
  4. You are not an ezStorage for your children: Schedule a pick-up date with your children to take the items you have been storing for them.
  5. Be generous: Donate as many items as possible. It will make you feel good and may have positive tax benefits.
  6. Use the fine china: If you’ve been saving the “good stuff” for special occasions, now is the time to enjoy it!
  7. Consolidate collections: If you have a collection, take a favorite item as a show piece and share the others with family and friends.
  8. Use what you have: Use the items in your pantry before buying any more or donate any unused pantry items to local food banks.
  9. Start shredding the paperwork: Now is the time to shred unnecessary paperwork. The folks at Let’s Move can provide a list of documents that are recommended to keep.
  10. Ask for help!: Moving can be stressful. Let the professionals reduce your stress and help you through the process.
