9 Tips for A Stress-Free Move

R9 Tips for A Stress-Free Move Even though taking possession of a new home is fun people often dread the moving process itself.
Moving can be a stressful experience. See nine ways careful planning can give you a stress-free move:

Packing Central
Create a spot for your packing list, labels, markers, tape, etc. Make a List Write everything down! Before you pack anything, create a system. Number EVERY box you pack and write the contents on your list.

Supplies
You’ll need lots of boxes and packing materials more than you think. Set aside about 10 boxes for last minute moving day items. Tall wardrobe boxes are perfect for bulky, lightweight items like comforters, pillows, and clothes that need to remain hanging.

Color Code
Keep Things Together
Keep light bulbs with lamps, picture hooks with pictures, etc. Pack Early Save time by packing everything you can ahead of time. If it’s not essential to daily living, pack it!

Cleaning Kit
Put together a kit of basic cleaning supplies for moving day clean up jobs.

Use Luggage
Save boxes by packing items in luggage and duffle bags.

Keep Valuables Safe
Keep valuable possessions like jewelry and family heirlooms with you. Check your homeowner’s insurance to see how they’re covered during the move. Keep important papers and phone numbers with you.

Remember, planning ahead is the key to maintaining your sanity and having a stress-free move!
