3 Stages to an Organized Move:
De-cluttering to Sell
- Is different than organizing to live.
- Get rid of any excess.
- Pack up unnecessary and off season items.
- Reduce furniture.
- De-personalize. Pack up family pictures, trophies, certificates, etc.
- You will save money on moving expenses by moving less stuff.
- Goal: highlight your home, not your stuff . Show that there is plenty of room, buyers will envision themselves in the space.
Organized Pack
- Pack like with like when organizing your move.
- Label boxes with the rooms the items will be going into at the new home.
- Keep an inventory of each box.
- Use the ABC system with each box
- A = open immediately
- B = open within a week or so
- C = if it sits in storage for 3-6 months, that’s okay
- Ask us about our Moving/Relocating Binder to help organize your move.
Unpack & Organize
- Our system will be easy for you to unpack when you have an organized move.
- You will have another opportunity to de-clutter when relocated to your new space.
- Find a home for everything when unpacking.
- Set a reasonable deadline to unpack everything.
- Keep in mind that if you cannot find a home or haven’t unpacked it in a reasonable amount of time, you probably do not need it.
