The Top Tips To Remember When Moving

July 27, 2022 by Linda White

The Top Tips To Remember When MovingIf you have recently purchased a home, you are probably excited to move into your new house; however, the moving process can be stressful. There are a few important tips you need to keep in mind if you are moving soon. Make sure to plan ahead, as there are several ways to save time and money.

Get Quotes From A Few Moving Companies

First, you need to get multiple quotes from multiple moving companies. If you have heavy furniture, it is better to hire a moving company to reduce the chances of your furniture getting damaged. When you talk to moving companies, make sure they can handle the items you have. If you have a grand piano, make sure the moving company is comfortable moving it safely.

Get Rid Of The Items You Do Not Need

Before you move, make sure you get rid of the items you do not need. You may want to start by dividing your items into three piles. Create a pile for items you want to keep, another pile for the items you will donate, and a third pile for the items you throw away. Get a receipt for the items you donate, as you might be able to deduct the value of the items from your taxes as charitable donations.

Pack Up Before The Movers Get There

While you might be able to ask the movers to help you pack, it is better to pack before they get there. Label the boxes so you know where they go in your new house. Movers usually charge by the hour, so if you can save them some time, you can save yourself some money. Remember that moving expenses could be tax-deductible, but talk to an account if you have questions about tax deductions.

Get Ready For The Moving Process

These are a few of the most important tips you need to keep in mind if you are moving soon. While the moving process can be a bit busy and frustrating, if you plan ahead, you can streamline the process. There might even be opportunities for you to save money. Remember that you should get quotes from multiple moving companies before you decide which moving company you go with.

Expecting Children: How to Quickly Move into a Larger Home Before a Baby Arrives

November 10, 2021 by Linda White

Expecting Children: How to Quickly Move into a Larger Home Before a Baby ArrivesStarter homes are incredibly popular for young couples who plan to have a family in the future but don’t need a large place yet.

Life moves pretty fast sometimes and many couples find themselves expecting children before they have begun to look for the next home. This shouldn’t be a problem, as moving into a larger home before the baby arrives can be a lot easier than it appears.

Always Move Before The Baby Is Born

There is a choice when upgrading a home for children: moving beforehand and settling down in advance of having kids or waiting until after having the child and dealing with a move later on.

It may be tempting to wait until the stress of a pregnancy is over to move into a larger home. After all, selling and buying houses can be a tiring process for anybody, let alone expectant parents. Just remember, no matter how difficult or stressful the move is it will be one hundred times worse after having kids.

Work With A Professional To Help Coordinate The Move

There is nothing wrong with rushing through a purchase or the sale of a home, as long as everything is done correctly. A situation like this is never the right time to assume control and responsibility for every aspect of the move.

A real estate professional, once told of the situation, will know exactly how to handle everything. From preparing a current home for sale to finding a larger house in the right price range, a professional will have experience in coordinating the process.

Prepare For The Move In Stages

The best way to go about facilitating a quick move is to go in steps. Everything in the house that is not necessary to the staging should be boxed up and moved into temporary storage before the home is shown.

This is beneficial because it removes all clutter from the house and helps to make a quick sale and also allows for many personal items to be moved into the new house without having to wait for the current home’s sale to close. Instead of one gigantic move, the process can be broken down into several smaller moves to relieve some stress.

When there is a deadline on a move, you can increase your chances of selling your current home and buying a new one by using the services of a real estate professional. When things are done fast they need to be done right and a professional with experience can facilitate the entire process while making sure nothing slips through the cracks.
