27 Mar Tips to make your move easier
Plan the timing of your move
To make a move, it’s necessary for your new home to be in condition to receive you and your family. If you need to do any renovations, it’s best to postpone the move until they’re complete and the house is clean.
If possible, choose a suitable time for all family members. If you work, you can schedule it for when you have vacation time; for families with children, it’s better to do it when the school season is over.
Take advantage of the move to clean up and get rid of things and rescue memories
It’s not necessary to move absolutely everything you’ve been accumulating for years in the back of your closets to your new home. Use the move as an opportunity to get rid of things that are no longer useful.
You’ll likely find forgotten objects or things you thought you had lost and it’ll be a special thrill to recover them.
Get lots of boxes
It’s best to put everything in cardboard boxes. It’s the best way to transport everything easily and safely.
If you hire a specialized moving company like IMS Movers, they’ll supply you with the boxes a few days before the scheduled date. That way, you can calmly pack up your personal belongings.
Share responsibilities
Each person should be responsible for their belongings, to the best of their abilities. Even if children are small, have them take care of their toys, stuffed animals, and books. Assign them the corresponding boxes. You’ll see that it’ll be a very educational (and fun) moment for them.
Study the new home to know where everything goes
There’s nothing more stressful than movers, family, and friends helping and asking at the same time, “Where should I put this?” Get a notebook to write down, even if it’s just in broad strokes, where everything goes in the new house.
Prepare a bag with “things that can’t be lost”
In it, you can keep your jewelry, bank documents, and anything else you consider important. Keep that bag with you during the days of the move.
We hope that with these tips, your move will be simpler and you can enjoy your new home without as much trouble.
