Best Apps for when you are moving homes

By

Moving homes is an exciting time but it can also be a stressful time.  Once you find the house you dreamed of the reality of packing organizing and reestablishing a home life can hit hard.  The ultimate goal with all moves is to stay as organized and prepared as possible. 

I have found some very useful apps, that can actually make all that preparing and organizing possible!  With services to assist with cleaning, disassembling and reassembling, check list and detailed To Do list.....you know what they say "there's an app for that". 

 

To Do list - planning your move from beinning to end: Sortly

Pack with the help of Sortly, a digital organizer. Use the app to take inventory of what you packed in each box so you know where to find your wine opener, your favorite jeans or your drill. With the premium account you can even create QR code labels for your boxes, access your account online and export your list via PDF and Dropbox. 

 

For visualizing your new space: MagicPlan

Every space looks bigger when it's empty, so it can be hard to approximate whether all of your furniture will actually fit. The MagicPlan app can measure rooms from a picture you take so that you can figure out what you should try to sell or replace before your move-in day. 

 

For cleaning your clothes and sheets etc. before packing: Cleanly

You want to have clean clothes and sheets when your arrive at your new home, but doing load after load of laundry is time consuming and tiring. Instead, try using services like Cleanly, Rinse or Washio. You can schedule pickup and delivery times for anything you need washed and dry-cleaned with no legwork on your end.
