You’re selling your home and it's time to move. Whatever you do don't leave planning until the last minute. Having made numerous moves in my adult life I've learned a thing or two. The #1 tip is GET ORGANZIED.
The day you accept a contract on your house is the day you should start going room by room to make three lists, what goes with you, what's trash and what to donate. If you haven't used it in the last few years (unless its a family heirloom) then chances are likely it should go in the trash or donate pile.
Pick one area in your house, preferably in the basement or garage to be the staging area. If you are donating items needing a pick up call early to make arrangements. If you have items you can drop off do it on a regular basis instead of waiting until the last day.
If you are going to hire a mover start getting your estimates right away. Whether it's a local move or cross-country most moving companies will provide you boxes and packing material. If you are moving yourself make sure you don't under estimate the time it will take and whether you have the right help standing by.
The new buyer coming into your home doesn't want to do their final walk-through and find the house still full of your belongings. It will lead to tense moments and perhaps cost you additional money in per diem fees or junk removal fees.
Poorly planned moves cause far more stress than necessary.
