5 Minute Checklist for Moving Day

In Real Estate, you are helping your clients during an exciting new step in their lives. Moving into a new home and possibly a new career has the potential to be a transformative shift. The transition, though, can be stressful if you're not prepared! Here are 5 tips to pass on to your customers to make sure that moving into a new home is as painless and stress-free as it can be.

Five Steps for a Stress-Free Move

1. Pack everything you'll need right away separate. Keep track of these important boxes! That includes everything you would need for a vacation, like toiletries, towels, and any necessary medication.
2. Don't forget the pets. Moving into an unfamiliar house can be stressful for your pets, too! By having their beds and bowls ready when you arrive, you can keep them in their comfortable routine in your new home. If your dog is relaxed, don't be surprised if the effect is contagious!
3. A place setting for each person - spoons, forks, and glasses. A throwaway plastic set is convenient. The local movers at Boyer-Rosene assure us that you will not want to do dishes on your first night in your new home!
4. All the chargers you need - for your phone and your laptop. Running out of power on your important personal devices would definitely ratchet up your stress level on moving day!
5. A plan for all the rest of it. Have an unpacking plan that ensures you have what you need as you need it. For instance, you will need your kitchenware in your first week at the new address, but not your holiday decorations.

If you use a professional mover, an accurate labeling system for your boxes is all you need, and then the professionals do the unpacking. Talk about painless! If you're providing the muscle yourself, start by labeling your boxes, and then place them strategically in your house. Leave the most important items, typically your boxes marked kitchen, bath, and bedding, at the top of your piles for easy access.
