Congratulations!! Your property is now settled.
What is the next?
1. Tell Your Family and Friends that You're Moving
As we all know, moving is one of the most stressful tasks you can ever undertake; however, as much as it's difficult for adults, it's even harder for the younger members of the family. Telling them that they need to say goodbye to their friends and school and all things familiar is hard. Find out how to break the news and make the move a positive decision for the whole family.
2. Decide to Hire a Mover or Move yourself This is a question that plagues all people on the move. And like most decisions, the answer is different for everyone depending on numerous factors such as time, money, difficulty and complexity of the move. If you're moving across town, a self-move may make more sense than if you're moving across the country. Still, to ensure you're making the best decision, it's a good idea to weigh all options.
3. Set up a Moving Budget
After you've decided how you're going to move your things, either hiring a company or by moving it yourself, the next step is to set up a moving budget. It's an important step to keep you on track financially and to know how much your move will end up costing you. It's amazing how small items such as a new shower curtain, sheets or restocking your shelves all add up.
4. Hire the Best Moving Company
If you've decided to hire a moving company, make sure you ask these questions while you have them on the phone. This is your chance to interview the company to see if they are going to meet your needs.
5. Get the Right Size of Rental Moving Truck
If you've decided to move your stuff yourself, whether it's across town, state, or the country, you'll need to rent a moving van, truck, or trailer. Check out these tips on renting the right vehicle for your move.
6. Start Packing up Your Home
If you're doing your own packing, make sure you give yourself plenty of time; at least six weeks before your move date and plan carefully. Careful planning and packing will save you time, money and a lot of hair pulling.
7. Pack Your House Room by Room
Use these easy to follow guides to packing each room in your house. You'll find tips on how to organize and prepare for moving and step-by-step instructions that will have you packed and ready to move in no time!
8. Save Money on Your Move
If you're like most people, you can't resist a garage sale. There's something about going through someone else's stuff, or maybe it's the hunt, the hunt for a bargain. No matter what the reason, garage sales are a great way to get rid of some stuff, and make some money which can be used to haul the rest of your belongings to your new place.
9. Settle Into Your New Home
Even though you think your move is over once the movers have left and the last box has been brought in from the truck. But don't relax just yet, there's still some stuff to do besides unpack.
