Moving Tips For Sellers

For Sellers

Packing to move is stressful. One of the most important things to do is pace yourself when packing. Start by packing items that are not going to be used until after you move. Remember to get lots of moving supplies in advance. Different size packing boxes, packing tape and packing paper.

Start by organizing your:

Closets
Cupboards
Drawers
Attic
Basement
Garage

Decide if you are going to

Keep
Donate
Throw away

Everything that you are going to get rid of make sure to remove it from your home within 2 days. Haul off any items that are to be thrown away. Items that you are going to keep need to be organized. Anything that can be packing early needs to be packed and labeled.

Off season items like winter/summer clothes
Books
Pictures
Small decor pieces
Small appliances seldom used
Memory items, albums, old school items etc

Label your boxes very carefully. If the box is from your bedroom closet and is all shoes and purses, label the box bedroom closet/ purses & shoes. The more accurate the label the easier it will be to unpack and find items if needed.

Keep a clear tote with items that you are going to have to use before and after the move.
This tote will go with you in your car for easy access.

Small arrangement of tools that you may need
extension cords and power strips.
Light bulbs
Bathroom tissue
Paper towels
Hand soap
First aid kit
Medications
Cleaning supplies

Another clear tote will be needed for;

Important papers
Legal documents
Jewelry
Expensive or important breakables
