3 Essential Household Moving Tips

household moving PhoenixMoving a household is never a simple task, but it’s one that can be made more efficient if you know a few helpful tips ahead of time. Here are some things you can do to make your upcoming move as easy as possible:

Clean out the clutter – Let’s face it, we all have clutter in our homes. Whether it’s old clothing that hasn’t seen the light of day in years, unused holiday decorations, or an old chair that doesn’t go with any of your décor, there are usually plenty of items in closets, attics, and garages that we no longer want or need. You can help make moving day go a little more quickly if you eliminate the items you no longer want beforehand. Go through your home room by room and start figuring out what you are willing to part with and donate those items to charity. Remember, donated goods are typically tax deductible.

Pack personal items – While your household moving company can pack and load almost everything in your home, you may want to pack some of your personal belongings beforehand. These items may include toiletries, important documents such as insurance policies and financial records, jewelry, and family photographs. These boxes should be clearly labeled and loaded into your personal vehicle so you have them with you throughout the moving process.

Make a plan on where your furniture is going in your new home – Sometimes, homeowners become so preoccupied with packing their belongings for the move that they don’t take time to plan where everything will go once it arrives at their new home. Make a plan on paper where everything will be going and present this plan to the household moving team so they can set everything up in the right place once it gets there.

Always stay in close touch with the project manager your moving company assigns you – If you have any questions about what needs to be done before the move you have an expert who can answer your questions and explain what type of preparations your specific project needs.
