Relocation Tips by Baird & Warner : REAL ESTATE of an Upcoming Move How to Get Ahead G
ot a new job? Work relocating you? Or maybe you just want a change of scenery — whatever the reason for your upcoming move, these handy
tips can help you stay one step ahead AND keep your sanity. USE IT OR LOSE IT
Get a jump-start on packing in the months leading up to your move with a “use it or lose it” mentality. It forces you to decide which of your belongings are must-keep, and it helps you use up things that aren’t easy to pack, like frozen foods, cleaning supplies, and toiletries. This is also a good method to keep in mind as you sort through clothes, bags, bedding and other things you might have forgotten about.
PACK BY ROOM You might want to put all your pictures, for example, into one box, but experts say people keep track of their belongings best by remembering where they were in the house. Box your home according to room, and you’ll be able to remember where everything is when you go to unpack. You can also color code boxes with bright-colored tape, so you can know just by looking which boxes belong to which room.
NOT ALL BOXES ARE CREATED EQUAL Choosing the right
box is crucial to moving efficiently and keeping your stuff stay safe over the long journey. Heavy
things like books should go in smaller boxes with sturdy sides and edges, so they’re easier to carry. Lighter items like clothes, bedding and pillows should go in large boxes. Use medium-sized boxes for things like kitchen appliances, toys, and electronics.
