Ok Milton it’s Time to Move…Let’s Organize!

Moving into a new home can bring mixed emotions.  You may feel excited as you accomplish this milestone, and yet; you could feel apprehension as there is so much to be done!  The key to a successful move is staying organized!

Here are some tips to help you get started:

1.       Write a to-do list:  Write down everything you need to accomplish.

2.       Organize your list: Put items in order of importance.  What needs to be done first?

3.       Recruit help: Organize a team of family and friends to help. Don’t do it all yourself!

4.       Single Task: Start with one item on your list until it is complete. 

5.       Donate items: As you go through each room, decide what you’d like to keep and what you can donate to Goodwill or have a moving sale.

6.       Label everything: Put a label on each box to ensure a smooth move into your new home.

7.       Valuable items:  Make sure you put any valuable items in your car for safe transportation. Example: Family heirlooms.

Buyers Usually Want What they See!

It’s been my experience over the last 12 years as a Real Estate Broker that if a seller has an item such as a light fixture, window covering or a particular mirror and they have an emotional attachment to them it would be wise to remove them and replace them with another before putting your home for sale!  

When selling your home, items you are including and excluding with the sale is something to consider. If you have an emotional attachment to a particular item my suggestion is to remove the item before putting the home for sale, many times I have been negotiating an offer and negotiations turn into negotiating the dinning room light fixture or the curtains that match the bed spread.  

Décor sets the mood for a buyer and if something really appeals to them in your home that may not be included in the sale and they can’t picture the home without it the seller could face losing that item or the potential sale.  

Selling a home is a stressful time and can be very emotional, so to help keeps emotions in check and make negotiations run smoothly stick with a “what you see is what you get” policy and price your home wisely.

Making a Smooth Move

The idea of moving your possessions into your new home can be both exciting and daunting.  Sure, you can’t wait to move in, but all those boxes and packing and unpacking and the mess!  Well, with a bit of planning and organization your move can be a relatively painless, even positive experience.
 
An ideal time to begin planning your move is soon after you and the Seller have signed the Agreement of Purchase and Sale, and all conditions have been met.  At that point, you know the deal is firm and you’ve agreed upon a possession date, the date when you’ll have access to your new home.
