Just bought your dream house using the search Fayetteville MLS on Living Fayetteville? Moving to your dream home soon and is freaking out how to organize everything? Here are some tips…
1. Prepare all the boxes, labels, colored stickers for color coding, packing tapes, etc. in advance.
2. Make sure the moving truck company has been informed on what the scheduled date is.
3. Have a plan where to start packing (Bedrooms, Kitchen…)
4. Have an allotted place ready where you can place all the labeled and packed boxes. Preferably near the main door so it’s easy to move out.
5. Start packing!
- Sort out stuff into trash, those you can resell and those you’ll bring with you!
- Make sure that those in liquid form are sealed property.
- Throw trash.
- Set aside those you can resell in a garage sale get a few buck out of that! You can have the kids help you with that.
- Pack and label those to go’s!
6. Color code each box. It might be green for clothes, pink for kitchen stuff, blue for tools, etc. This is so you won’t get lost in where to put the boxes later on. This will help you have an easy organization when you unpacked and arrange afterwards in your new home.
7. If needed, write in big and bold letters in those fragile boxes so those can be handled with extra care.
8. Spend at least 1-2 hours a day packing for the next few weeks before the move. Doing it all at once a day before moving can be exhausting and frustrating.
9. Keep a checklist. Cross out those you’ve done. It will give you some relief and sense of accomplishment as you move packing the next item in the list.
10. Enjoy the packing process. 🙂
