A storage unit is a smart investment for anyone who is planning a move. It will make your move easier, maximize your home sale, and free up time. Use the tips below to make the most of your storage rental during your upcoming transition.

How to Use a Storage Rental in a Move

1. De-Clutter Before Selling

If you have a home you need to sell, de-cluttering at home is an essential part of staging it. This will make the home look cleaner and larger. Most sellers benefit from removing one-third of their belongings before putting it on the market. Remove everything you don’t need, such as out-of-season clothing and supplies, recreational equipment, extra cleaning products, and large furniture. Clear out your closets, so they are only half-filled with belongings to show off your ample in-home storage space.

2. Start Packing Early

Get started by packing up everything that you won’t need in the immediate future — six weeks before your move is a perfect time to start. Label all the boxes so you know where everything will go in the new home so you can find things easily. Finish up at least half of the packing two weeks before your move.

3. Organize Based on Need

Take care in how you pack things into your storage rental. Place items you won’t need immediately toward the back, keeping the essentials easily accessible at the front of the unit. When you move into the new place, take the most important things with you first and head to the self-storage facility to grab them. This will make unpacking much more manageable and maintain the organization in your new home.
