Planning for moving day, whether you’re a renter or a homeowner, will ensure that your move is free from stress and aggravation. Making it easier for a trusted moving company like Wagoner Moving Systems to handle your move which will also save you time and money. Take note of these three handy pointers to ensure your belongings make it to your new residence without a hitch.

How to Prepare Your Home for a Move

1.  Eliminate Clutter

Get rid of unwanted possessions and furnishings in the weeks before moving day to limit what has to be transported by your movers. Envision your new home and consider if they will fit into your new residence. If you order a dumpster for a weekend, you’ll have ample time to clear clutter from the basement, garage, closets, and attic. Make plans to donate any usable housewares, clothing, or furniture that you don’t want to take with you.

2. Label What You Pack

If you pack any possessions, label the boxes with their contents. Separate items that you expect to take with you, such as keys, credit cards and checkbooks, a change of clothing, flashlights, cleaning supplies, chargers, pet food, and the like.

3. Don’t Rush

If you’re anxious about moving day, try to stay calm. Avoid a sense of urgency by following a plan. There’s no reason to be tense if you start cleaning and decluttering your old home a few months before the big day. Try creating a checklist to keep on task and on schedule. In the week before your move, confirm service cancellation or transfer with your utility companies, including electric, gas, water, internet, phone, and cable.
