Make Your Move Easier

By Pammy McGrath


If you have recently purchased or are about to purchase some amazing Texas Hill Country real estate, such as Fredericksburg, Texas real estate, you might be so consumed with searching for a home and handling all the details of escrow that you aren't focused on your own moving process. However, packing and moving can be quite stressful, and there are ways to make this process much easier.

Your first step is to hire a moving company, unless you plan on completing the move yourself. If you don't wish to use professionals, you still probably need to reserve a truck for your moving day. If you go with a company, get several quotes and never choose a mover unless they actually come to your home and assess what needs to be moved and then provide you with a solid estimate of how much the move will cost.

One chore that we all dread but must complete is packing, and the sooner you begin tackling this task, the better. You can simply begin by packing items you don't use every day. This might include decorative items, holiday decorations, books, out-of-season clothes and non-essential kitchen gear.

When you are packing, it is very important to label each and every box carefully. Not only should you label the contents of the box, but also in which room it should be placed in the new home. It's a good idea to color code the boxes and have a color assigned to each room. This makes it easier on the move-in day when you instantly can see where each box should be placed.

There are so many other tasks to deal with and it is very hard to recall everything you have to do, so to ensure that you don't forget something important, it's best to create a big list with all of the tasks placed in categories. You also can add notations as to when each project or task must be completed.

This list will need to include a packing schedule as well as tasks such as changing your address. You need to contact the post office in person or online and put in a forwarding order, but you also need to actually contact every company that sends you bills, magazines or other items and change the address permanently. Also add tasks such as transferring prescriptions, school records and medical records if you will be moving out of the area.
