TIPS FOR A STRESS-FREE MOVE
Moving can be stressful, but Luxury Lake Homes can make selling or purchasing your home a breeze.
No matter the reason for your move, the process itself can be very stressful. Whether it’s relocating to a new luxury home for a job opportunity, you have outgrown your current home, or you are retiring to a beautiful new area such as Lake of the Ozarks, there are things you can do to help make the transition a smooth one.
The excitement sets in when you have chosen your perfect luxury living home, and again when you have sold your current property. Gathering boxes and moving supplies builds excitement to get started, diving in, and packing up all of your household items. Then reality sets in and it can become overwhelming. Sometimes, the smallest tasks can take up the most time.
Then the packing process is complete, and you look around and realize you now have to load all these boxes and furniture into the moving truck, only to turn around and unload and start the unpacking process!
Here are some helpful tips for the move itself …
ACCEPTANCE:
You know you are going to run into some bumps during the moving transition, so prepare yourself for when it happens. Stress is a natural response to things that interrupt our daily routines – just be prepared and tell yourself that it is only a temporary situation!
PLAN AHEAD:
Save some stress and headaches by planning ahead. Research moving companies or truck rental companies if you are moving yourself. Have all your utilities set up and ready for your arrival in your new home. Allow time for cleaning, both your new residence and the one you are vacating.
START WITH THE SMALL ITEMS:
Small items can add up in no time – think kitchen clutter! Each time you empty a kitchen drawer or cabinet, leave them open so you can see your progress.
ORGANIZATION:
Staying organized is one of the best ways to eliminate stress during a move. Label boxes and totes with what’s inside – you can take it a step further and color code the boxes with colored tape coinciding with the rooms where they are going. This makes it easier for the movers to know exactly where to place the items.
HELP:
Don’t be afraid to ask for help from family and friends. It’s amazing what a couple pizzas and beverages can motivate people to do. With family and friends involved, it can be a group effort to get things done faster, and usually a lot of laughs along the way!
