3 Easy Tips for Your Next Residential Move

Posted by Richard Vose on May 1, 2013

Everyone has to move at some point or another in their lives. Most of us this means only residential moves, but for others maybe some commercial moves are in order. Wakefield Moving and Storage is here to bring you 3 tips for helping make your next residential move and easy one.

Have a Garage Sale

Having a garage sale before you move is a great idea. Not only will this help you get rid of items you no longer use, need or have seen in a while. Along with getting rid of unwanted items, you will be able to get some extra cash in the process.

Pack Every Day 

As you notice you moving day is coming closer, try to pack at least a box or two a night. This will help out a lot in the long run. By the time the move comes, you will either be done packing, or have very little to do. Remember to pack things you won’t need at all first. As you move closer to your move date, you can begin to pack items you use frequently.

Remember to pack any items you uses daily (Medicine, Hair Care products, other toiletries) in a separate bag that you will keep with you. You never know if items will be lost in a move or not. It’s always better to be safe than sorry.

Scouting Out the New Area

When you are moving to a new area, it is best to go scout out the new neighborhood. Look around for your local bank, restaurants, cleaners, High School, and other entertainment venues you might want to attend. This will make things go much smoother one you are moved into your new home.
