Moving can be a bit overwhelming, but fear not! The Garza Home Team at RE/MAX North San Antonio is here to share 12 friendly and practical tips to make your move smoother and stress-free. Plus, these clever hacks will help you save both time and money.
- Choose a weekday for your move when banks, utilities, and government offices are open to avoid any unexpected delays.
- Wrap fragile items like pictures and dishes in sheets, blankets, and towels to save on packing supplies. Don’t forget, socks can double as extra cushioning for delicate wine glasses!
- Swap out costly bubble wrap or newspaper for Styrofoam disposable plates to protect your plates during the move.
- Pack your plates vertically to prevent breakage during transportation.
- Label each box with its contents and the room it belongs in. This makes unpacking a breeze.
- Prepare two special “OPEN ME FIRST” boxes with essentials like snacks, coffee, toiletries, a flashlight, and tools.
- Put your suitcases with wheels to good use by using them for heavy items like books.
- Keep your hanging clothes safe by using garbage bags as makeshift garment bags.
- Snap photos of how your electronics and knick-knacks are arranged on shelves. It’ll be a handy guide when you’re setting up your new place and for insurance purposes.
- Avoid stashing boxes in hard-to-reach places like the garage or attic to prevent any forgotten treasures.
- While the urge to take a break is strong, try to stay on track with your unpacking to maintain momentum.
- If you have pets, consider having them stay with a friend or family member during the move to reduce confusion and stress.
