Quick Guide to a Stress-Free Move : Moving Done Right

By: Richard Holley..

Moving, no matter what the reason, is stressful. It causes you to accomplish a great deal of planning and work, usually in a very short time. Moving logistics can be a nightmare, creating too much stress, unless you plan and organize your move carefully. Home owners and renters alike face myriad details which are enough to stress anyone.

Fortunately, there are some very practical methods to reduce the stress associated with moving. For example, new online planning tools, such as the one at www.planning-your-move.com, help keep you organized every step of the way. Such services are convenient and inexpensive, taking you through the process step-by-step and allowing you to print out forms, checklists, and other handy items. Because these planning tools are web-based, you can use them from nearly any computer, anywhere that you have an internet connection, even while traveling to your new place.

George Carlin once said something along the lines of: "Everyone has stuff. Your house is just a place to keep your stuff." Some of your "stuff" may be important and useful while some may not have been used in years. Because moving services charge based on the weight of your possessions, you probably want to leave some of your things behind, giving them to charity or selling them in a yard sale. There is no sense moving items you don't need when you are paying by the weight of the move contents!

Web-based Customized Moving Planning sites provide an effective means to keep track of the huge variety of tasks and information associated with your move. Some of these services allow you to create a Custom Belongings Plan, which can help keep stress at a minimum by allowing you to keep better track of where all your possessions are bound for.

Naturally, you likely will not need to move every item in your current residence to your new place. You might be surprised at how many items you have that could be donated to charity, given away, or sold to someone who really needs the things that would just be a burden for you to move. Online checklists of items to move, sell, discard, give away, or donate can be a real help when it comes to mitigating the stress typically experienced with an otherwise complex and expensive relocation.

Look critically at your furniture in light of where you will be moving. If you had an older home with high ceilings, you may have purchased furniture that fit into that motif but which simply will not work in a modern condo setting. You can sell that furniture and buy modern styles after you arrive at your new home. However, do not sell items you treasure in the rush of moving. If you simply love that antique china cabinet your grandmother left you, keep it and fit it into your new home dcor. After all, today's interior designers blend vintage and ultra-modern into great looking rooms.

Home owners will need to list their current house for sale and locate another to purchase in the new area. Renters will need to locate housing too. When moving farther away than across town, visiting multiple properties over a span of several weekends or days can be costly and inefficient. Instead, allow the online moving application to create a fact sheet for the realtor selling your home and another which lists the needs for your new residence. Then you can choose to view only a few choices in one quick trip.

You can save even more time if the realtor has properties listed in such as way that you can see them online either in photographs or 360-degree video. You can then personally visit only those homes that you really believe you will love.

The latest in moving technology, the online move assistant application can save you time, money and, more importantly, lots of stress. They are easy to use and you can save your information so you do not have to know every detail when you begin. The moving assistant will help you each day of your planning, execution, and relocation.
