How to Prepare Your Stuff For Storage

How to Prepare Your Stuff For Storage | Real Estate Articles Worth Reading | Scoop.it
See the best tips for organizing your stuff for storage. Learn how to prepare for your things to be moved with ease and less stress.
Bill Gassett's insight:

One of the things I have learned as a real estate agent for almost thirty years is that as hard as you try to plan a simultaneous move there are times when it does not work out.


The term "double move" is a dreaded one for many homeowners and who can blame them. Making a double move is not pleasant.  When you are selling a home and then buying another most want to go right from one to the next.


Occasionally this does not work out and there needs to be both temporary housing and/or storage options. For this reason I have put together a comprehensive guide on how to prepare your home for storage. In the article you will see some of the best tips for getting your home ready for moving day. When you are well organized your eventual move will go far more smoothly.


Some of the tips are common sense while others are things you may not have thought about. A quick example is getting your closets organized well in advance of the packing of your home.


When all of the closets in your home are well organized it makes the burden of not only moving them easier but also unpacking them and setting them up in your new place.


Not only will you see organizational tips but some excellent references to other topics such as choosing a great storage company.


Without a doubt moving can be difficult but when you are prepared in advance your stressed will be eased.
