It takes a great amount of time to get done with the whole moving process. Besides the actual moving, you have to organize a great deal of time just to be on schedule, while balancing your usual workload and regular chores in the meantime. You will certainly struggle to keep time in moving without proper and prior planning, and if you have children onboard, then it will not help your cause.
So, to smooth things out, you need to have a proper framework. The first thing to do is to get our real estate agent onboard and on the team. Ask your agent to expedite the process of your current home for sale. Always act upon the agent’s advice to have a successful deal. The next thing to do is to prepare your house for the various potential buyers. Make sure your home for sale appears to be neat and clean, and have no excess baggage for the new owners. Strategically, have your agent arrange an open house to enhance the early chances of a successful deal.
Now, the toughest part would be to get the children excited for the move. You can trigger their enthusiasm by simply involving them in the moving process. Show them that moving to a new home could be fun. It is understandable that the children may find it difficult to cope with whole process of leaving behind their old friends and home, but cheer them up by positively portraying about the new home and the neighborhood. Persuade your children to pack their stuff and that so in a smart manner. Remove any unnecessary items like old clothes and donate the old toys to some charity to decrease your weight.
Once you put your house on the market, it is wise to start packing for certain items that aren’t use regularly and that would take a long time to be packed. Clean out the stuff from the kitchen cabinets and closets to avoid any unpleasant delay on the moving process.
Unarguably, it could prove to be an adventure if you play your cards right and design the whole moving process with proper teamwork and planning.
