Prioritize the Packing

So you’ve got a signed purchase agreement on a new home, and you’re excited to move in. If you decided to do only a partial pack or self pack, you take the lead but we are still here to help! Take our tips on packing to help lighten your load a bit.

Start early. Once you’ve got a signed purchase agreement on your house, it’s time to start packing. This will let you pack at a more leisurely pace. Okay, so maybe packing is never “leisurely,” but packing all your stuff over a period of a month is way less stressful than trying to pack it all in one week.

Prioritize based on items you use the least. Things like your off-season clothes and the clutter in the garage can all be packed up early, since you’re unlikely to need them before you move. Go through your house and prioritize the items in each room, and then plan out when you need to pack them in reverse order.

Have a plan for the “last minute” packing. There are some things, like some of your kitchenware and clothes, that you’re going to have to pack last minute. If you have all your boxes and a “game plan” ready for packing these things, the last couple days before your move will be much easier.
