5 tips for preparing for a move

  • Stop stocking up and filling the pantry with groceries. Use what you have on hand now, so that you won’t have to move it.

  • Start early.  By starting early you will have more options when it comes to disposing of unwanted and unneeded items.  This will save you money as you will have fewer items to move and little or no storage fees.

  • Keep important papers in one place.  Designate a box for storing your important papers early on in the move process.  Place all of your documents in it, so you will always know where to find them.

  • Decide which favourite items you want to keep.  Do this early on in the downsizing process, as it will help you determine how large your new home needs to be.  It will also help you determine which pieces of furniture you will be taking.  For example, if you aren’t planning to keep a lot of china, you won’t need a china cabinet.

  • Make a list of family members and friends that you may want to give items to.  These may be items that you don’t want to part with, but know you can’t take with you.
