Did you know that summer is the busiest time for moving? Moving in general can be very daunting, even when it’s to your dream property in Palm Springs—but factor in summer heat and the entire situation can be downright tough. Don’t get discouraged though—with some advanced planning you can streamline the process and make it as stress-free as possible. Whether you’re just looking at La Quinta homes for sale or are already in escrow, start planning your big move now so you can get ahead of the game and make the transition easier. Here are a few steps you can things you can do to make for a more seamless move.
1. Decide how you will be moving. This is the time to get estimates and determine what type of assistance you need for the move. Will you need to hire movers? Will they be moving just furniture or do you need them to pack everything and transport the boxes as well? Get referrals from friends and colleagues for licensed moving companies so you know you’re getting the best deal and that they do good work.
2. Start the packing process early. Even if you’re just now making offers on La Quinta homes for sale, it’s never too early to start packing up the little things that you don’t use on an everyday basis. Take inventory of all your belongings and photos of each room so you know how to unpack as well. Pick up some boxes in advance and start de-cluttering and purging those items you don’t need and haven’t used in a while.
3. Arrange the little details now. There are many things you can do in advance rather than the week before the move. For example, you can complete your change of address form at USPS.com and set up your utilities in advance, and also notify magazine subscriptions of your upcoming change.
