Essential advice to get you started
Begin planning 6-12 months before your target move date. This reduces stress and allows time for thoughtful decisions.
Focus on one room or category at a time to avoid feeling overwhelmed. Start with less emotional spaces like the garage or basement.
Use four boxes: Keep, Donate, Sell, Trash. This simple system makes sorting decisions clearer and faster.
Know the dimensions of your new home before deciding what furniture to keep. This prevents bringing items that won't fit.
Take photos and notes on valuable items for insurance, estate records, or potential sales. This creates important documentation.
Don't try to do everything alone. Professional help can save time, reduce stress, and often pays for itself through better outcomes.
