Spring is here and at Help You Dwell we say that it is also the beginning of moving season! There’s no question that moving can be one of the most stressful things in our lives because moving usually means change is happening in other areas of life, too. Change is hard, but change can be good.
Maybe you just got a new job or are moving in with your new spouse. Perhaps you are moving to accommodate a new little one or you are beginning a remodel so that your current house better suits your needs. Whatever the situation, even if it’s for exciting new adventures, moving can be very stressful. While we can’t promise a completely stress-free move, we can recommend ways to keep the stress from becoming overwhelming.
One service we offer at Help You Dwell is Move Management. We can help you through the process in a variety of ways. We offer several services that are helpful when you find yourself planning for a move. We offer pre-move services like decluttering and packing. We think it is best to declutter and purge before moving. There is no reason to move junk you haven’t used in years, or worse, things you still haven’t unboxed from your last move. We can come in and help you declutter and purge so that none of those things move with you. We can even take your donations and see that the appropriate organization gets them!
Once your home is decluttered and is ready to be put on the market, we can help with staging to sell. We can come in and help you use the decor items you already have to create an inviting space that is free of clutter and ready to show. We have interior designers on staff who are experts in this area!
Help You Dwell does packing, too. We can bring boxes, tape, bubble wrap, and paper to your home. Our team can pack boxes so you are free to do other things that keep you busy when moving. We have a Move Management Coordinator who is an expert in all things moving related.
We also offer moving-day coordination. We can be present to help coordinate service providers and serve as a point person during the day of your move. Moving day is usually the most stressful day of the move, so why not allow us to help ease that stress?
One of our most popular services is post-move unpacking and organizing. Once you’ve moved into your new home, you are left with rooms full of boxes and new spaces you’ve never lived in before. Let us come in, unpack, and organize so that your new home serves you well.
Here are a few more tips that will make your move easier:
Create To-Do Lists: Make a list of everyone you need to contact and places you will need to notify about your change of address (utilities, schools, banks, driver’s license, USPS, etc.) so that you will not be caught off guard or fall behind with bills.
Make Space for You: Designate one spot for trash and boxes that are broken down after you’ve moved so that every room doesn’t feel chaotic.
Schedule Childcare: Make sure if you have little ones, they have a place to go on moving day. Finding a friend or grandparent who can help watch them will free you up to focus on the move.
If you are preparing for a move or even a new phase of life, we would love to help! Reach out for a move management consultation today.
