Moving to a new home can be very stressful, especially if you have never moved or just don’t have time to take care of all the details. Last month we presented five reasons to hire a move manager. Here are four more things a move manager can do to streamline your move and minimize disruption in your family routine.
1. Pack Contents of Home After Sale
Once your home is sold, the hard work begins, packing everything into boxes. It can sometimes take a family a week or more to pack everything themselves. Out of Chaos can minimize stress and disruption in your family life. They can coordinate a team with experience packing household items to ensure they are safe and secure for short or long-distance moves. They can streamline your move and pack an entire household in as little as one or two days.
2. Coordinate Removal of Rubbish, Recycling & Donations
When you move to a new home or downsize, you will likely have the opportunity to sort through all of your possessions. You may not need some items, or they may not fit in the new home. Out of Chaos is familiar with local charities and their needs. We can help you find places to donate gently used goods.
The last thing you want to do is leave a pile of garbage and recycling for the incoming residents of your old home. Out of Chaos can coordinate rubbish and recycling pickup and arrange for your previous home to be cleaned once the moving truck has departed. You don’t have to worry about looking back. Just focus on the future — life in your new home.
3. Streamline Your Move Day
There is so much to do on moving day. You must supervise the moving crew in each home and on the truck because boxes can “go missing” from an unattended moving van. You have to secure the old home after the moving crew leaves and get to the new home before the moving crew arrives. When unloading begins, you must verify the checklist to see that all the items have arrived. Simultaneously, you must run around the house to ensure boxes are unloaded in the correct rooms. At the same time, you likely have to worry about family members and pets.
Let Out of Chaos handle these details. They can safely transfer all your belongings by having team members in each home. The team will inspect your old home to verify that all your possessions are loaded on the truck. They will check that boxes are placed in their correct location in the new home for easy unpacking.
4. Unpack & Setup New Home
Unpacking boxes can take even longer than packing them. In some cases, a family may have unopened boxes in their garage for months or years. Wouldn’t it be nice to be completely unpacked and organized in only a few days? Out of Chaos can streamline your move. We create a detailed plan to organize your home as we unpack. You will immediately feel comfortable, like you have lived in your home for weeks.
Additionally, we can:
- List damaged or broken items as they are unpacked so you can immediately file an insurance claim.
- Arrange for setting up items and furniture assembly.
- Arrange for the removal of all boxes and packing material.
Let Out of Chaos manage your move to minimize stress and disruption in your life. To learn more about move coordination services from Out of Chaos Professional Organizing Services, please visit Move Management Services or contact the Out of Chaos team today.
