Edmonton Real Estate Blog

Whether it’s moving in or moving out, one of the least enjoyable parts of buying and selling Edmonton real estate is the moving part. It feels like a chore that you are obligated to do. Before you start packing everything in one box here are some tips you need to know before moving to your Edmonton house!

Preparation

You need a plan before you start moving. Packing should be done in a organized manner which will revolve around your unpacking. Preparing for your relocation is going to involve keeping items sorted by rooms and knowing what is important in the first days in your new house.

Address Change

One of the most important things to do prior to moving is relating your change of address to important people in your life. This includes the bank, the post office and your utility providers.

Ask For Help

You don’t necessarily need to hire a moving company when relocating to your new Edmonton home, though they can be used as a last option. You can ask for help from your close friends and family. You might even find some high school kids looking for extra income willing to help.

Packing

You should have plenty of tools and supplies around to help you with packing. People usually assume that large boxes are for the heavy items. The fact is you should put light objects in larger boxes while the heavier ones should go in smaller boxes. This will make carrying a whole lot easier.

Label

By labelling your inventory you can make your move simple and efficient. Don’t just seal away items in boxes and worry about their location later.

Cleaning

For those who  have purchased an Edmonton house make sure it is clean prior to your move in date. You can order a cleaning service to do it or even family and friends. When the time comes for you to move in you will have peace of mind about the cleanliness of your new home.

Moving in or out can be rewarding especially when you are done with all the work. By planning ahead you will use less time and effort. And by the end of it you can sit back, relax and enjoy your new home!!
