No matter the distance, moving is one of the most stressful and time consuming events that people go through. Your entire life is uprooted which can be a lot to handle, especially if you are moving out of state or country.
If you are thinking of or are currently making a long distance move, today’s blog post is for you! Below we cover five tips to help ease the stress and frustrations of moving and help make the transition as seamless as possible. Let’s dive in:
Set a plan once the move is confirmed.
Do not wait until right before the big move to get your ducks in a row! Shortly after the move is confirmed set a plan of action that details what you want to accomplish each week leading up to the move and important details/tasks to keep you organized. This will be the to-do list of all to-do lists!
Find and hire a trustworthy moving company.
The first moving company you talk with will not always be who you hire. Speak with a couple in-home moving companies, compare prices and hire the most reputable and credible company to avoid your belonging getting caught in a moving scam.
Sort through and downsize your home.
As with any move, you want to make sure you are only packing and moving items you want to take with you to your new home. Moving is a tremendous opportunity to sort through clothing, donate old furniture and get rid of anything that doesn’t serve you. So take some time to really be intentional about what you are taking and what you are parting with.
Create an inventory list.
The last thing you want to do is rack your brain when your belonging arrive at your new home to try and figure out if anything got lost in the move. That is why creating an inventory list prior to packing and moving should be at the top of your list. It doesn’t matter if you use your phone or an old fashioned pen and paper, this list will give you peace of mind during a stressful time and ensure all your items are accounted for.
Properly label moving boxes with your info.
It is common during a long distance move for your boxes to be transported on a truck with other families belongings. To help ensure boxes don’t get mixed up, be sure to clearly label *each* box with your name (and even phone number) so things can easily be sorted in the event items get mixed up.

In last Sunday’s blog post we talked about some different questions to ask before you hire on a moving company to assist you and your family on moving day. Staying on that same topic, today we are going to be discussing a few tips and tricks to help make your moving day a little less stressful. Because let’s face it, no matter how organized you are or how many hands you have helping, moving day is bound to be met with a little anxiety, hassle and stress. And with over forty million American’s moving each year (according to the U.S. Census Bureau), we know this blog post can be useful to many people around the county.
We understand how exciting it can be once your house sells and the closing documents on your new one are signed, sealed and delivered. We also understand how the excitement of moving, paired with the closing of one chapter and the beginning of the next, can easily be overshadowed by the stress, anxiety and annoyance that comes with moving day. And for these reasons, many homeowners choose to hire on a moving company so they can do all the heavy lifting for them, and it also allows the homeowner to keep a closer eye on the organization and schedule of the day. And since these companies literally do this all the time, movers are typically faster, more efficient and usually stronger than the average person, which is why what would normally take you and your family a span of several days to move, they can do within one day’s time. Is it worth the money? We absolutely think so!
