Whether you are planning an out-of-state move, or even moving across town, the costs associated with moving your possessions from one location to another can be a significant burden, especially given today’s economy. If you are planning on moving during the busy summer season, the following tips from Two Men and a Truck will help you save both time and money.
1. Pack all items into boxes and tape all boxes closed with packing tape. Do not use duct, Scotch or masking tapes.
2. Label all boxes by room and contents to save time when movers unload them from the truck into your new home.
3. To reduce load time, as you pack your boxes, take them to the garage or to a common area on the main floor.
4. Disassemble and reassemble items such as beds, cribs, entertainment units, etc., yourself.
5. Make sure all electronics are disconnected and wires are removed or taped tightly to the item.
6. Be prepared for the movers. Packing or disassembling items while the movers are present will increase load time and costs.
7. Move all miscellaneous unboxed items such as lamps, pictures, toys, yard tools, etc., yourself.
8. Disconnect washers/dryers/refrigerators and other large appliances to save time.
9. Reserve ample parking for the moving trucks, as long walks add to the load and unload time.
10. Make sure there is a clear walkway for the movers to get to and from the truck.
11. Be at the new location on the day of the move so movers know where to place furniture and other items.

Top 5 Ways to A Less Stressful Move
Moving into your brand new home is one of the happiest, most exciting moments of your life. Unfortunately, it is typically one of life’s most stressful events. The perils and pitfalls of packing up your possessions and safely moving them to another location — whether around the corner or across state lines — can turn this momentous occasion into a nightmare.
As a Member of the Top 5 in Real Estate Network®, I have helped many clients over the years not just find the home of their dreams, but smoothly move into it as well. There are several important steps to take to ensure a successful move, such as these suggestions from Mayflower Transit:
1.Have the right supplies – Gather up cartons, bubble wrap, packing tape and newspapers before you pack your first box. That includes marking pens, so you can label each box with its contents and intended location in your new home.
2.Get a head start – The sooner you begin, the more stress-free you will be. Aim to fill and mark at least two or three boxes each day. While you are packing is the best time to de-clutter. Throw out or give away items you will likely not want in your new home.
3.Pack your own valuables – As you pack, set aside valuables or irreplaceable items such as jewelry, heirlooms or pieces of artwork that you’d feel more comfortable moving yourself. This should include important paperwork and photos.
4.Notify important contacts – Make a list of utilities at both locations that need to be notified of your moving date. Check off each as you make arrangements for shut-off and turn-on dates. List and contact creditors, Internet providers, and anyone else who will need your new address, including magazine and book or movie subscriptions. Don’t forget to file your change of address with the post office at least a week before you move.
5.Prescriptions and pets – Be sure you have enough prescription medications to see you through your moving period – and be sure to transfer existing prescriptions to a pharmacy in your new area. If you have pets, make plans well ahead of time as to where to keep them during the move – and how you’ll transport them to your new home.
Simple steps like the above may seem like common sense, but in the throes of such a major life experience, it’s the details that often get overlooked and cause the most problems. Please e-mail me for more moving strategies and feel free to forward this information to friends and family who may also be making the big move.

What You Need to Look for in a Real Estate Professional
If selling your home is anywhere on the horizon, there are many things your are probably already considering, among them whether using the help of a real estate professional will net you the greatest return on your investment. Some homeowners choose to go it alone when it comes time to sell their home. However, according to a recent survey conducted by the Multiple Listing Service MRIS, the vast majority of consumers say working with a real estate professional is the only way to go … especially in today’s market.
In this landmark study examining the home-buying and -selling preferences of consumers in the Mid-Atlantic region, 95% reported that working with a real estate professional is just as important, if not more important, than it was just a few years ago. As a Member of the Top 5 in Real Estate Network®, I know for a fact that this rings true for all areas across the country.
As the MRIS survey reveals, today’s consumers recognize this is not the time to complete a real estate transaction on their own, and are placing a stronger emphasis on an agent’s professional skills. As such, the following criteria were ranked as the most critical factors in choosing a real estate agent (in order of importance):
•Trustworthiness
•Experience
•Willingness to look out for a client’s interest
•Expertise in negotiating contracts
•Responsiveness
•Familiarity with contracts
•Knowledge of the local community
The above requirements are evidence that consumers are seeking more than simple guidance … they are looking for an expert they can trust to execute a step-by-step process throughout the entire transaction. While most consumers rely on the Internet as the first step in the home-buying and -selling process, a professional, experienced real estate agent — such as a member of the Top 5 Network — is critical in helping consumers filter through the copious amounts of information available online in order to make the optimal real estate decision for their specific situation and location.
If you would like more information regarding what to look for in a real estate agent, and specific questions you should ask an agent during an interview, please e-mail me. I encourage you to also forward this email to anyone in your social network who may be considering a real estate transaction.
7 Moving Mistakes that Can Cost You
Keeping your household organized is a challenge in the best of circumstances, let alone when you’re in the midst of dealing with the disruption of moving.
As a member of the Top 5 in Real Estate Network®, I always take the extra steps necessary to help my clients experience a stress-free, successful move. Throughout my years in the real estate business, I’ve witnessed many common mistakes that people make during the course of a move.
Here are seven to avoid:
- Packing everything. Prior to moving, it’s important to take a look around and decide what you don’t want to keep. This will cut down on costs by not having to transfer unnecessary items.
- Sending it all to storage. Storage is usually expensive and just delays the inevitable. Eventually, what you store will need to be moved into your home, so try and bring it all the first time.
- Shopping on the Internet for move quotes without dealing with a live person. This is one instance where dealing with a live person is necessary. You need to be able to ask specific questions and have your estimate explained to you line by line so that you can see where costs can be cut.
- Not looking into what your homeowners’ insurance covers. For a nominal cost, these types of insurance policies may cover your goods in transit.
- Not taking photographs of items before disassembling them for the move. You will be unable to process an insurance claim if you don’t have proof of what the item looked like before you packed it.
- Overlooking the box count. If you are paying for boxes by the piece, keep track as things are being packed as each box has a different price attached to it. You don’t want to end up with 300 boxes when you only needed 200. Also, if the moving company sees that you’re keeping track, movers will be less inclined to hit you up for additional costs when the job is done.
- Forgetting to take inventory. If you don’t create an inventory, there’s no fool-proof way to know if you’ve left something behind or if it somehow got lost in transit.
Work closely with your real estate professional to help avoid these and other common pitfalls of moving. You can also e-mail me for more information. Please share these moving mistakes with friends and family, too, so that the journey to their new home is a happy one!
Mastering the Process — Tips for Selling, Buying and Moving
Planning for your home sale:
*Your home is probably the most valuable asset you will ever own. Consider this when judging how much time and attention to invest in selling it and buying another.
*Look at your home from the street; first impressions are most important.
*Give your home “curb appeal”
*Don’t overlook signs of wear and tear that you have grown so used to you hardly notice, like:
-Overgrown shrubbery that can hide the “face” of your house
-Paint that has scuff marks, is chipped or faded
-Clutter of any kind – less is more!
Budget and complete “deferred maintenance” repairs:
*Set yourself a budget to take care of deferred maintenance, both inside and out.
*Don’t assume it’s necessary to do the whole house over!
*View these projects through “buyer’s eyes.” Get repairs made in priority order, but get them made now.
*Buyer’s agents know what matters most to buyers in today’s market. Expect them to point out these things, or lack of them, to prospective buyers of your home.
Get your home “market ready”:
*Get rid of clutter inside – throw it out, give it to charity, sell it or store it. Clean everything so it sparkles. Keep making needed repairs.
*Don’t assume that just because you love your taste in decorating that everyone else will. Use neutral colors that enable buyers to imagine what their furnishings would look like in your home.
*Decide which items in your home will stay and which you will take with you. “Fixtures,” are those things which are built in or affixed to the walls, like dishwashers and light fixtures, usually stay, unless specifically excluded (like a dining room chandelier). Appliances such as refrigerators, washers and dryers need to be spelled out as staying or leaving. The same goes for window treatments. It is best to decide and specify up front what stays and what goes.
Find the right Realtor:
*Check out experience and credentials
*Expect the process to be interactive—you are in partnership with your Realtor to achieve the best possible results. Neither of you can do this alone.
*Don’t sign a listing agreement with a relative, neighbor or friend as a favor to them, or because you’ve been pressured into it.
*Ask a lot of questions and expect your agent to be a resource for answers to any questions that come to mind. You are entitled to know what’s happening at each step of the process, and to expect feedback through your Realtor from other agents and from prospective buyers who visit your house.
*Pricing your home right FROM THE BEGINNING can make a tremendous difference in how many showings, and how many offers, you get.
*Don’t assume that if you make a few mistakes at this stage they can always be corrected later. Overpricing, or putting a home on the market before it is ready, usually results in the seller receiving less than if the suggestions above had been followed.
*As soon as it goes on the market, make sure your home gets maximum exposure to the market and to other real estate agents.
*Get yourself, your kids, and your cat or dog out of the house each and every time it is shown. Buyers need to visualize their lifestyle in your home, not yours.
Get Pre-Approved for Your Mortgage:
*When you decide to start shopping, you won’t be able to make an offer on a home you love without a pre-approval (If you want to know why, just give me a call and I’ll give you the reasons). A lender can pre-approve you for the maximum amount you could borrow – and if you decide to borrow less, that’s your decision.
*Ask lots of questions and be sure to read the fine print.
*Check into whether you can open a home equity line of credit too, so you’ll have it should you ever need it.
*Don’t underestimate the cost of “duplicate carry” – the cost of owning the new home without having completed the sale of your former home. In most markets, it’s preferable to start the sale process before you seriously look to buy.
Begin Your New Home Search:
*Gather enough information about potential new communities so that you know which ones are right for you.
*If you have children, keep in mind that school is your child’s career, and it’s often best to let your school choice influence your community choice, rather than the reverse.
*If your current home hasn’t sold yet, now is the time to re-examine your marketing strategy and implement new, more aggressive techniques to get your current home sold.
*Insurance for title to your new home, for your new home itself, for your household goods in transit, and for your furniture, furnishings, clothes and valuables all need to be planned for when you move.
*List all your property, item by item, then photograph each, as well as your current home itself, to create an inventory. Photograph your new home and any additional items you acquire as soon as you get settled in. Keep the inventory in a safe place, separate from your home, in case you need it for insurance purposes.
*Now is also a good time to make a list of all your bank and stock brokerage accounts, doctors, dentists, lawyers, schools, etc. Find out the requirements each has for transferring records.
Negotiating:
*Love it or hate it, negotiating is an integral and necessary part of the selling and buying process.
*It helps to quantify the items you are negotiating. Sometimes people get upset about something only to learn that its dollar amount is not significant in the overall transaction.
*Don’t assume that because something is said rather than written you won’t have to live with it.
*Prioritize what you want most in your new home. Some buyers find preparing a spreadsheet ranking their preferences to be helpful.
*Ask which items in your new home are included in the sale and which are not. Not only is it important information to have, but also the cost of replacing certain items may be an important part of your negotiation.
*Be sure to memorialize agreement on anything in writing – to be incorporated later into the Purchase Contract.
*If possible, try to order new appliances and furniture about 6- 8 weeks before your scheduled move into your new home, to be sure everything can be delivered by the time you move in.
Taxes:
*Certain expenses related to selling a home are tax deductible, and certain expenses of buying a home add to the tax basis of that home and can reduce your capital gain when you ultimately sell it. Therefore, it is important to review what these items are with a tax professional up front so that you create and maintain the records you will need later on.
Moving:
*Just about anyone with a truck and some muscles can get into the moving business, so be sure to check credentials and reputation in advance, not just price.
*Don’t assume that an estimate is binding unless it specifically says so.
*Have everything sorted and labeled before the cost estimator arrives at your door.
*Be sure to find out if the van line will guarantee the dates of pick-up and delivery of your goods.
*Be sure to insure your goods in transit. Full cost replacement coverage gets you closest to what you’d need to spend to replace lost or destroyed goods.
*You may own special items that you want appraised, to have a record of their value in the event of damage or loss during your move — like oriental carpets, heirloom furniture or lamps and the like.
*Keep names and phone numbers separate and with you for emergencies that could occur during your move or soon after your arrival.
*In order to be able to get settled as quickly as possible, have your furniture, drapes, linens, etc. cleaned, fresh and ready for placement before you move.
*Check what the requirements are for home and auto insurance, utilities and banks in your new location.
*Be sure not to pack items you might need between now and the time you unpack at your new home. Pack them separately and transport them in your own car. Also hand carry medical and dental records.
*Use lots of well constructed cardboard boxes to pack like items – linens with linens, sweaters with sweaters, etc. Use masking tape to label each bag. Half a bar of sweet smelling soap in each bag will help your things smell fresh at destination.
*Re-confirm pick-up and delivery dates with your mover about 2 weeks before your scheduled move. Also arrange disconnection of utilities and reconnection at your destination.
*Make special packing and shipping arrangements for costly or breakable items like chandeliers, pianos, billiard tables and antiques. Special arrangements are also needed for house plants, cars, boats or trailers. Pets need special arrangements, too, preferably by a pet transport specialist, unless they will be coming along in your car.
*Send out change of address emails or cards, and notify the post office when and where to start forwarding mail.
*Clearly mark anything that is not to be moved.
*Have your cars serviced before you move – just one more thing not to have to worry about later.
*If your mover is charging you based on weight, be there when the moving truck is weighed with your goods on it.
*Check on the items you have kept aside to carry personally on your move – items of great value that are small enough to carry yourself, important documents and information, all of your and your family’s computers, and what you, your family and your pets need to stay comfortable during the move.
