5 Secret Tips from Professional White Glove Movers
Summer is the perfect time for a fresh start, and what better way to start fresh than with a move to a new home? However, preparing for a move can be stressful, especially if you have high-end, valuable items that require extra care and attention. As a white glove moving service headquartered in Dallas, with hubs in Houston, Palm Beach, Los Angeles, and Chicago, we have helped countless homeowners enjoy a seamless move. Here are a few tips to help you prepare for your move this summer:
Start early - Don't wait until the last minute to start preparing for your move. Give yourself plenty of time to sort through your belongings and make any necessary arrangements.
Declutter - Moving is the perfect opportunity to declutter and get rid of items you no longer need or use. This will make packing and unpacking easier, and you'll have less to transport.
Prepare for the new destination - There’s so much to do to prepare for moving. After arranging the obvious categories such as schools for your children and other key aspects, we love looking for lifestyle proximity. Where is your new coffee shop? What grocery store will be your new market? Where is the nearest gym or fitness club? Mapping out those key lifestyle essentials will help you feel “at home” sooner.
Organize before the move - This one is less obvious, but extremely helpful. Professional movers will carefully pack up rooms individually. But what if some of your holiday items are in your living room, while the rest are in your attic? Or your kitchen cabinet has things which are normally in the garage? What about the sports equipment like dumbells and yoga mats which have found their way into the guest room and your den? When possible, take time to group those items together in one location to ensure your move-in process is as organized as possible. Think about aggregating them so that when you UNPACK they are all together in one logical location.
