Big move looming on the calendar? Use these tips to keep it easy-peasy. ⁣
⁣
Start early. Even if your move is weeks away, pack up the nooks and crannies you don’t “live in” day-to-day.⁣
Toss and donate. Don't waste time, energy (and moving boxes!) on clothes and other items you never use or no longer need. Throw out the junk and donate or rehome gently used items.⁣
Buy moving supplies. There’s nothing more frustrating than trying to pack without the right supplies. Spread the word to friends and family that you need boxes, and purchase lots of heavy-duty packing tape, a dispenser to go with, and plenty of bubble wrap.⁣
Hire the right people. Ask co-workers or neighbors for moving company referrals. Planning a DIY move? Invite your able-bodied friends over to help with furniture and bulky items. Thank them afterward with a spread from your fave local takeout spot.⁣
⁣
Moving doesn’t have to be overwhelming so long as you take it one step at a time. If you’d like a detailed step-by-step Moving Checklist for yourself or a friend, DM my email, and I'll send it over.⁣

What if my home doesn't sell?!

Don't panic! In real estate, we occasionally come across an expired listing. This just means the home did not sell in the amount of time that was agreed upon in the contract between the listing agent and the owner.

Sometimes, the owner will renew the contract with that agent - other times, they'll hire someone else.

These are some reasons why a listing expired:
- Bad listing photos
- Not priced properly
- Not in shown condition
- Poor marketing

Fortunately, these are all an easy fix. If you or someone you know is having trouble getting a home sold, give me a call! I'd love to help you determine what the problem is.
