Moving fees, like almost everything else these days, can be expensive, not to mention time-consuming, so investing the effort upfront to be smart and intentional about the items that you take to your new home can save you big bucks! To do this, consider how you want to set up the new space before the actual move and take time to consider if and how your things will actually fit in your new home! That way you save the hassle of bringing furniture that you've paid to move into a space that cannot accommodate it. You'll end up having to get rid of any items that don't work in the new space or suit your actual needs in the new house, so thinking about this now can save yourself headaches later.

4. A Clean Start = A Truly Fresh Start

Piles of belongings, especially those stored in basements, closets or other damp, dark spaces for a time, can become breeding grounds for problems like mold and mildew, not to mention other unwelcome “guests”. This is certainly not something you'd want to bring to your new home, so ensure a clean move and a fresh start, by taking time to open and go through all of your belongings carefully to ensure that they are free of any unwanted surprises or tag-along pests.
