Moving? Things to Consider Before Packing Begins

Most of us at some point in our lives have relocated. Whether it was moving to a new house with our family as a child or packing up and heading across state for college, we all can appreciate how much effort goes into the prepping, planning and packing. Wonderful, new beginnings await us when we move! Here are some handy tips to relieve some of the stress of moving, helping you enjoy the process and this exciting time instead.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”5110″ img_size=”large”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1535992121786{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]

Know you’re moving? Organize all of the paperwork

It’s important to keep all paperwork in the same spot so you don’t spend time looking for it when a question about the move surfaces. Did you hire movers? Have their information on hand. Is your new house a rental? Make sure you have contact information in case something goes awry upon arrival and you can’t access your new apartment or home. By keeping all moving documents in one spot, you’ll not only avoid the stress of not being able to find something in a jiffy but also enjoy a more efficient move from start to finish.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”5111″ img_size=”large”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1535992384000{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]

To Do Lists are Key!

As with any big event, keeping a list of “to-do’s” is crucial. You wouldn’t plan your daughter’s engagement party with no planning, invitees, or reservations, would you? With a move, it’s also important to keep track of the steps involved throughout the process. In many cases, it’s simply a good idea to keep a running list of things you may need to remember at a later time. This list can hold important numbers, due dates and more. It’s just one more way to stay organized during a very busy but exciting time.

Take Pictures

You may be feeling sentimental as the move approaches, but this tip has a different motive in mind. Photos come in handy for many reasons. By taking pictures of your knick- knacks before and during the move, your life will be easier once you make it to the new place and you’re trying to unpack and decorate. Know what else? Taking photos of electronic wires and connectors will help you when you’re trying to hook up the TV at the new home just in time to watch the big game! Also, if items get damaged in the move, you’ll be able to let the movers know their condition prior to the move…with the proof of a photo.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”5114″ img_size=”large”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1535992513426{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]

Don’t pack items you won’t be needing anymore.

I’ve written about decluttering when trying to sell your home, but it’s important to also not spend the time and the effort to pack items you won’t be using in your new home. Moving is the perfect time to declutter! If you are no longer using that cabinet and it’s been in your basement’s storage room, try to donate or sell it. You can also ask yourself, “where will I need this item in the new place”? If you don’t have an answer to that question, it’s likely time to part ways with it.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”4237″ img_size=”large”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1535992777512{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]The internet is filled with practical (and sometimes off-the-wall!) packing tips to prepare you for your next big move. A little preparation and forethought will go a long way, starting off life’s next phase in the right way.

Market Watch TREB Reports December 2017

GTA REALTORS® Release December/Annual Stats
TORONTO, ONTARIO, January 4, 2018 – Toronto Real Estate Board President Tim Syrianos
announced that Greater Toronto Area REALTORS® reported 92,394 sales through TREB’s MLS®
System in 2017. This total was down 18.3 per cent compared to the record set in 2016.
Record sales in Q1 were followed by a decline in Q2 and Q3 after the Ontario Fair Housing Plan (FHP) was announced. The pace of sales picked up in Q4, as the impact of the FHP started to wane, and some buyers arguably brought forward their home purchase in response to the new OSFI stress test guidelines effective January 1, 2018.

Residential Lease Checklist

Residential Lease Checklist
I help individuals and families find the right homes to Buy, Rent to Own, or Rent. Once we agree to work together it is important that we are efficient and organized. This is why I follow a RENTAL PROCESS (Residential Lease Checklist) and ask that all of my Rental Clients do so as well. These steps will help ensure we are ready to submit a complete application as soon as we find the right property for you.
