Moving to Reno, NV? 4 Tips for a Smooth Move

1. Packing. Don’t underestimate the amount of packing that needs to be done. You’re going to want a lot of boxes and packing materials for your items. Make sure to label your boxes to save you time as you’re looking for items you immediately need when unpacking. For labeling tips, read here.
2. Planning and organizing . Nothing beats proper planning to ensure your move goes smoothly. When moving, plan which items should be packed first and last. Pack your essentials and daily used items last. Also, include hiring moving trucks and how long it will take to pack your things. Be thorough as you plan to make moving day go as well as possible. Also, planning well will make it easier to overcome obstacles as they arise during the move.
3. Put your essentials in a carry-on bag . You don’t want to scramble and unpack every box finding the item you need. Instead, bag all your essential items such as toothbrushes, soap, clean sheets and even trash bags. Doing so makes it easier to take what you need without the mess of going through every box.
4. While packing, take the opportunity to declutter your things . Anything that you no longer use, pack it in a box for donation. You don’t want to move items with you that will likely end up as clutter in your new home. As you sort through your things, you may find there are items you want to keep but don’t want to move. These can be stored in a storage unit for safe keeping. So, as you pack sort the items you want to keep in your home or at storage and things you can donate or that need to be put into the trash.
