đŠ TUESDAY TIDBIT â TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE!
When selling a home, timing can make all the differenceâespecially when you have years of belongings to sort through and a move ahead of you!
We recently started a total move project for clients who received a contract on their home. What does a total move involve?
âïž Decluttering and downsizing
âïž Packing belongings
âïž Coordinating donations and trash removal
âïž Managing move-day details
âïž Unpacking and helping clients settle into their new home
Hereâs the challenge: Once a contract is signed, buyers may request settlement in just two or three weeks. That might sound like enough time, but those weeks can disappear quickly while homeowners obtain quotes, choose a packing service, arrange movers, and make decisions about decades of accumulated belongings.
For older adults or anyone with physical limitations, trying to accomplish all this alone can be overwhelming.
Our current project is a perfect example. We originally planned to be packing, but the home needed decluttering and downsizing first. With other client commitments already scheduled, we have a tight timeline to complete the preparation, packing, move coordination, and unpacking. Weâll work hard to make it happen because thatâs what Brunswick Organizing Solutions doesâwe help make challenging moves manageable!
What's the takeaway?
đĄ For homeowners: If youâre considering selling, contact professional organizers and movers when you list your homeânot after you sign a contract. If possible, begin decluttering and downsizing early.
đĄ For real estate agents: Remind your clients that the time between signing a contract and settlement can be surprisingly short. Encourage them to plan ahead.
A decluttered home can also look more spacious and appealing to potential buyers!
At Brunswick Organizing Solutions, we can help you sort, downsize, pack, coordinate your move, and unpack in your new home. We understand that every situation is different, and weâll work with you to make the process as smooth as possible.
