Develop a Marketing 
Strategy
When visiting your property, the goal is to strengthen a potential buyer’s ability to envision your house as their own. In fact, 81% of buyers say property staging makes it easier to visualize the property as their future home.1 This can be as simple as rearranging furniture and making a few decor adjustments to highlight your property’s best features and prompt potential purchasers to make an offer.

MOVING DAY This is the day when your moving strategy pays off and your focus can be on saying goodbyes and looking forward to what’s next.

Packing Tips
13
Separate your valuables and important documents, and keep them with you during the move. Prepare a ‘Start-up Kit’ of items and box those up to take with you as well. This way 
if your belongings arrive late, or you are delayed in unpacking, you will have what 
you need immediately on hand. Label boxes by items and room to make unpacking an easier process.
Moving Checklist
FINAL PREPARATIONS If you’ve followed the steps above, you should have just a few remaining tasks like minor patch and paint jobs, emptying the pantry and cleaning, alongside packing up final items.
PACK Purchase your moving supplies including boxes, moving labels, bubble wrap etc. and begin packing items that won’t be needed between now and your move date. These include things like decorations, photos and off season clothing. Then, schedule how and when to pack remaining items based on room or another category that will make the unpacking process easier.
DECLUTTER AND DONATE Before you begin packing up boxes, take inventory of your furniture and other belongings to decide what to keep and what to purge. If items are not worth the effort of packing, moving and unpacking, consider donating, selling or discarding them.
