Easy Moves: The What, When, Who and How Much of Moving in Omaha!

Last year, you got to know me through my love of Acreages in and around Omaha. This year I'd like to offer up some of the things I've learned after being in Real Estate in Omaha, NE for over 25 years! Hopefully, what I share over the next several months will make your life a little easier if you will be moving in 2014.

When you're thinking about the what, when, who and how much of moving, it's been my experience that the whole moving process takes about 90 to 120 days from the date that the contract gets accepted to the day you exchange your keys. That means that after you decide the where of your new home, you have about 3 months to decide what you will move, when you will move it, who will help you and how much it is going to cost.

The first few weeks you'll need to focus on what you will be moving.  It's a great time to clean out the attic, basement and closets. Also, what furniture will you need in your new home? Will everything fit? I found this video by the author of the Clutter Diet that has some pretty good advise.

If you've got some pieces that won't fit or maybe you're just tired of dusting, you can have a garage sale (I've got some metal signs you can use) or you can give me a call. I have a friend, Anthony Yates, that has a ministry of taking gently used stuff that I don't need to someone that does. He picks it up for free and puts a smile on someones face when he delivers it for free.

If you have some left over paints or other liquids that you won't be moving and can't throw away, call UnderTheSink to arrange a time to drop them off.

I have more stuff to share about the what, when, who and how much of moving in Omaha but my assistant is bugging me to make my sales calls so it will have to wait. But if you are sitting on the edge of your seat and can't wait to hear more about the what, when, who and how much of moving, you call me.  If I'm on my phone, she'll think I am making my calls.
