Tips from an expert: Moving During the Holiday Season


With Thanksgiving come and gone, we are all full into the holiday season. No matter what you celebrate, this time of the year can end of being busy and hectic (as well as full of joy and laughter!). The thought of moving during the holiday season can feel like a terrible burden. But if handled correctly, moving at this time of the year can be a very rewarding and positive experience.

Here are a few tips to consider if you’re planning a move during the holiday season:

  • Your schedule is typically lighter. Many families plan to take some time off during the last week of December. And, if not, work in many industries slows down because others are out of the office. Use this time to your advantage!

  • Help is in town. Let’s all admit it – we’re not above asking friends and family for help! And what could be better that putting all of your relatives to work while they’re in town visiting? It could also be a great way to reminisce over family treasures or tell stories as you sort through your belongings.

  • Don’t skip the decorations. If you find that you must move right in the middle of the holidays, it can be important to keep some decorations up to help maintain the feeling of a festive season, especially if you have children living in your home. You may not want to host a large gathering, but having a cozy space dedicated to the holiday spirit can keep your packing from feeling like damper on holiday fun.

  • Start early. If a family move is around the corner and you can plan for it, start by packing up the items that you definitely aren’t going to need. Items such as summer clothes, bikes, and sports equipment can be packed up and sealed weeks—if not months—in advance of your moving day. This can keep the process moving quickly and smoothly!

I have moved many times myself, and I know the toll that it can take on a family! But don’t worry—if you have to move during the holidays, I can help you through the process. It might even be a great time to sell your home with me—I can help you get the best value for your home, and what is a better gift than that??

So keep those decorations up and don’t fear a holiday move. With some advanced preparation and the right agent by your side, moving during the holidays can be a great way to celebrate the end of one year and a happy beginning to 2016!
