Home Buying - Close And Move On Same Day?
By Raynor James, Fri Dec 9th
Closing on a home is an undeniably stressful experience. Tryingto move on the same day you close just adds to the stress unlessyou prepare.
Get Moving
A very high percentage of people move on the day they completethe purchase of their new home. They've just come through anexperience that can be very tense, yet they pitch into anactivity that's very tiring and requires a gazillion decisionsto
be made. It would be helpful if the move could take place thenext day. Everyone in the family should be prepared for the timeline in advance.
Allot enough time for packing. Allow more time than you thinkyou'll need. Be sure each family member has a few specialpossessions with them and not among the things handled by themovers. Yup, Linus had his blanket and most of us have theequivalent.
The year I was fifteen, my family moved for the sixteenth time.My mother was very good at setting up a household in a newlocation with a minimum of fuss. She always carried a set ofsheets and blankets for each bed with her. (All containers weremarked with the name of the room they were destined for.)
The first order of business was to set up each family member'sbed and make it. It was reassuring to know your bed was readyfor you when you had exhausted yourself. The second place Motherfocused on was the kitchen. Getting that organized and ready tofunction was a high priority.
I highly recommend Mother's plan if you're moving. It will giveyou some feeling of order and that can mean a lot on a stressfulday. I've seen it successfully implemented many times.
That's about it. Recognize you're tackling a tough, big,exciting change. Discuss it with your family. Take your time.Have a plan. Keep your cool. You just purchased a home so behappy!
