10 Tips to Get Your House Ready for Moving

So you are relocating to Tampa.

After 20 years in the military and relocating seven times and one of those times was relocating to Tampa from Germany. Or in the Army we called them Permanent Change of Stations (PCS) which were from cross country to cross continent moves, we’re firm believers in ensuring that your house is ready for moving ahead of time—whether it’s a self-move or you’re hiring someone to do it all. We don’t know about you, but when we don’t have a plan, and the things around us are disorganized, our life feels a little out of control. And when you’re dealing with the stress of a move, the last thing you want is to feel out of control. Besides that, in most cases, the more stuff you move, the more your move costs. That could mean preparing your house is a money saver too. Maybe it sounds intimidating, but really, if you do it right, it doesn’t have to monopolize all your time.
