Weeks Before the Move
Starting early gives you room to sort thoughtfully instead of rushing decisions at the last minute.
- Go room by room and flag items you no longer use or need
- Separate items into keep, donate, sell, and remove piles
- Check storage areas like closets, garages, and attics
- Start researching donation drop-off options or pickup services
Sorting Furniture and Large Items
Furniture is often the biggest decision point in a move, since large items are expensive to transport.
- Decide which furniture is worth moving versus replacing at your new home
- Set aside bulky items that won't fit your new space
- Note any furniture that needs disassembly before the move
Handling What Doesn't Make the Cut
Once you know what's not coming with you, plan how it will leave your home.
- Group all remove-pile items in one area for easy assessment
- Take photos of the pile for a quote before move day
- Schedule removal ahead of your moving truck or crew arrival
The Week of the Move
In the final stretch, focus on clearing space so packing and loading go smoothly.
- Do a final walkthrough of each room for anything missed
- Confirm your removal appointment date aligns with your moving timeline
- Make sure pathways are clear for both movers and removal crews
