Clean house before you move in.
Even before you make an offer on a new place, get ahead of the game by starting the most important process: "clean house." This critical first step will not only make your current digs easier to pack up, but it will put you miles ahead during move-in.Be strong and rid yourself of anywhere from 25%-50% of your old stuff: wobbly furniture in the attic, faulty appliances in the garage, questionable accessories you received as gifts. This is the perfect time to start over. Pare down your accumulated possessions to the minimal amount. Have a garage sale, auction it off on eBay or donate it to charity. You’ll be amazed at what you won’t miss.
