6 tips to save your real estate clients from moving misery – Inman.com

by | Aug 31, 2017 | Features

Moving costs can add up quickly, especially for clients relocating far away or for those hiring movers. Rather than paying to move unwanted or unnecessary items, consider selling them. Clients tend to underestimate how much stuff they’ve accumulated until they start packing and reality sets in. Packing, moving, unpacking and organizing takes an enormous amount of time. Organizing a move-prep in this way keeps everything visible and within easy reach when it’s time to depart. Clients can also use this time to box up lesser used items for giveaway or sale.

Key Takeaways:

  • Moving costs can add up quickly, especially for clients relocating far away or for those hiring movers. Rather than paying to move unnecessary items consider selling them.
  • Holding an estate sale before packing purges their home of undesired items while saving them time before and after a move.
  • The weight of those excess items evaporates, stimulating a boost in energy and focus. For clients tackling their move, every bit of extra energy helps.

“Yard sales are a hassle. Holding a pre-move professional estate sale ensures your clients will save money without having to manage the sale themselves.”
