May is National Moving Month! We’ve teamed up with Cindy Bennett of Maison Real Estate Boutique to bring you Moving May - a blog series dedicated to getting ready to move. This is the first in a series of four posts that will give you tips on everything from preparing to move to getting settled in your new home.

So the moment has come, and you’re ready to move! If you have a home to sell first, getting that organized is the very first step. Hopefully, if you’ve followed some of the guidance in our first Moving Month post, you don’t have a HUGE task ahead of you. The “get ready to sell” info changes slightly based on whether you are staying in the home or moving out and having it staged to sell.

The movers are gone, and you’re surrounded by boxes. Overwhelmed? Now what?
