So the big moment has arrived. After meeting your client, searching for their ideal property, and finally finding it, it's time for them to relocate. Moving can be stressful and full of glitches, as everyone knows. While assisting clients with their moves isn't exactly part of your job description, offering exceptional service is. You may assure a great shopping experience by giving relocation suggestions. With that in mind, here are six suggestions for you to offer to your clients:

1. Begin Planning Six Weeks In Advance

Much of the stress associated with moving occurs at the last minute when the deadline approaches and your clients have more work than they anticipated. It's best to have a plan in place to avoid this hysteria. HireAHelper's Moving Checklist is an excellent resource that begins six weeks before the move-in date.

2. Downsizing Makes Relocation Less Expensive And Easy

Next, get rid of the old! Moving provides consumers with the ideal opportunity to sift through their belongings and get rid of items they no longer require. The more excess they can get rid of, the easier it will be to pack, move, unload, and organize a new area. It will also save you money on moving expenses! Items in good condition can be donated to organizations such as the Salvation Army or sold at a yard sale.

3. Use Color Coding To Unpack

When your client is packing their stuff, it is helpful if they consider the unpacking phase and group goods that will be used in the same space together. After packing, they should label the boxes with the contents and destination. Color coding boxes using colored Sharpies can also help. Assign a color to each room and develop a key so that boxes may be readily transported to the correct rooms. These procedures make it easier for your client to unpack and allow others to assist the person in charge without constantly asking, "Where does this go?"

4. Think About Hiring A Professional

Now for the age-old question: "Should I hire professional movers?" Hiring expert movers can literally take the stress off your client's back. It not only saves time and reduces stress, but it can also help ensure that the objects are transferred without harm or injury.

Some people, however, choose to rent a moving truck and relocate themselves, while others prefer to move using their own vehicle or that of a friend or family member.

The best solution for your customer will be determined by the magnitude of their move, the distance of the transfer, their available resources, and their budget. You can assist them in understanding the benefits and drawbacks of each option so they can make an informed selection.

5. Inform Utility Companies Of The Relocation

Some tasks might easily fall through the cracks amid the chaos of moving. Your clients, on the other hand, do not want to overpay for their bills. When they move into their new home, they will want to have all of their services set up.

One of the best moving recommendations is to suggest that clients call their utility company around a month in advance. Service providers providing cable, internet, home phone lines, water, electricity, and gas are all common.

6. Prepare For Your First Night In Your New House

The final step is to prepare your client for their first night in their new home. It is a significant milestone, and we all want our clients to get off to a good start. This is your chance to shine and get those desired references. Here are some moving-in advice to share:

First and foremost, your customer will want to collapse in their bed after a hard day of moving and unpacking. Nothing is worse than having to sift through boxes to find bedding and build the beds at that point. Make it a point to advise your clients to make sure the bedding is clean, unloaded first, and assembled early in the day.

Next, it's a good idea to pack a bag with everything they'll need for the first night, such as shampoo, soap, toiletries, a shower curtain, toilet paper, towels, clothing, and so on. It's similar to packing for a vacation. Again, this will avoid the frustration of sifting through boxes.

Finally, urge clients to keep a delicious breakfast on hand. Waking up and enjoying a good supper is an excellent approach to begin creating new memories in the home! "When I sell a furnished property, I always stock up the fridge so my clients feel at home right away," says Karen Bloemhoff, a real estate broker at Cedral Caribe REALTORS. "I'll also order them a pizza on move-in night to alleviate any concerns about preparing dinner," she says. During a move, even tiny actions can make a tremendous difference.

Sharing Moving Advice With Your Clients Always Results In Long-Term Connections

A real estate transaction may appear to end when the papers are signed and the keys are handed over, yet the relationship can continue. Sharing recommendations like these with your clients can assist to create a great overall experience for them, and happy clients are always willing to recommend their agents to friends and family. So, apply these tips to improve your clients' moving experience and increase your business!
