Moving is stressful under the best circumstances, but with the right plan, you can expect smooth sailing. Whether you're packing a household for a 50 or 500-mile move, these tips will help you be ready to go before closing day. Save money by thinning out unwanted belongings before you get a moving estimate. Sell valuables online, hold a garage sale, donate things to charity, or offer friends the items of their choice in exchange for help on moving day!
