5 Areas of Your Home to Deep Clean Before You Sell
You know that it's important to make a great first impression on potential buyers, so you're probably already sorting through knick-knacks and hiding them away to clear the clutter. However, there are five places that many homeowners check carefully before making a decision.
All locations that might indicate whether or not the house has been carefully maintained. It may seem a bit obvious, but you want to go over these locations with a careful eye to detail.
1. Laundry Room
Let's face it, spaces that are dedicated to cleaning can tend to get pretty grimy. Laundry rooms can accumulate all types of debris, most of which your eye overlooks as a homeowner. A potential buyer is on the lookout for proof that the home is in good shape, so be sure to check for any water damage on the floor and loose pipes. Keep your detergent and cleaning materials packed safely away to help the space feel larger.
2. Bathtubs and Showers
Nothing says "grimy" like a tile shower that has some stains on the grout! Even bathtubs can be pretty icky around the edges. Take some extra time to clean these spaces, being extra sure to get rid of any soap residue. Also, ensure that your bathing items such as soaps and such are clean and neat and not scattered about.
3. Kitchen
A dirty kitchen is a big turn-off for most buyers, but even when you have your kitchen "surface clean" buyers may find some hidden corners of grunge. Look particularly under your kitchen sink and make sure your cupboards look neat. Keep in mind that they will likely open every cabinet and closet in your home!
4. Closets
Speaking of closets, are yours in good shape? Overstuffed closets — even large ones — can be a turn-off for home buyers. Look for ways to organize your items, perhaps packing your off-season clothing away in a storage unit for the time being.
5. Garage / Basement
All the de-cluttering in your home can take a toll on your garage and basement, turning them into a labyrinth of bags and boxes that can make the space feel much smaller than it is. Again, consider a short-term storage unit for items that need to leave your home but that you're not ready to get rid of forever. Don't forget the dark corners where spiders like to lurk in their webs!
Once you've got these five locations under control, you should be in great shape for your next home showing! Ready to start planning your move? True Friends Moving Company in Nashville is always there for you.

Timing is Everything: How to Maximize Your Move
Very few people actually look forward to moving, but there are definitely things that you can do to minimize the pain (and cost) of moving. Planning ahead can help you maximize your move. If you know the date and time in advance so you can make arrangements with a moving company or friends and family for assistance, you'll be one step closer to your new home.
Want our best tip? Start early in the day to keep your energy high and reduce stress to manageable levels.
Tip #1: Stick to Week Days
It might seem like it's easier to move on the weekend when it's more likely that friends and family members can help, but this strategy may end up costing you money. Moving companies are busier on the weekends, and you might be able to get a great deal if you're moving in the middle of the week.
While this may mean utilizing a moving company instead of your friends, True Friends Moving Company can help you make the move safely, even if you're going up and down stairs or moving heavy furniture.
Tip #2: Take Advantage of Mid-Month Savings
Just as moving in the middle of the week is optimal, moving in the middle of the month might ease some woes too. Stay away from major holidays to ensure that you have access to the supplies and service options that you'll need for your move.
Summer holidays such as Labor Day or the Fourth of July are especially big moving days due to the expected good weather and availability of helpers. Think about it logically: when are most leases starting or ending? The beginning of the month -- so avoid those dates at all costs!
Tip #3: Consider the Season
Determining which month of the year is the best for your move depends on a variety of factors. If you have children in school, it usually makes sense to wait until winter break or summer break -- which tend to be longer blocks of time to allow your young ones to get settled and for you to complete paperwork.
However, if you don't have to worry about school timing, you may find better rates during the very early spring or later in the year. The majority of moves occur between June and October, so skipping these months could potentially save you cash.

Packing Tips for Residential Moving
Packing is often the most time-consuming part of moving. To help you pack efficiently, we recommend decluttering your belongings first. This not only makes packing easier but also reduces moving costs. Use sturdy boxes and quality packing materials to protect your items. Label each box with its contents and the room it belongs to for easy unpacking. For fragile items, use bubble wrap and packing paper to prevent damage during transit. We also offer packing services if you would prefer to have us handle the packing for you.
Local Moving Checklist
A local move might seem simple, but it requires just as much planning as a long-distance move. Start by creating a timeline for your move, including tasks such as transferring utilities, updating your address, and scheduling your move with True Friends Moving Company. Pack an essentials box with items you'll need immediately upon arrival at your new home, like toiletries, a change of clothes, and important documents. Don't forget to reserve parking for the moving truck, if necessary.
Interstate Moving Regulations
When moving across state lines, it's important to be aware of interstate moving regulations. True Friends Moving Company is compliant with all federal and state regulations, ensuring a lawful and hassle-free move. Be sure to discuss any specific concerns with us, such as moving plants or certain types of household goods that may be subject to regulations.
Cost-Saving Strategies for Home Relocation
Moving can be expensive, but there are ways to save money. Consider moving during the off-peak season when rates are lower. Get rid of items you no longer need to reduce the weight of your shipment, which can lower the cost. Ask us about different service levels, such as partial packing or self-packing, to find an option that fits your budget.
How to Choose a Reliable Moving Company
Choosing the right moving company is crucial. Look for a company with a strong reputation, like True Friends Moving Company, which has a track record of satisfied customers. Check for proper licensing and insurance, and read reviews to gauge the quality of service. Don't hesitate to ask for references and proof of credentials.
Understanding Moving Insurance Options
Protecting your belongings during a move is essential. True Friends Moving Company offers various insurance options to give you peace of mind. From basic coverage to full-value protection, we can help you understand the differences and choose the best option for your needs.
Pre-Move Planning for Families
Moving with a family requires additional planning. Involve your children in the process to help them cope with the change. Create a moving calendar with important dates and tasks, and make sure to keep familiar items, like toys and blankets, easily accessible. Consider the timing of your move to minimize disruption to your children's school year.
Post-Move Essentials Checklist
After the move, there are still tasks to complete. Unpack your essentials box first to make the first night in your new home comfortable. Make sure all utilities are functioning, and inspect your belongings for any damage. Update your address with banks, schools, and other important institutions. Take the time to explore your new neighborhood and meet your neighbors.
At True Friends Moving Company, we are dedicated to providing you with a stress-free moving experience. Our team of professionals is here to assist you every step of the way, from pre-move planning to post-move settling in.
