#1 Always Declutter First
Our clients who are happiest after a move, “right-size” their belongings. We assist with decluttering expired pantry items, unused clothes, and unneeded possessions. Start small with 10-minute sessions and ask if you've used an item in the past year. Donate, sell on FB Marketplace, or use Buy Nothing groups. We can also host estate sales to simplify the process.
#2 Identify Which Items Hold ValuePeople often think that their dining room furniture and china cabinets will be worth what they paid but often these items have depreciated over time. The one thing that sells well is MCM furniture and niche art and jewelry. Our team can ensure clients have all the information and options necessary to achieve the best results when selling their treasures.
#3 Let the Experts Handle Moving
Book your moving company at least a month ahead for a smooth experience. Professional organizers and movers save time and stress by packing efficiently, often in one session. They can also handle donations. Need staging? Mic’s Moving offers nearby storage in North Bethesda, letting you showcase your home while keeping your belongings safe.
#4 Don’t Wait on Unpacking
Clutter can increase stress and anxiety, as the brain thrives in order to ease mental load. Unpacked boxes make it hard to feel calm in your new home. Roaming Darling’s team specializes in unpacking and organizing, helping you settle in smoothly and enjoy your space from day one.
Our clients who are happiest after a move, always put in a lot of effort to “right-size” their contents. Getting rid of expired pantry items, clothes that no longer fit, and items that no longer serve you is something that we assist our clients with.
