Whether you are moving across Nashua NH, or out of NH you want a stress free move. Making a list and having a plan ahead of time will really help and keep you more organized during your moving process. Here are 10 things to remember when moving:

1. Throw away items that you don’t use anymore.

There is no need to bring useless items on your move to South Nashua NH. Either toss the items, give them away, sell the items, or donate the items to your local charity. You'll be helping fray costs for others or for yourself and in the long run it's not worth the extra hassle if you don't use the items anymore.

2. Decide if you are going to move alone, or if you will be hiring a mover.

If you choose to hire a mover be sure to interview a few different ones and find the best fit for you. Depending on the company, the movers and the cost will make a difference for you personally. Do they have a good reputation? Do they cost too much? Will they be on time? Check out their ratings and reviews online to know more about them. These are all questions you should be asking yourself.

3. If you plan to pack up your items on your own, start doing this ahead of time.

You don’t want to pack last minute and be in a time crunch that causes more stress. Ask for help from your family and friends if need be. If the movers have to pack for you there will be an additional cost added to your bill. Also make sure to label all your boxes so you are not searching endlessly for items that you might need after the move to your South Nashua home.

4. Begin using your food that’s been stored in your freezer or pantry.

The less you have to move with you to your new South Nashua home, the better. You can always buy more food after you’re settled in. If there is food you aren’t going to eat, or don't have time to make, donate it to your local food pantry or soup kitchen, it wont go unappreciated or wasted! It will save you time and potentially use items that may have gone unnoticed for a while.

5. Prepare to have your utilities shut off or transferred if they aren't a part of your monthly rent. 

Call your utility companies and give them enough notice so they can get it taken care of before your move. Don’t forget that some companies may have a fee to turn off utilities and transfer them to a different location. Also, some utilities may take a few days to transfer so don't wait until the last second.

6. Start to notify all your credit card companies, schools, banks, doctors, insurance companies, etc. 

They will need to know where you will be moving so they can change that information in their systems. Make sure to send a change of address to the local post office so your mail isn't sent to your previous address. If you have missing bills that could end up being a real problem.

7. Pack a box with necessities!

Items such as toilet paper, hand sanitizer, wipes, paper towels, cleaning products, a hammer and screwdriver, packing tape, a cell phone charger, ziplock bags, paper cups and plates, as well as plastic utensils, a pen and notepad, a first aid kit, snacks and plenty of water to keep hydrated while you are moving. Having a box of all the necessary items in a convenient place will make life so much easier during the first week when you may still be unpacking.

8. Have cash on hand.

You may need cash or a card on the ready to purchase unexpected items that may come up. You never know what is truly going to fit into your new place until you get there. Expect the unexpected! Sometimes your couches and furniture won't fit in the new place due to lack of space or different openings on doors that may be hard to get through.

9. Keep your important papers and documents with you.

You might need them when you are driving, especially if you are moving out of state. You don’t want anything important to be misplaced or packed away where you can’t get ahold of it. If you have valuable items like jewelry or hard to replace items like passports you will want to make sure you keep them handy so they don't disappear. 

10. Always accept help from your family and friends.

Moving can be very stressful so if there is anything they are willing to help you with, let them help! A helping hand is always appreciated, just remember though that they may need you too so be ready to help them when they need it too.

Unfortunately, not everyone likes animals. If a buyer walks into your South Hudson NH home for a showing and it smells like urine, feces, or an animal in general, they will no longer be interested! Removing all signs of pets before your home is listed then selling it is the easiest route but not always possible. Be sure to clean your home before any showings and repair any damage your pet may have caused.

Before cleaning your home you should try to relocate your pet so no more accidents happen. Cleaning products can be very harmful and toxic to most pets, so you want to be careful with the choices since you wouldn’t want them getting sick and incurring vet bills that can be very expensive. Washing and vacuuming your rugs can remove any lingering odors left behind. Be sure to use something safe that is pet friendly just in case you need to move your pet back into your home, or just in case whoever buys your South Hudson NH home has pets too.

Be sure to clean your yard as well. If your animal has dug any holes in the ground fill them in so no one will get hurt. Many home buyers will ask to see your yard and walk around it. Also, most animals use the bathroom outside, even if they don’t, check your yard just to be safe that there are no landmines that a buyer might step in No one wants to step in dog poop, or see it for that matter. If they do, they may decide not to go back to your South Hudson NH home again if they feel it is a maintenance issue.

Once you have removed your pets, and cleaned your home and your yard you should be okay to set up showings at your home! Good Luck on your new journey selling your South Hudson home!

If you are looking to sell your South Hudson NH home and you have pets give our agents at Harmony Real Estate a call at (603) 883-8840 for more information. Or if you are looking to buy a home and have a pet we would love to find your dream home. We would love to help you on your journey.

There can be challenges when it comes time to sell your fixer upper house. It can be more challenging to sell a home that needs a lot of work or updating, than a home that is in good repair. Most buyers want homes that have modern kitchens, spacious master bedrooms and updated bathrooms. Fixer uppers rarely have such amenities and need work.

The buyer will either need to have the time and be handy or have the extra money to pay to have the work completed. The key to successfully selling your fixer upper lies in reaching the right audience. With the right real estate agent this task will be much easier to accomplish.

Here are some tips on how to sell your fixer upper in South Hudson, New Hampshire:

1. Find a good agent to help you sell your South Hudson NH house. You can interview a few and decide who is the best fit. Make sure you ask your agent if they’ve sold houses that have needed to be fixed up before. The more experience they have, the easier it will be to sell your fixer upper.

2. Make sure you set a good price to sell your house, especially if it needs a lot of work. You don’t want it to be too high or buyers may pass it up. Your real estate agent will be able to help you set the best price to sell your home at. You want a South Hudson NH agent who will be able to guide you in the right direction and set the best price for your home.

3. Be honest about the flaws in your South Hudson NH house when you are selling. Disclosure is always in your best interest because if a buyer finds out about it after the fact they will want more off the price of the home. Your house may be subject to a home inspection before the sale is completed. So it is in your best interest to be clear about any repairs or maintenance from the onset that need to be taken care of so the buyers don't ask for further discounts.

4. Include headlines with your ads such as “Handyman Special”, “Big Savings For Handy Homeowners”, “A Diamond in the Rough”, “Beautiful Home for a Bargain” or other references to that explain that the home needs work. People want to know what they are getting into. If it’s just cosmetic work make sure to have your information worded properly.

5. If there is something wonderful about your house that you love, be sure to highlight that when you are selling. It might be a good reason for a buyer to love as well. Do you have acres of land, or a large basement that can be renovated to make a larger living space? Be sure to let potential buyers know this important information. That small muddy stream in the back yard that you love, or the giant birch tree that you sit under in the summer to get some shade, the location, or anything else you might love. Someone else is bound to fall in love with the same things as you! 

6. Property investors and contractors can be possible buyers for your fixer upper homes. They can buy the house for the bargain price you sell it for, fix it, and then use it as a way to make a profit by renting it out, or reselling it after they finish the work that it needs. You may even want to highlight the investment potential when placing ads about selling your house.
