Celebrate Moving Month on HGTV’s FrontDoor.com!
Posted by Annalisa Burgos | May 4, 2009
Moving sucks. I’m actually moving from Jersey City to Manhattan this week and I’m NOT looking forward to it. My husband and I are doing it on the cheap so no movers, just us. Luckily, we’ve been in a “transition” period since December so we have no furniture (just our bed) and don’t have much stuff anyway.
On the other hand, most people have rooms and rooms of stuff and trying to get all that from point A to point B can be overwhelming. Allow your friends at FrontDoor to help.
This month’s top 10 kicks off Moving Month on FrontDoor.com. Get our Top 10 time-saving tips for your move. From drawing a furniture floor plan to creating a moving checklist, planning ahead can save you time, money and energy.
Even non-type-A personalities can move with ease, thanks to FrontDoor’s Moving Guide. We break down everything you need to know to get it together, including how to choose movers, move greener and hold a garage sale so you don’t end up bringing your “sure-it’ll-fit-again” prom dress or that florescent lava lamp you got at the swap meet.
And coming soon, our new “Major Move” video series! Watch as our no-nonsense moving expert helps one family shape up and ship out!

I am looking for a house in Houston, TX. I can qualify for the first time home buyers credit. I attended a free class offered by a realtor. She scared me by being a little pushy. I know what I want and what I don’t want. How do I find a realtor I will be comfortable with and who will be comfortable with me? That’s the hardest part about buying a home. I don’t have regular access to the internet either at work or at home! I have to go to the library and they are convenient only on Saturdays.

Jan, I understand your frustration. Do you have any friends or family who live in Houston and can refer you to a Realtor? Referrals are the best way to find a trustworthy agent. If not, look up the phone numbers of the neighborhood associations that serve the areas in which you want to buy. They should be a great source of info. Also, try attending free seminars hosted by other agents. It’s a numbers game — the more people you meet, the better your chances are of meeting the right agent for you. Good luck!
