FrontDoor’s new “Major Move” series lightens the load of relocating

I’d say I moved a lot in the past 10 years (LA to Dallas and back, LA to NYC, NYC to Knoxville and back). Lucky for me, I haven’t had any major moving nightmares, though I’ve heard many a story from friends and family. Lost belongings. Shipped cars arriving months later. Movers breaking things. It’s safe to say that moving comes with risks.

But with proper planning, moving to a new city can be more exciting than stressful. And in the spirit of that thrill of beginning a new stage in your life, we unveil FrontDoor.com’s new “Major Move” series!

Celebrate Moving Month on HGTV’s FrontDoor.com!

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.
