I know I’ve said this before but it deserves to be said twice. MOVING IS HARD!!! But to be fair, most people only move a handful of times in their life so we don’t get very much practice.

Little Girl Sitting in a Moving Box in Moving guide by Realtor about Moving To Rochester MN — Moving is not an intuitive process. It’s a bit like packing for a vacation - trying to decide what we want and need for our trip but then not using most of it – sound familiar? Moving is like packing for vacation, on steroids. So, let’s think carefully about what needs to come with you on your move to Rochester MN. This will save you a lot of packing time and money, especially if you’ve hired movers where every pound counts.
If you’re moving yourself, think about what size truck you’ll need and also what items you may want to buy new or just live without in your new life. Professional companies charge by weight, so think critically. If your old items are in good condition and you’re bored with them or your style has changed, try selling or donating them.
