Make Your Move Manageable
• Always plan to get more boxes than you anticipate. Vary box size to accommodate small loads of books and larger loads for clothes. Don’t forget to reinforce the bottoms of the boxes with at least one strip of packing tape.
• Pack room-by-room. This keeps similar items together and will avoid confusion later when you’re moving in.
• Use towels, linens and curtains to pad boxes containing fragile items. Clearly label the boxes “FRAGILE.”
• Make a box of essentials and label it “Open me first.” Load it last so it’s easily accessible. The box should have such items as light bulbs, bathroom towels, toilet paper, a shower curtain, paper towels, cups, plastic utensils, pet foods, trash bags and sponges.
• Pack rugs last so they can be unloaded first and put down before the furniture.
• Give yourself plenty of time so you can plan, organize and keep your sanity!

WHAT CRS DESIGNEES CAN DO FOR YOU
The CRS Designee you work with could be one of your most valuable resources. Unlike many real estate agents who are simply licensed by their state to engage in real estate sales, CRS Designees have completed additional training courses and have agreed to act adhere to a strict Code of Ethics. Plus …
Part of my success as a Real
Estate Professional comes from
referrals. If you have any family,
friends or acquaintances that may
have real estate needs, please pass
my name and number on to them or
call me with their name and number.
I will be sure to give them the
best service possible!
In addition to knowing the local money market, CRS Designees can tell you what personal and financial data to bring with you when you apply for a loan.
They already are familiar with current real estate values, taxes, utility costs, municipal services and facilities, and may be aware of local zoning changes that could affect your decision to buy.
They can usually research your housing needs in advance through a Multiple Listing Service — even if you are relocating from another city.
CRS Designees are sensitive to the importance you place on this major commitment you are about to make. Look for a real estate professional to facilitate negotiation of a win-win agreement that will satisfy both you and the seller.

Question: How to avoid an urgent sale?
Answer: One of the most important things to remember when you’re selling your home is that
your house is a valuable and extremely marketable asset.
To sell your home at the best possible price, always try to
avoid urgency. Urgency can lead you to make rash
decisions, causing stress, inconvenience and potentially
financial loss. You can depend on getting a good price if
you allow enough time for the sale to occur.

Even though there is usually a market filled with home
buyers, it is generally understood that a home must be
exposed to a wide range of potential buyers over a
reasonable length of time to get the best offer.
The best thing to do when trying to sell a home is plan
ahead. If you time the marketing in a way that will benefit
you, you will not feel the urgency to sell. Give yourself time
to make home improvements and repairs, and time to find
a good agent. Then, be prepared to wait for the right buyer.
