Most importantly: Start with strategic planning
The key to a successful relocation begins with careful planning. We recommend starting preparations at least three to six months before your moving date. Early planning gives you ample time to assess your belongings, decide what you’ll bring, and manage logistics effectively. The size and scale of your home mean early organization is crucial to ensure a smooth transition.

Break down the logistics of a big move
Large homes come with large inventories. Tackling the logistics of moving a house full of belongings, including furniture, artwork, electronics, collections, clothing, and family memorabilia, requires a room-by-room strategy. Start by conducting a detailed inventory of your entire house. This helps determine what will be moved, sold, donated, or stored.
