MovingPlan: I was successful in preparing for our move to CCRC retirement community by going through our home- room by room and select things I want to take. I did this for about 2 weeks, removing the items to move. Then I went through the boxes of things I had selected and choose items I couldn’t part with.
Then I chose a professional Estate Sale group to manage the sale. Prior to the sale date I moved the “go” items into our new home. I had a few days to make any adjustments of my items. I was advised not to be present at the sale to make it easier to part with my treasured furnishings. I never knew the sales prices but was pleasantly surprised after this procedure to be given a large envelope with thousands of dollars. The “left-overs” they donated to Salvation Army and gave me a receipt for this donation.
The house was clean and empty and ready for the new owner. I had furnished my new retirement apartment space with my favorite items only. Some of the cash I used to buy a new leather loveseat and recliner! This has been a great move for us and we never regretted moving. Maybe this plan could make this last move easier for you?
