Moving doesn’t have to be stressful! In this video, I share Realtor-tested moving tips and packing hacks that save time, money, and frustration. From how long packing really takes, to what to purge before you move, to why you should always pack a survival suitcase—you’ll learn the strategies Realtors give their clients (but moving companies won’t tell you).
If you’re planning a move, especially here on Florida’s Treasure Coast, I’d love to help you make it as smooth as possible. Subscribe for more real estate tips, moving advice, and local insights!
