10 Ways To Prepare For A Stress Free Move

1. Counsel the kids. Communication is important for any relationship. To provide closure for the kids and reassurance that they can continue to participate in the activities that they enjoy is important. Whether they play baseball or skating, hobbies, lessons, clubs they’re enrolled in, show them where they can continue that in the new neighbourhood. For the smaller children, let them know where all the parks and playgrounds are going to be near your new home. Call places that provide the lessons your kids are interested in and have info for your child. You’ll get the cool mom award because you’re showing them that you care enough to prioritize their needs.
2. Free moving boxes. Considering moving boxes are made out of cardboard, how are they so expensive? Check out freecycle.org., a sharing forum for groups of people to share things they want/do not want. Recently moved people are very willing to give their moving boxes away.
3. Know your movers! Before you decide on the moving company that will transport your possessions, shop around, get to know them, get some quotes. You should personally meet them/the company and research their track record. Get some referrals. Your movers should be professional and be respectful to you and your belongings. If you’re not comfortable with them, it’s not worth the headache when something uncomfortable happens.
4. Pack wisely. Packing is an art. Packing breakables in between a layer of blankets, towels, bed sheets in a box will prevent breaking (Dishes, glassware, vases, etc.). Making use of food containers to pack dry foods will help save space as well (sugar, flour, cereals, salt, etc).
5. Mo’ money, Mo’ problems. Moving to a new city can lead to a set of problems that were unforeseen, especially if your bank isn’t in the new town. Make sure the bank you use is near your new house.
6. First Aid moving box. Make sure you have a box dedicated for the actual move day. This box should be filled with things that you will need on moving day. Such as a coffee maker, coffee, snacks, hair ties, tools: box cutters, screw drivers; toilet paper, paper towels, disinfectant wipes, hand soap, and trash bags. Make sure it’s labelled “Moving Day” and make sure it’s the last to go on the truck and the first to come off.
7. Entertainment. If you are moving great distances, make sure there are some fun places on the way you can stop, relax and have some fun. Let the kids decide where they want to stop. Plan for pit stop activities for the family to release some anxiety: a football, Frisbee, bubbles, or cards could do the trick. They should be lightweight and easy to store in the rest of the boxes.
8. Be organized. Have all the paper work you need put in a binder for quick referencing. Important phone numbers, utility company information, hotel reservations, contracts, health information, movers information, etc.
9. Get your kids involved. Let your kids decide how they want to decorate their room with posters, wallpaper or paint colours. Giving them decision power will help them enjoy and look forward to their move and help the kids settle in faster.
10.Organization/Coordination. Use bright labels to mark boxes that need to be unpacked first. Put labels on all 4 sides of the box so that you can easily see which box you want to unpack next. Prioritize the essentials so that you can go about your day easier and adapt faster to your new environment. Dishes, utensils, alarm clock, bedding, etc.

“We had an agent like 6 months ago, but he didn't seem to understand what we need and don't have enough local knowledge. So we decided to switch. We as newcomers and first home buyers in Toronto, really hope that we can have someone can guide us through the process. And Steven did a great job. Our whole process would have been smoother if we follow all his advice. Steven can be reached whenever we need his help. And he will explain many things that are new to us in details, even before we realize what needed to be paid attention to.”

If we were to do it all over again we would choose Steven 100%.”

“I have dealt with many real estate agents in the past, and I would have to say that my experiences were not good or neutral. All of the agents I've dealt with before did less work than I did in terms of researching or marketing than I did myself. Steven is a refreshing change in that he comes across as a genuine person. When he tells you his opinion, he's not afraid to tell it like it is about a property or a situation. I value that, as an agent's professional, critical opinion is really the only thing of value to me. Anyone can do paperwork and take money in trust. I also personally found Steven to a very relatable guy, so this made spending time with him and conversing with him that much more enjoyable and efficient. I have no reservations about recommending Steven. He is a hard worker, knowledgeable about the geography and homes themselves, and gets back to you quickly.”

If not for the Steven’s dialogs with the sellers and handling the negotiations the way, he did we probably would not by this property. His tactic and professionalism kept us calm and helped us to think clearly and realistically. We loved Steven’s service. Our family (few members met Steven) we think that Steven is an excellent agent. Because of Steven we purchased home we absolutely love. Because of him we did not give up to look for the property till we found the one we fell in love. We are regular hard working couple and we are so happy that Steven was our agent.

“We were introduced to Steve more than 5 years ago when we were looking to buy a new construction condo for investment. Steve was was very helpful in advising and finding us the right developer and building, understanding our needs and wants. To this day we are very happy with his recommendation. Based on this very positive experience, we asked Steve to find us a condo for our own living since we wanted to downsize. He was very patient with us taking us for numerous showings in various parts of the city. This process took over 3 years and with his broad market knowledge and advice he was always ready to point us the pros and cons of each property. When he finally found us the unit we really liked, he did a great job of negotiating the right price for us. It was a highly positive experience from start to finish. Steve is very friendly, approachable, easy to deal with and communicate. He works very hard for his clients. We are very pleased with his services and highly recommend him to anyone.”

“We were impressed by Steven's outstanding customer service. His responsiveness to our questions/communications put us at ease with our house selling/purchase which was stressful at times. Steven took care of all the details when we needed to list our house, from professional photos/virtual tour to staging. He is also a great negotiator who was looking out for our interest to get the best possible deals for us (both selling and buying).
We would highly recommend Steven to anyone for their real estate needs.”

“Steve was a fantastic agent to work with! He is very upbeat, positive and friendly...he made sure that our needs were taken care of at all times. He was knowledgeable and trustworthy which made the entire process of selling our home convenient and hassle free. We felt like Steve truly listened to us and valued what we had to say. He never pressured us into making decisions when we weren't ready. We would recommend him to friends and family with confidence that they will have the same great experience that we had. We were able to sell our home well over asking...which speaks to his fantastic abilities to sell homes! Thanks Steve!”

“We were introduced to Steve more than 5 years ago when we were looking to buy a new construction condo for investment. Steve was was very helpful in advising and finding us the right developer and building, understanding our needs and wants. To this day we are very happy with his recommendation.
Based on this very positive experience, we asked Steve to find us a condo for our own living since we wanted to downsize. He was very patient with us taking us for numerous showings in various parts of the city. This process took over 3 years and with his broad market knowledge and advice he was always ready to point us the pros and cons of each property. When he finally found us the unit we really liked, he did a great job of negotiating the right price for us. It was a highly positive experience from start to finish.
Steve is very friendly, approachable, easy to deal with and communicate. He works very hard for his clients. We are very pleased with his services and highly recommend him to anyone.”

“Overall I had a great experience. Steven Ho was with me through the entire process, we looked at over a dozen places, and we had great conversations about what I needed and was looking for. He was always available, informative, punctual, flexible, and professional. We also had a great time on the road. Buying your first home can be very stressful but Steven's humor and positive attitude helped make the situation more comfortable and enjoyable. I have recommended Steven Ho to friends and family and he will be my broker the next time I buy/sell a house.”

“I used Steve because I see him multiple times a week and thus, have a full understanding of his character which is quite high.
Honest, with high morals. Focuses on his clients needs rather than trying to sell the highest price property.
Very hard working and almost always available.”
