If you’ve never gone through a move requiring selling and buying a home at the same time, you may be wondering what to do with all your belongings during the process. This scenario is just one of the many ways storage containers can be a great benefit and save you some of the stress typically associated with big transitions like this.
Let’s go over some of the specific ways storage containers help with the home-buying process.
Remodeling / Staging
If you’re selling a home, storage containers can help you clear clutter, extra belongings and other items while you’re showing the home to prospective buyers. Or, they could store remodeling and staging supplies while you’re working inside the home. Either way, having an extra, secured, space that’s out of the way will help you present your home that much more effectively.
Storage Flexibility
If you’re worried about double mortgages or what to do with your stuff in between the time when you sell your existing house and buy your new one, a storage container can give you flexibility. Simply store your items from your old home when you’re ready, then have the container picked up and stored at a facility until your new home is ready. The container can even be delivered to your new location, making it extra convenient and efficient and effectively doubling as a moving truck.
Organizing / Decluttering
Once you move into your new home, you can organize your new space better by keeping items in a storage container and unloading them on your timetable. Go room by room and take your time, as storage containers are rented on a monthly basis and there’s no rush to get yours unloaded. Also, if you find your new home cluttered after the move, containers can help clear it away in a jiffy.
Extra Belongings
After your move is completed, you may find that you have more stuff than you realized (or your new space is smaller than anticipated). If that’s the case, or you have extra clutter as mentioned above, a storage container can again provide a storage solution. Simply leave what doesn’t fit in your new location in the storage container and have it delivered to a storage facility for secure storage without cluttering your new home.
