In the time it took to sell, you found your dream home, crossed all the “t’s” dotted the “I’s” and began the countdown until the keys to your new home are in your hand. The day has finally arrived, which means you have one last challenge to face: Moving Day!
Whether you’re a first time buyer moving into your first home, upgrading to accommodate your growing family, or even downsizing, moving can be a stressful experience.
