Take a look at the Market Analysis below. Comparing July numbers with the previous two months, you can see the first climb in inventory after months of descent. You can also see a drop in the record-breaking home sales of the year. Could this indicate a return to normalcy?
This month's Patterson Group Newsletter features more dogs, more news, and more helpful home-ownership advice. If you're moving soon, in the midst of a move, planning to move eventually, or even remembering a past move (that didn't go as smoothly as you would have liked), take a look below at 12 uncommon tips and tricks learned from PROFESSIONAL movers to make it an easy process. And as always, we have our monthly Featured Property, located in beautiful Punta Gorda, Florida!

12 Tips and Tricks We Learned from Professional Movers
By Tom Scalisi| June 23, 2020
Take some of the stress, accidents, and guesswork out of moving with these top tips from the pros. A successful moving day can take the planning and strategic mindset of a four-star general. Packing requires the utmost attention to detail, and arranging for help with any aspect of the move can add to the challenge. To keep you from stressing on the big day, follow these 12 tried-and-true tips and tricks from professional movers to get packed up, loaded in, and on your way.
Don't Take Everything With You.
Professional movers are often astonished at how many things people want packed but don’t really need. These include old knick-knacks, out of date furniture, and half-empty bottles of shampoo or spices. Instead, take inventory of everything you own and decide what you really need and what’s just taking up space. Instead of packing that bin of Beanie Babies or box of turtlenecks, hold a yard sale and use the profits for moving expenses. Or donate gently used castoffs to friends or charities.
Pack Important Documents in a Distinct or Clear Bin
Don’t risk packing crucial papers in a cardboard box where it can be hard to find in a sea of cardboard boxes. Invest in a plastic, water-resistant bin for tax information, insurance documents, your will, passport, and other vital paperwork. These items will be safer, less likely to get damaged, and you’ll be able to locate them quickly in case you need to access them soon after the move.
Time It All Out.
If you’re planning to hire help, don’t wait until the last minute. The end of the month is incredibly busy for moving companies, and procrastinating will leave you to pack your boxes and truck by yourself. Call to schedule your moving date as soon as you know when your new home will be ready. Reserve a truck and a few movers two to four weeks in advance to take most of the work off of your shoulders.
Hire Labor and Rent a Truck – Separately.
If you’re planning to hire help, you’ll save money by shouldering some of the burden yourself. While hiring a crew to help move could cost upward of $800, moving companies can charge an extra $1600 just to drive the truck and unload it. If you hire the crew to load but do the driving and unloading yourself, you’ll keep a lot of cash. (Related: 18 Hidden Costs of Moving)
Take a Pic Before You Unplug.
Moving companies prefer that you unplug electronics before they’ll touch them, and they don’t hook them up after unloading them. To avoid frustration, take a picture of the back of your TV, DVR, and game console before you unplug. When you move into your new home, you’ll have a better idea of how to hook them back up.
