What to look at first
Work backward from when the new home is actually available. Set dates for sorting, donations, packing, property preparation and utility changes. Identify who can approve expenses and who is helping with each task. If an estate sale or professional organizer is involved, obtain a written scope and clarify access, insurance and responsibility for unsold items.
Keep property decisions visible alongside the household schedule. Repairs, a buyer’s inspection or a change in closing can affect a moving reservation. Ask movers about scheduling flexibility and confirm possession before final delivery. Jessica’s coordination can help keep the real estate milestones organized while you select and contract directly with service providers.

Jessica’s role is to help evaluate the real estate and coordinate the move, while those specialists explain the loan and its consequences.
