Moving Guide Helps Homeowners Live Harmoniously, Says GuideToRealty.com

January 29, 2007 — To help relocating homeowners feel comfortable right away in their new home, GuideToRealty.com now offers a comprehensive Relocation and Moving Guide , complete with design tools to map out a harmonious arrangement of furniture before moving. Psychological research shows that the design and furniture arrangement in the home environment directly affects a person's mood, relationships and careers, reports GuideToRealty.com, the online consumer resource for real estate buyers and sellers.

According to design psychologist Constance Forrest, Psy.D., "The things we do consciously to arrange the places we live in can infuse us with a feeling of well-being." To that end, the GuideToRealty.com Relocation and Moving Guide, provides homeowners planning a move a range of online tools to assist in arranging furniture in scale models of the new home to ensure ease and comfort following a stressful relocation.

"Moving is one of the most stressful events in a person's life, ranked by researchers as high as the death of a loved one or divorce," said Joe Harrison, president of the American Moving and Storage Association.

Using the Relocation and Moving Guide homeowners can also create furniture arrangement strategies using a schematic and photographs of their new dwelling to assist movers in placing things where they belong before the family takes residence. Other tools allow homeowners to create a movable scenario on a grid, using a scanned schematic of their new residence.

Furniture placement strategies not only ensure ease of moving items from one dwelling to another with reduced stress, they also allow homeowners to evaluate their existing furniture to know ahead of time if something won't fit, needs to be left behind or replaced.

GuideToLenders.com, an online consumer resource for broker and lender information, suggests that homeowners consider their long-term space needs before buying a new residence. Creating a list of vital features and designs to take home shopping can help reduce stress and create a harmonious living space that suits every need.

The Relocation and Moving Guide also helps homeowners scope the overall moving project ahead of time as well as give advice in evaluating moving companies—all in the service of reducing stress during relocation.
