My current condo (why I didn't use movers before) is pretty small, 600 square feet. Could I pack that up in a a week?
Thoughts?
Yes, you can pack up in a week, but I would take the advice of going through what you have today that you will definitely not want -- stuff that you want to take to Goodwill or throw out that you were waiting for "that" day to do it.
Your house might look better for the potential renters too, if it's stuff that's visible.
Once you have the house rented, it might give you more than just that one week, so you can start packing ASAP!
I second (third) the advice on getting medium sized boxes (if the movers are not packing for you) because even if you hire big burly college men to move your stuff, you will still have to move those boxes on your own once the big burly college men are done moving everything and it's better to have it in manageable boxes.
Good luck!
