Real Estate & COVID-19 | Planning to move? Read this! | Cleveland Bricks
Life goes on even during a pandemic. The fast-moving and ever-changing world of real estate has also been affected by COVID-19. Some of us can rely on friends or family in these uncertain times. Some may be moving from out of state and may need professional assistance. Either way, we are here to help our community. If you are moving during these unprecedented times, we have some tips to make the process a little bit smoother.
Do Your Homework
If you are hiring a moving company, the first thing to check for is their operating hours. Some businesses are changing and shortening the workdays to counter the pandemic. Prepare for your move with new boxes and extra cleaning supplies. Have sanitizers, hand soaps and towels readily available. Organize and clearly label all boxes before moving day to help minimize unnecessary contact with others.
Give Back
With so many of us struggling to make ends meet, now is a wonderful time to donate belongings that you no longer need or use. Countless organizations and places of worship are in need of non-perishable food and other unwieldy items that are hard to pack. This not only benefits the community, but it also lessens your moving load. Plus, giving back is a beautiful thing!

Thoroughly Clean Your New Space
A good practice for your moving into your new estate during COVID-19 is a thorough deep clean. This step will not only make you more familiar with your new space, but it also provides peace of mind knowing your home is fresh and safe. Please be careful of the cleaning products you use, minimize the use of bleach and try using cleaning products with natural ingredients.
Moving is an exciting milestone, we hope that these tips will help you with moving in, even during this pandemic. If you are considering a move to Cleveland, visit www.clevelandbricks.com. Our team is here to help you find your next property!
