This may sound naive, but how do people manage to move within days, not to mention that the owner lives in another state? Lease, mortgage, furniture, bills, job...
We've moved 3 times in the last 6 years.
For the last 2 moves we've had the kids.
The longest time we've taken is 2 days.
When we got this place, we had to wait for 2 weeks before we knew whether we'd got it or not.
Got a phone call on the Thursday morning, met the agent at the house that same afternoon, signed the agreement and started moving on the Friday.
As the OH and the kids were busy packing, I booked the van and spent all afternoon contacting people by email/phone with the new address. I got the ISP to switch the service over the weekend so we'd be up and running for Monday morning.
I picked up the van late Friday afternoon and we spent the whole weekend shifting our stuff.
Most of it just got dumped in roughly the right rooms at the new place and by late Sunday evening we finished mopping the floors of the old place, locked up, and dropped the keys off to the landlord.
Sunday night was spent crashed out on mattresses at the new place - all moved and done.
It took another month or so to get everything put where we wanted it, but the moving took just 48 hours.
