Will need to get out of our house in Kadena area after I take a private job back in CONUS. Will give 2-3 weeks notice. Wife and I are worried about the process. Here’s our 3-week plan:
Week 1:
Give Kadena Housing 3 weeks notice. They will handle cancel lease and notice to landlord rep.
Start to sell Wife’s Kei car online using Facebook Market and other websites (any other suggestions?)
3 . Also likewise start to sell minor furniture and household items.
- Drop some stuff at Thrift Shop somewhere (any suggestions where?).
Week 2:
See how to get rid of large items with city for a fee (sodai-gomi pick up) in case large furniture remains.
Sell online large furniture item like beds, sofa, tables, etc.
Deal with ending lease and arrange final walk-thru with housing/landlord rep.
Sell 2nd car (Y-plate) online with contingent to handle over on last day.
Week 3 (final):
Drop price of everything online to final bottom price. Last few days offer for free.
Sell any remaining car(s) sell to dealer (any suggestion where?)
Ship small items by USPS
Last days, any remaining household good – toss (any recycle center on or off base?). Arrange sodai-gomi pick up with city for large items.
Last 2 days, pack multiple luggage for flight to CONUS. Check into hotel.
Clean house as best we can. Hand over keys to landlord rep.
Fly out next day. Good-bye Okinawa.
I know there are much more stuff to do in between, but this is our general plan to get rid of stuff. (Is letting landlord rep handle remaining household goods a costly option?)
Any comments, suggestion and recommendations would be greatly appreciated?
