Moving tips

We recommend that you start a moving file. Print this list out and check off things as they are accomplished. Keep your written estimate, this list and other moving documents together.

One month before your move:

·                     Prepare an inventory of all your household items. You will need this when you contact movers for estimates

·                     Call movers for estimates and discuss the costs involved. Reserve your move date.

·                     Determine other moving expenses and prepare a rough budget.

·                     Sell or give away anything you don't want.

·                     Visit your bank and advise them of your moving plans so they can offer recommendations on setting up accounts at a new financial institution where you will be  

            moving. This will be an immense help in transferring your accounts.

·                     Notify your doctor and dentist of your move in order to have records and prescriptions transferred.

·                     If you have pets, arrange for their boarding during your pre-move and for shipping when you move. Contact your veterinarian for your pet' s records , and try to

            have all of their shots and treatments done before you move. Call your new county to determine specific requirements for that area.

·                     If you have children, find out the school they will attend and the records they will need to have transferred.

·                     Verify requirements for auto licensing.

·                     Notify insurance companies of your move. Transfer insurance on your house and possessions to insure coverage of your new home.

·                     Close charge accounts you won't be using in your new community.

·                     Ask for a transfer of credit bureau files.

·                     Send change of address to your post office.

·                     Send change of address cards to friends, magazines and creditors.

·                     Notify your church or synagogue.

·                     Cancel local deliveries.

·                     Contact utilities for disconnection and possible refunds due to you.

Two Weeks

·                     Empty your safe deposit box.

·                     Pack items of sentimental value and valuable papers that you are going to take care of yourself.

·                     Clean out your refrigerator and cabinets. Fix meals that use up food you don't want t o move.

·                     Have your car (s) serviced for the trip.

·                     Get a babysitter for when the movers are in your home.

·                     Plan a furniture layout for the movers, showing where things should be in your new home.

·                     Make hotel reservations if you are traveling for more than one day or you have to wait for the movers to arrive.

·                     Start packing anything that the movers won't be packing.

·                     If your home isn't sold, make maintenance and security arrangements with your real estate agent and also plan for a thorough cleaning of your house, carpets

            and draperies.

·                     Check with your local tax assessors to make sure your tax records are in order.

·                     If your home will be vacant for some time, arrange for snow removal, lawn care and notify police.

Final Days

Plan a survival package in case you have to wait for the movers:

·                     Paper plates

·                     Towels

·                     Soap

·                     Toilet paper

·                     Bedding

·                     Items to occupy children's time

·                     Snacks

·                     Water

·                     New house keys

·                     Pack clothes for the trip

·                     Take a local phone directory with you

·                     Notify someone of your travel plans

·                     Empty gasoline from the lawn mower and discard any cleaning fluids that are flammable. The mover won't allow them to be packed

·                     Get a cashiers check for the movers and travelers check for your trip to over any expenses until your new accounts are available

·                     Defrost and dry your refrigerator and freezer

·                     Have appliances and antennas disconnected

·                     Make sure boxes are labeled. Anything not being loaded should be marked "Do Not Move" and consolidated in one area

On Moving Day

·                     Make arrangements for pets so they won't be underfoot.

·                     Take small children to babysitter.

·                     Either you or someone else should be there when the movers arrive to direct them.

·                     Review inventory sheets with movers, including destination address and contact numbers.

·                     Take valuable documents, jewelry and money with you.

·                     Clear access areas, parking spaces, driveways, walkways and stairs of debris.

·                     At the completion of the loading, do a final walk through of the premises. Make sure all doors and windows are locked and lights out.

Move-In Day

·                     Arrange to be there to meet the movers.

·                     Make payment of final balance due.

·                     Review the floor plan with movers and the placement of household items.

·                     Confirm receipt of all household items by checking your inventory.
