Moving can make even the coolest among us break out in a panic. But you can avoid it! Here are a few things to set you up for success:
-
Don’t get stuck with a bad mover because you didn’t do your research. Read the reviews and get multiple quotes.
-
Create an inventory list so you know what items you have, taking a very detailed video of all your belongings (open closets, doors, drawers, etc.) can also help in case of theft or loss. P.S. Do this yearly for insurance purposes too!
-
Pack a bag with all of your necessities for a night or two and keep it in a safe area like your car, so movers can't pack it! If you are doing a local move, ask the moves not to take the parts box with them, and hand carry it to your new house so you can quickly access all the needed parts.
-
Don’t forget to update your new address for utility mail forwarding and car registration. Taking care of this before you move in will save you several headaches.
With a little bit of preparation, you can make moving a smooth experience so you can jump right into enjoying your new house.
