Moving Checklist

Over the past 10+ years, I have worked with a diverse clientele in an ever-changing real estate market. One thing, however, remains the same; moving can be a hassle, despite how well-prepared you are. This list can help organize even the most cluttered areas and make the process easier before the move, during the move and after you have started settling into your new location.

Moving from one home to another can be stressful and it is important to remember that the moving process doesn’t just affect adults. If you have children and are planning to move, get them involved, organized and prepared with my moving checklist for children. Separate checklists for adults and children can make the transition easier and less hectic.

The following moving checklist tips I share with my clients have helped countless individuals and families execute an organized and easier move. If you have any additional questions when it comes to real estate, buying or selling a property or moving in general, call me today at 954.415.5595 or email me.

One Month Before the Move:

Moving ChecklistMake sure your address has been updated at the post office. This can even be completed online.

Moving ChecklistUpdate your address with the IRS

Moving ChecklistResearch and decide on a moving company or a rental vehicle and book your reservation

Moving ChecklistHave your medical records transferred for yourself, your spouse and your children to your new physician. Ask your current doctor for a referral to a new physician if necessary.

Moving ChecklistTransfer any school records for your children, if applicable.

Moving ChecklistUpdate the information for all of your insurance companies like auto, home etc. Find out if your belongings are covered under your current policy during the transition.

Moving ChecklistSet up cancellation dates with utility companies including cable and any home services like lawn or pool care.

Moving ChecklistChange the address your creditors have on file, and transfer over any magazine subscriptions or newspaper deliveries.

Two Weeks Before the Move:

Moving ChecklistCancel utility services like electric and gas and have their termination dates set for the day after the move

Moving ChecklistPurchase any necessary packing supplies, or bring home boxes from work or the grocery store.

Moving ChecklistConsider any necessary travel arrangements for the big day, and come up with a plan for pets or small children

Moving ChecklistBegin the packing process. Go through the home systematically and label boxes clearly. If possible, try to make a neat, organized list of what each box contains. Leave items that are still needed daily out, preferably in a centralized location and pack this box last.

One Week Before the Move:

Moving ChecklistMake sure that your reservations with the moving company or truck rental are confirmed.

Moving ChecklistPut all your important documents in one, secured place. These should be carried with you during the moving process and not packed away with everything else.

Moving ChecklistCall your local pharmacy and have your prescriptions transferred

Moving ChecklistMove or Transfer your existing bank accounts and make sure to order checks that show your new address.

Moving ChecklistNotify your friends and family of your new address via postcards or online.

Moving ChecklistReturn any library books, movies or other items that you have borrowed from friends or coworkers.

Moving ChecklistMake sure your almost-former home is cleaned thoroughly, from scrubbing the walls to steaming the carpets. Don’t forget to empty the cupboards and clean appliances.

The Day Before the Move:

Moving ChecklistVisit the ATM to have cash on hand in order to tip any drivers or movers you have hired to help

Moving ChecklistBuy water to keep hydrated during the moving process as well as any snacks to have nearby.

Moving ChecklistPack the last of your belongings, but leave a small suitcase out for pajamas, a change of clothes and any toiletries to be carried with you.

Moving Day:

Moving ChecklistMake a note of all your meter readings to check against the balances on your final bills

Moving ChecklistIf you’ve hired movers, supervise them and offer guidance for special items. Confirm any details with them about your destination’s address and what time your items will be delivered.

Moving ChecklistConfirm your travel plans with a friend or family member and notify them where you’ll be staying if moving will take longer than one day.

Moving ChecklistMake sure to arrive at your destination before the movers

After the Move:

Moving ChecklistVisit the local DMV and update the address for your driver’s license. Exchange license plates if you have moved out of state, and register your vehicle.

Moving ChecklistLastly, change your address with your employer and any other creditors that may have been overlooked.

Final Step in Your Moving Checklist – Getting Started:

Planning a possible move, or buying or selling a property doesn’t have to be stressful! With an experienced and knowledgeable Realtor by your side, the process is simpler than you ever thought possible.
