Moving Check List

Four to Five Weeks before you Move

Do you have any items to donate to the local charity, items that you don't really need? 

Decide what items you will be packing and moving yourself and what items need professional care.

Decide on an area to place your packed boxes, an area that is the least intrusive for your daily life.

Make sure you have enough boxes, tape, magic markers for packing and marking boxes

First pack the items that you don't use on a regular basis and can do without until you reach your new home

Research, interview and find a reputable moving company; get a sample contract of what you will be signing on the moving day.

Two Weeks before you Move

Contact your utility companies to coordinate the shut-off and turn on of all utilities

*  Gas
*  Electric
*  Water
*  Cable
*  Telephone

One Week Left........Crunch Time !

Contact your moving company and confirm all details (provide contact numbers)

Make sure you have cleared walk-ways, driveways and hallways for the move

Collect your valuable possessions, important paperwork, jewelry and keep them in your possession, not to be mistakenly sent with movers.  Pack a "must have" box, things that you need readily available and at your fingertips.

Day of the Move

When the movers arrive, go over the contract prior to signing it.  Hopefully you will have already looked at and seen the documention you will be signing.

Let the movers do their job, let them move! 

Make Final Tour of your Home....ensure that all is loaded.

Don't forget, often times the movers will unload the furniture etc... where you want it at the new house if you have  a plan!
