Moving to a new place can get overwhelming pretty fast. Here’s a checklist to help make sure you’ve got the basics covered. Happy moving!
6-8 weeks out
□ Set your budget.
□ Sort through what you’ll take and what you’ll sell, donate or throw away.
□ Get boxes and other packing supplies.
□ Start packing things you don’t need right away.
□ Schedule movers or reserve a moving truck. If possible, you’ll want to avoid
weekends and the last day of the month since those are peak moving times.
□ Schedule the day you want your current utilities turned off. You can start new or
transfer existing service with us in just minutes.
2-4 weeks out
□ Change your address and notify your bank, monthly memberships and service
providers.
□ Pack the majority of your things. Pack plates vertically so they’re less likely to
break. Try using towels and linens to wrap breakables—it saves money and space.
□ Service your car if you’re driving further to your new home.
□ Walk-through your home and list repairs needed.
□ Confirm arrangements for moving day.
