Moving Made Easy
RESOURCES
Moving Doesn’t
Have to be Stressful
Follow these simple tips and your moving day will be a breeze.
TIP 1
Stay in touch with your real estate lawyer
Your lawyer will be your go-to contact to confirm the time and date when you can pick up the keys to your new home. Make sure to touch base with her before you book your moving company to avoid any mix ups!
TIP 2
Book your movers early
There’s nothing worse than scrambling at the last minute to find a moving company. Get a head start and book at least 3 months in advance of your move in day to ensure that everything goes smoothly.
TIP 3
Get a baby/ pet sitter
There’s a lot of things to keep track on moving day, so the last thing you’ll want to worry about is keeping an eye on your young children or pets. We recommend booking a sitter for the day, so you can focus on getting the move done right.
TIP 4
Make lists
When moving all your worldly possessions, it’s easy for things to get lost in the mix. We advise making a list of everything you’ll need.
TIP 5
Educate yourself on schools
Your kids will need to be registered for the new school in your area if you want to avoid any interruption in their education. Make sure to call your local school board to communicate.
TIP 6
Set up your accounts in advance
There’s nothing worse than being without internet, cable, phone and electricity when you move in. Make sure to contact your utilities in advance of moving day to have everything up and running as soon as possible.
