Moving Yourself
Some home buyers choose to move themselves and their belongings. It you want to save time and money by taking on this endeavor yourself, be sure that you have ample packing supplies. Please review the sites below for some informative resources about purchasing boxes, bubble wrap, labels and tape.
The Day of the Move
The day has finally arrived! As excited as you and your family maybe about your new home and its surroundings, moving can make everything seem uncertain. It is important to take a deep breath and try not to be stressed.
Here is a list of important things you should remember when your moving day arrives:
- Designate specific items that you need, that should not be packed with the rest on your belongings.
- If you have children, make sure that they have at least two special items to take with them for the trip.
- Make sure you remove all trash from your current residence.
- If you are using a moving company or friends and family, specify certain unloading areas.
- Make sure there are ample walkways for moving large pieces as well as boxes of your belongings.
- If you are using a moving company, reiterate those specific items that need special attention and handled-with-care.
- Remember to meet the needs of those helping in your move by supplying them with food, beverages and restroom facilities.
- Lastly, if you are using a moving company, please remember to read and sign all paperwork, documenting anything that transpired during the moving process.
Tying Up All of the Loose Ends
You have survived the move and are now in your new house, so now what? There are many things that still need to be done because all of the unpacking. Please remember to
- Call your local utilities company
- Call the telephone company
- Call the boarding kennels where your pets are located
