Hi! If you are in the early stages of relocating to a new community you probably have many questions. It can be hard to know where to begin!! That's why I've compiled a short list of tips that can help you remember key steps to a successful relocation. Also, I can assist you with your moving, packing and shipping if needed!!
#1 - Start Early!!
#2 - Clear Clutter: Arrange a garage sale if possible and give unwanted items to friends or charities. Start organizing for your move and purchase boxes and other moving supplies (packing tape, scissors, bubble wrap, etc.)
#3 - Details, details, details: File change of address forms and make the necessary arrangements for your children at school. Give utility companies plenty of notice to make a new account for you.
#4 - Pick the right moving company for your needs.
#5 - Don't forget what the kids need for the short term move and while you are waiting for your items to arrive at your new location. Pack favorite games or toys last!!
#6 - Moving your pet: Maintain your pet's daily routine until the day of the move if possible. Take your pet for a routine veterinary appointment and obtain all travel documents needed for travel. Space for pets on commercial airliners takes preparation and time to reserve. Especially, for long haul flights. If you need more information on this topic - please let me know.
#7 - What about your Car(s)? Your moving company may be able to accommodate our car, but it can be costly given the fact that most general moving companies charge based on gross weight. There are companies that specialize in car shipping. Other services can have your car driven to its destination. Check with your auto insurance company about coverage during transport.
#8- Get settled: Make a move-in shopping list, check all smoke and security alarms, set up utilities, and start unpacking!
These are just a few pointers to help you organize your relocation. My website has additional resources available, and I'd be happy to help you with any all aspects of your relocation. Please call me and let me know how I can be of assistance.
Happy Moving!!
Peyton
