Moving Checklist

MOVING GOES SMOOTHER WHEN YOU FOLLOW A PLAN.

Here is an easy checklist that will help you plan out your move
two months before all the way to moving day.

2 Months Before

Go through your things and get rid of anything you no longer need or want
Research moving companies, collect quotes from each one, and personally talk to them
Organize everything in a binder – receipts, quotes, estimates, and your to-do list
Begin packing up anything you don’t use on a regular basis, such as seasonal clothes

1 Month Before

Choose your mover and make arrangements for moving day
Begin packing up the rest of your house
Make note of any items that will need special insurance, such as jewelry and other valuables
Keep an inventory of everything by numbering the boxes & making a list of what their contents are and what room they will be assigned
Submit change of address forms (billing, credit cards, driver license, insurance, etc)
Change address on publications such as newspapers and magazines
Register kids at new schools and transfer any important documents needed
Arrange the day off from work if necessary

2 Weeks Before

1 Week Before

Moving Day
