Planning to Move

Moving to a new home can be a daunting task, but with careful planning and organization, the process can be much smoother. Whether you are moving locally or to a different city or even country, the following steps can help you prepare for your move.

CREATE TIMELINE
First, create a moving timeline. Determine the date of your move and work backwards to establish a timeline for packing, completing paperwork, and arranging for utilities to be transferred to your new home.

ORGANIZE BELONGINGS
Next, declutter and organize your belongings. Take an inventory of your items and decide what you want to keep, donate, or sell. This will make packing and unpacking much easier.

START PACKING
Once you have decluttered, start packing. Begin with items that you don’t use frequently and label each box with its contents and the room it belongs to. This will help you stay organized during the unpacking process.

HIRE A MOVER
Lastly, hire a reputable moving company or rent a moving truck.  Research different options, get quotes, and book your moving service well in advance to ensure availability.
