Preparing for your Move!
There are so many things that must be done before the big moving day! Here is a helpful list to assist with the process!
Transfer or cancel deliveries of newspaper, garbage collection, etc...Coordinate the transfer of your gas and electric services to the new homeowners. One of the benefits of purchasing a home through Liz Moore is that we coordinate the hookup of the utilities of your new home FOR YOU!
Check on personal items that may be in a safe-deposit box, at a neighbor's home, on layaway, or something you may have being repaired.
Arrange for the transportation of your plants and pets.
Keep the phone book from your former residence for tying up loose ends or for future correspondence.
Transfer insurance policies and arrange for the new policies to take effect.
Personally gather all valuables, jewelry, and important papers. Plan to move these items yourself.
If you're driving to your new home, make sure your car has been serviced for the trip.
Just in case you arrive before the movers, you should pack an arrival kit full of necessities.
Purchase moving insurance! Most movers liability for lost or damaged goods will not come close to replacement cost.
If you're crossing state lines, check with an attorney about your will.
Ask me for professional referrals. (Doctor, Dentist, etc.)
Let everyone know that you've moved and provide them with your new address: post office, banks, charge accounts, subscriptions, relatives and friends, national and alumni organizations, mail order clubs, church, and your past employer to ensure receipt of W-2 forms and retirement-account information.
You can use old address labels when filling out change-of address forms for your new address. A real time saver!
