ON MOVING DAY

Moving Checklist

• Make sure the items you need the most are packed last
• Pack essential items that you will need for the first 24 hours in your new home and pack them in your vehicle.  IE: change of clothes, towels, toothbrushes, medication, and activities for small children, snacks, beverages, trash bags and possibly your address book.

ON MOVING DAY

• Have a notepad or clipboard handy to jot down last minute notes and reminders
• Be ready to go when your movers arrive
• Make sure the movers have clear directions to your home
• Make sure the moving company; helpers do not disrupt your neighbors' driveway etc.
• Try not to move to early or late in the day
• Arrange for a friend / neighbor / family member to look after your pet
• Remember to leave your old house as clean as you would like your new one to be when you move in
• Stick around for when the movers are done packing, you will be asked to sign a bill of lading and to go over an inventory sheet with them (keep this in mind on the other end of your move, they may also have you check a list for them as each box comes into your new home) remember to read all documents clearly before signing
• Remember to do a last walk thru of all rooms in your home
