Moving Checklist: 1-10 Days Prior

You're in the homestretch now!  Make sure you've researched day spas or massage therapists in you new neighborhood and schedule some 'You-Time' for the week after moving!

Moving Checklist: 1-10 Days Before You Move:

  • Contact your moving company to verify date & time of your move. Provide them with detailed driving directions to your old home and your new one if needed, along with any specific parking directions. Make sure you and they have exchanged any cell or emergency numbers for last minute changes, request, questions, etc.
  • Make plans for small children & pets. Moving days is chaotic enough, so make other arrangements for your kids or pets.

  • Pack snacks or plan for any meals that you'll need to accommodate on moving day. You don't want to be hungry while you're moving or supervising others!
  • Clearly mark and pack items you'll need immediately upon arriving at your new home.  Pack these items together and put this in your personal vehicle or make sure it's the last item to go on the moving truck. Clearly mark this box accordingly with "LAST BOX" or "UNPACK THIS BOX FIRST"!
  • Keep key items in plain view or in your moving file/box. Place certain documents and paperwork so they will be easy to find during and after the move. Even items like check books, overnight toiletries, alarm clocks, bills, etc., should be organized and ready to go!
  • Share your contact information to those who may need to reach you while you travel.
  • Confirm the removal or any trash, boxes or donation items that will need tone taken care of before you take final leave of your old home. 
  • When you get the keys to your new home, HAVE THE LOCKS CHANGED.  Do this before you move yourself, your family or your belongings into the home!
  • If possible, contact a cleaning service to do that last cleaning and save yourself for your move into your new home.
