1.0 Introduction When looking for the best place to live, whether you're retiring, going to school or looking for a fresh start, it's a good idea to consider everything that makes up your home and community, and that goes into creating that ideal place—just for you and your family. As we all know, moving is one of the most stressful tasks you can ever undertake; however, as much as it's difficult for adults, it's even harder for the younger members of the family. Telling them that they need to say goodbye to their friends and school and all things familiar is hard. Here are some tips to make moving into your new home as stress-free as possible for everyone in your family. 2.0 How to Get Ready for Your Next Big Move If you are planning a real big move, these tips might come in very handy! Clean house. The first rule of moving is to get rid of unnecessary clutter before you go. That way, you won't have to find a place for those rarely-used items when you get to your new home. Host a garage sale or donate goods to a local charity. Get organized. Two months before your move, keep track of all your mail and make a list of people, subscriptions, and organizations that should be notified of your changing address. Don't forget about your bank, your broker or investment companies, your insurance agent, your doctor, and your vet. Just before your move, contact the postal service for a change of address form. Cancel and re-order. Make another list that includes all the contact information for your utility service providers (telephone, gas, electric, water, cable, and Internet access). To save even more time, you can transfer your utilities online. Remember to contact your pest control, lawn care, window
cleaning and other services to let them know about your move. Proper planning insures that you won't be paying for services you're not using! Be "Mover Friendly". If you're using a professional moving company, make yourself available to answer questions on both ends of the move - loading and unloading. Review the home inventory paperwork and make sure the driver has your contact information and details of your delivery. Be safe. Whether you're hiring professionals or moving yourself, remove all rugs, low hanging items, and tripping hazards. Keep walkways clear at all times. Arrange for someone to take care of your children and pets while everything is being packed and loaded onto the moving truck. Know what you're packing. Label boxes in detail, including contents and the room in which they belong. This will save time and questions for you and your movers. Pack an "essentials box". When you arrive at your new residence, your essentials box will be first thing you unpack. In it, you'll want to include items like: • Alarm clock • Aspirin or pain reliever • Basic cleaning supplies and paper towels • Bedding and linens • Box cutter or knife • Change of clothes • Coffee maker or instant coffee and tea • Disposable plates, cups, and eating utensils • Extension cords and batteries • First-aid kit • Flashlights • Garbage bags • Light bulbs • Map of new area • Medications and eyeglasses
