Moving Tips

1 to 2 Months Before

Calculate and budget for supplies and moving expenses. Determine any moving supplies you will need, such as boxes, tape, labels, blankets, etc. Have a yard sale or donate unwanted items to charity. Begin using food and cleaning supplies on hand. Pick up supplies and make your “to-do” list. Reserve storage space, if necessary.

1 to 2 Weeks Before

Pack all valuables to move personally. Pack all nonessentials and label boxes to unload quickly. Drain fluids from your power tools and lawn mower. Clean and empty appliances including your washer, dryer, and refrigerator. Prepare a bag for the road including water, snacks, personal care items.

The Day You Are Moving

Have drinks and snacks available all day. Make sure fragile items are handled safely. Make sure all possessions are packed. Have tools, rope/straps, and spare moving supplies available. If a professional moving service is used, avoid having too many people at your residence who may get in the way of the movers.

The residential relocation process is comprised of a series of logistical decisions. The efficiency of a relocation is dependent upon planning, preparation and organization.
