You’ve made the decision to move, sold the house and are excited to get things rolling. It’s never too early to start planning. Before you know it, moving day will be upon you. Start making simple TO DO lists. It’s a great way to keep track of what needs to be done. Keep the list where you can see it, on a bulletin board or posted to your fridge. Once you complete one list, start another. Something as simple as checking things off of a list can keep you going, providing you with a sense of accomplishment.
Simple Things to Do Before Moving Day
* Hire a professional mover — do your research and ask family and friends if they can recommend a favorite moving company. Houston residents, like many satisfied customers, are loyal to the companies they trust. If a company has a good reputation, customers will recommend them. That speaks volumes about their service.
* Take inventory of items to be moved — categorize items by room. This exercise will also reveal any items you rarely use that could be donated to charity or sold for some extra money.
* Declutter, declutter, declutter — nothing makes a house look more crowded and unkept than too many possessions.
* Call the moving company for an estimate — they will walk through your home to see exactly what you are taking with you, how far you will be traveling to your new home, which services you’d like them to provide, etc.
* Pick a moving date — once you’ve discussed the move with your family and have come up with the best date, start advising people.
* Contact the post office — submit a change of address. You can advise them of the moving date and mail can be forwarded after that time.
* Decide if you will do the packing — you may want to save money by doing it yourself or choose to pay for the packing services offered by your moving company. Houston residents have moving supply companies in the community, that sell all the packing tools you’ll need—boxes, tape guns and tape, packing materials labels and markers.
Whether you plan to stay in Houston or move to another state, making plans ahead of time and using checklists to keep track of your goals will ensure you are ready when moving day arrives.
