Moving Checklist

Preparing for Your Move

1. Get Organized:
   • Confirm move-in/out times and insurance requirements with building management.
   • Plan what to move, donate, or store. Start decluttering early.
2. Choosing a Moving Company:
   • Picking the right mover is more than just picking the lowest price. You want a mover who is fully insured, will safely move your items and be upfront about any additional fees, or even better guarantee you a flat fee so there are no surprises on the day.
   • Ensure they are insured, offer clear pricing, and provide comprehensive services.
3. Reviewing Quotes and Terms:
   • Compare detailed quotes from top-rated movers.
4. Post-Booking Steps:
   • Confirm your move, arrange travel, notify schools, and plan pet care.
5. Packing:
   • Start early, gather supplies, and label boxes.

Final Preparations

6. One Week Before:
   • Finalize packing, confirm childcare/pet care, update addresses, and prepare a moving day suitcase.
7. Moving Day:
   • At the old location: Ensure an early start, manage final cleaning, and oversee movers.
   • At the new location: Check utilities, direct movers, and begin unpacking essentials.

Post-Move Tasks

8. After the Move:
   • Recycle boxes, schedule a pick up of any unwanted items, finalize address changes, and be sure to review your movers!
