Getting Ready to Move?
Wow you just bought your new house! That new piece of real estate that you have been wheeling and dealing on for what seems like forever. So the deal is closed and you are ready to move. Its important to consider a few steps prior to packing that first box.
The first thing you should do is tell people that you are about to move and when you are going to move. Friends and family should be told right away, most likely they probably already know that you have bought a house and are well on your way to moving in.
Apart from your family and friends, its also important to let all of your contacts know that you are moving. Send a change of address card to all those important contacts so you wont miss any mail. You can also go to your local post office and have your mail forwarded from your old address to your new address. This allows you to fill out the rest of the change of address cards for all that mail that slipped your mind.
Start purging! To limit what you have to pack and what you have to move, first start by returning all those items that belong to their original owners. If you have a bunch of things that arent important or serve no real value anymore, have a garage sale or give them away.
You should arrange service disconnects and or transfers with utility providers such as your water, heat, electricity, phone and cable. Its best to contact them early to make the arrangements.
Make sure to contact your bank and let them know you are moving. If you are not changing any bank accounts, you can update the address on your bank accounts and be done. While doing this you might want to order some new checks with your updated address. If you are going to open a new bank account consider doing it prior to moving, you want to be able to access your money once moved.
These are just a few important steps prior to moving day. To make things a bit smoother consider having a to do list so you can keep track of all the things you need to do prior to moving.
