Expert advice to make your move smooth and stress-free
Don't wait until the last minute! Start packing non-essential items 2-3 weeks before your move date.
Stay organized with a detailed checklist covering everything from utilities to address changes.
Pack essentials you'll need immediately in a clearly labeled bin that goes in the truck last.
Use bubble wrap, packing paper, or towels to protect delicate items during the move.
Avoid moving day surprises by measuring large furniture and doorways at your new place.
Moving is the perfect time to get rid of items you no longer need or use.
Before unplugging TVs, computers, and other electronics, take photos of the cable connections.
Assign each room a color and use matching labels on bins destined for that room.
Clean rooms as you empty them to save time after the move.
Transport valuable documents, jewelry, and irreplaceable items yourself rather than in the moving truck.
Arrange care for children and pets on moving day so you can focus on the move.
Have basic supplies ready at your new home before the movers arrive.
