Things To Do Before Moving (Part 3 of 3)

1 Week Before the Move

- Separate the items which you will be moving yourself and what the movers will take.

- Make an inventory sheet of all the items to be transported. So you'll know if all your things have been transported completely and nothing has been lost.

- Empty, defrost and clean your refrigerator, freezer and clean your stove at least 24 hours before moving to let the air out.

Moving Day

- Take the children and pets to daycare facility that you have arranged.

- Supervise the move yourself, if you will not be available, assign a family member or a friend to make sure that all stuff are being transported and nothing is left behind.

- Ask the mover to sign the inventory sheet.

- Hand in your key, alarm codes, garage door openers to the new owner or Realtor.


It's advisable to have a checklist when you're moving. That way you'll know what to do on a specific date and make the necessary arrangements on your end and the people around you.
