Moving Tips

Be available on all loading days. Movers will have questions.

Before the driver leaves do a final walk through the house checking all closets and storage areas to make sure nothing was missed.

Provide the driver with contact information in case he needs to reach you during the course of the move.

Make sure the driver has the correct address of your new home or storage facility.
Provide the movers and helpers with a clean water supply (either individual bottles or cups) and restroom facilities.

The items that will be traveling with you, clothes, papers, etc. should be put in one place (a bathroom that has been previously packed) or in the vehicle that you will be taking with you. This will help prevent them being loaded on the truck and having to find them later.

When possible arrange for the house closing to a day or two following loading. This will help reduce the stress of having to be available for the movers and having to concentrate on closing at the same time.

Get a good night’s sleep and have a good breakfast the morning of the move.

No matter how prepared you are, things occasionally go wrong, Fido will decide to chase the neighbor’s cat, Jr. will decide that he has to have the toy in the bottom box of a stack, it will seem that everyone you know has to drop by for one last chat, try to relax this is a normal part of moving.ave all your boxes packed and sealed on the top and bottom before your movers arrive
