· Downsize
If possible, it’s ideal to start downsizing several months before your move. Every household has non-essential items that are never used; trimming these down through sale or donation will result in a more cost-effective move.
· Get Several Moving Quotes
Research possible local movers on sites like Angie’s List and Yelp, and get at least 3 free quotes from nearby companies. In-home estimates are a great way to evaluate movers in advance, before they begin handling your belongings.
· Transfer Services
Have all of your services transferred or cancelled before your move. It might be helpful to make a list of tasks you can check off as you go along – such as turning off the cable, changing your address with the post office, etc.
· Pack Essentials Last
If you’re packing yourself, pack the items you will need first last so they will be easily accessible once you reach your new home.
