Your Moving Checklist Visit us online at www.MyTucsonMovers.com
Take it Room-by-Room • Start in the living room and work your way through your house taking stock of all your belongings. • Try to get a sense of how big of a move this is going to be. Do you need to hire professional movers to help? Or is it a small enough move to tackle with a friend?
Sort Everything • When you move into a new home, it’s an opportunity for a fresh start. Why waste your time schlepping a bunch of old clothes or DVDs you no longer use? • Before moving, sort everything. • Make a pile for things to keep, things to donate and things to throw away. • This will help keep your new home clutter-free!
Find the Best Local Movers • When it comes to hiring a moving company, make sure you do a little research. • Look for companies with good reviews and testimonials from previous clients. • Compare pricing between companies and look for movers that are offering specials or discounts.
Supplies • Before you start packing, stock up on boxes, bubble wrap and packing tape. • If you hire a moving company, they will provide these for you. • You can often get boxes for free from local grocery stores, or you can always pick them up at any hardware store.
Pack and Load • Pack fragile items carefully and wrap them with bubble wrap or newspaper to avoid breaking. • Don’t let boxes get too heavy. • Be sure to label every box with its contents and the room it should go to in your new home. • Load the truck!
PRO TIP: If you have a busy schedule, hiring movers to pack for you can save a ton of time.
Pack a Bag and Hit the Road • Whether you’re moving across town or across the country, when you get there all of your stuff is going to be in boxes. • Make life easier for yourself by packing a separate overnight bag, so you can change or take a shower without having to open any boxes. • Then it’s time to drive to your new home!
Get Settled • Unpacking is a huge task, but it’s also an exciting opportunity to make your new house into a home.
• Take your time, unpack room-by-room, have fun with decorating and get settled into your new home sweet home.
