Step 1: Get Organized
It all starts with planning and organizing. Like any big project, you need to plan the work and then work the plan.
- Purchase a special notebook to record information about your move. Also print out our detailed Moving Checklist to help organize your move.
- Purchase moving supplies: tape, markers, scissors, pocketknife, newspaper, blankets, moving pads, plastic storage bins, rope and a hand truck. Free boxes can usually be obtained at a local supermarket, but consider purchasing wardrobe boxes for moving clothes.
- Have a garage sale to clear out unwanted items and plan accordingly. Consider donating unwanted items.
- Keep a detailed record of all moving expenses. Your costs may be tax deductible depending on the reasons for your move.
- Create a floor plan of the new house for reference during packing and on moving day. The CENTURY 21® Home Planner can help.
- Make back-ups of computer files and determine how you will move this delicate equipment.
