Step 2: Get In Touch
When you move there are many people you need to contact. Make sure to check with your local CENTURY 21® Real Estate Professional - he or she may be able to provide referrals through the CENTURY 21® ConnectionsSM program.
Here is the essential call list:
- Hire a reputable mover or rent a moving truck. Be sure to check with the Better Business Bureau, get estimates, purchase moving insurance and get referrals or references.
- Two weeks before moving day, contact your telephone, electric, gas, cable/satellite, refuse and water companies to set a specific date when service will be discontinued. Verify this date with your real estate professional as well.
- Contact utilities in your new town about service start dates, including Internet & long distance telephone services.
- Notify healthcare professionals (doctors, dentists, veterinarians) of your move and ask for referrals and record transfers.
- Register children for school and ask for school records to be transferred.
- Notify lawn service, cleaning and security companies when service should be terminated.
- Tell clubs, churches and organizations of your move. And if applicable, see if membership fees can be partially refunded.
- Advise the post office, publications and correspondents of change of address and date of move.
- Check your homeowner's insurance and make arrangements for new coverage.
- If you are moving to a new state, see if you will need new car insurance.
- Pick up items from your dry cleaners.
