Step 4: Moving Day
It can be a hectic 24 hours, but there are some things you can do to make it easier.
- Have tools handy for breaking down beds and appliances.
- Move valuables (jewelry, legal documents, family photos & collections) yourself - don't send them with the moving company. Make sure you have a complete Home Inventory of all your possessions.
- If you are using a professional mover, check the inventory list and make sure you agree with the condition of items. Get a copy of the list for your records.
- Give every room a final once over. Don't forget to check the basement, yards, attic, garage and closets.
- Turn off the water heater and lower the thermostat.
- Get the name of the driver and give him your contact information. Also review directions to the new.
- Have the final payment for the movers and money for a tip (if satisfied with the job, about $20/mover is recommended.)
