Buying Or Selling A Home? Here's A Moving Check List To Help When Things Get Hard

By Arren Brisingr


Moving could be a really stress full time. There are such a lot of details that may be over looked or accidentally forgotten. Between signing papers, taking care of the youngsters and pets, and recollecting the down-payment it can all be really overpowering. Hopefully this "to-do" list that I give to my clients when selling Arlington VA real estate will help make your move much , much smoother.

1. Decide what you need to move and what you now don't need. This is a great opportunity to de-clutter and shed any unwelcome things. If at all possible, plan a garage sale, or give undesired items to your favourite charity.

2. Get guesses from different moving or wagon rental facilities, depending on how you intend to move (if you are moving out of the town), to get the best rate. Moving companies can have quite a waiting list so be sure you contact them as fast as you know you are moving.

3. Make all travel plans if necessary. Make lodging reservations ahead to avoid any unwanted stress.

4. Transfer your bank accounts if required.

5. Request all of you records from dentists and doctors if moving to a new city.

6. Get your children's records fro college to make the to their new college easier.

7. Pay existing bills. Do not forget to close local charge accounts.

8. Label boxes obviously. When you're finally in your brand new home this could make finding things way easier.

9. Have a plan of where and how you need your furniture prepared to avoid confusion once you start emptying. This will help with the unpacking confusion if everything is in the room you want it be.

10. Cancel or transfer deliveries, paper, etc. Coordinate the transfer of gas, electric, water, and sewer to the following occupant of your home. Your real estate agent should be in a position to give you a list of telephone numbers and websites to make this simpler for you.

11. Remember personal products that could be at the photo shop, bank safety box, a neighbor's house, on lay-away, or in the repair center.

12. Keep the yellow pages from your former town of residence. This is useful for tying up loose ends and future correspondence.

13. Transfer all insurance policies and prepare for any new insurance policies that are needed.

14. Gather all valuables, important papers (deeds, birth certificates, for example.),and jewelry to take personally with you. It is better for you to be in command of these things so there is less chance of any loss, damage, or theft.

15. Ask for pro referrals if available (doctor, accountant, etc.) It can be tough to understand who to use when you are in a new area. Ask pals, family, and your real estate agent who they might recommend.

16. Change these addresses: charge accounts, post office, relations, subscriptions, and friends, church, and past employer to get your W-2 form.
