Moving Tips - White Lake Real Estate


Congratulations....You have sold your home. All the hard work of getting your home ready for sale , saving the deal, and negotiating the home inspection has paid off.  Now it is time to plan to move.  Here are 10 tips to make your move easy.  
 
  1. You can go online and put in your address..  Give your forwarding address to the post office, usually a week or two to ahead of the move.
  2. Notify your brokerage accounts, mutual fund companies, credit card companies, magazine subscriptions, work, and bank of the change of address a week a head.
  3. Send out a moving announcement to friends, family, or other important people in your life.  Include your new address and phone number.
  4. Arrange to have utilities disconnected at your old home on your move out date and connected at your new one on the move in date.
  5. Cancel the your INTERNET service, cable tv, and the newspaper.
  6. Check insurance coverage for moved items. Usually movers only cover what they pack.
  7. Start using up food in your refrigerator and freezer.  No sense packing food.  Eat it up in the month a head of time.
  8. Note the weight of the goods you'll have moved, since long-distance moves are usually billed according to weight. Watch for movers that use excessive padding to add weight.
  9. Pack your valuables, or can't live without fragile items and take them with you instead of having the movers move them. .
  10. This is the most important tip.  Take any important papers, jewelry, and any paperwork that you will need the first week.  Have a "must take with us" box with the things you'll need most-toilet paper, soap, trash bags, scissors, hammer, screwdriver, pencils and paper, cups and plates, water, snacks, and toothpaste.  Anything that you might need in the first day or two take with you.  Do not trust the movers.  It may not be there when you need it.

No matter if it is a Clarkston home or a piece of White Lake real estate I hope these moving tips make your move a little easier.
