I understand moving is a lot of work, so here's a helpful check list for moving day to make your life easier.

Send Change of Address to: • Post office: give forwarding address. • Credit card companies. • Magazine/newspaper subscriptions. • Friends and family. • Doctors • It's always a good idea to leave several large, pre-addressed, stamped envelopes with the new owners for mail that is still delivered to your previous address.

Relocation Check List: • Go to the DMV and get a new Driver's License and State ID • Cancel subscriptions that would not be forwarded. • Contact your bank and get new checks with the new home address. • Close accounts for all utilities and services at your old address as of date of closing. • Be sure the new owner has assumed responsibility of utilities as of closing date so there is no lapse or turning off of service. • Arrange for utilities: Water, electricity, gas, cable, internet, and telephone service at your new location. • Empty freezer and refrigerator. • Defrost and clean refrigerator and freezer. • Check insurance coverage and labor costs; confirm moving day, and payment costs and method with your mover. • Transfer your child's school records if changing schools.

Packing Guidelines: • Once you are reasonably sure you will be proceeding with the sale, begin weeding out your possessions. • Pack one room at a time, and be sure to label all boxes. • Keep the weight of your boxes reasonable. • Start packing and marking every box according to its contents and the room it will go in. • If bubble wrap is not available, use towels and blankets to wrap fragile items. • If possible, pack audio-video and computer equipment in their original boxes.

On Moving Day: • Plan for needs of children and pets during the move • Plan for sufficient cash/travelers checks during the move. • Do not pack valuables, carry them with you. • Be sure to leave all of the following for new tenant or homeowner:  1. Keys, padlock combinations, garage door openers, remote switches.  2. Codes to security system.  3. Owner's manuals for all appliances.
