Pack & Hire Movers

Call now to get moving estimates and secure a mover as they often get booked up weeks in advance.  Also, if you’re moving into a condo building, check with your HOA to see if you need to pay any move-in fees, reserve an elevator, or if there are move-in restrictions, etc.

Remember that you can’t move into your new place until closing is finished as that is when you’re given the keys.  Allow 1-2 hours for closing, although we’ll hope to be done sooner than that.  For instance, if your closing starts at 9am expect you might not be done until 10am then allow time to get to your new place before the movers arrive.  Usually we don’t know the exact time/location of closing until a few days before closing.

Once you choose a mover, we highly recommend asking them to bring wardrobe boxes with them for all of your hanging clothes. That way you don’t have to take everything off the hangers and pack the items up. Instead, the movers will simply grab everything in your closets that is hanging, put them on the rods in the boxes and then when you get to your new home you can just grab the hangers and hang the items back up. Saves a ton of time.

Moving Supplies

Start gathering boxes and packing supplies.  Often you can find free boxes on CraigsList or Facebook Marketplace. Otherwise, Uhaul, Uline, Lowes and Usedcardboardboxes are all great places to get moving supplies.

Pets

Moving can be incredibly stressful on pets so consider having them stay with a friend or in daycare for a few days while you move and get settled into your new place.
