Post Move Checklist:

• Fill out a post-move review for your moving company. This allows us to see where we are excelling and address any issues that may need improvement.
• Check all delivered boxes and furniture for any damaged or missing items.  If there appears to be an issue, contact your moving coordinator as soon as possible.
• Clean and inspect your home for any damages caused by the move or pre-existing problems that might have been missed in earlier inspections.
• Ensure that your utilities and major appliances are up and running properly
• Begin unpacking in an organized manner by unloading the most important items first. Make sure to recycle any leftover packing materials or see if your mover will take back boxes.
• Secure your home and deter theft of your items through a security system and proper door locks.
• Make sure that you have registered your vehicle (for interstate moves), changed your address with the postal service and vital services, and found new healthcare providers and schools.
• Take time to truly settle in and greet your new neighbors. You never know when you’ll have to ask them for an emergency ingredient for a recipe!
• Take a deep breath and enjoy your new abode! You’ve survived one of the most stressful experiences in life so sit back and relax for a bit!
