Set a Budget

Before you jump into planning and prepping, start but setting a budget. This will help you determine what kind of moving service you can afford. There are a variety of options when it comes to moving from full-service relocations to D.I.Y. moving options. A budget will help you set some parameters to identify the best option for you.

Book Your Moving Date in Advance!

We can’t stress enough how important it is to book your summer moving date in advance. Especially if you are moving in the Summer. Peak season falls between April and September so, if your moving date isn’t flexible, make sure to book your date in advance to avoid scheduling conflicts and potential black out dates.

Make a Checklist

Once you have secured a budget and your moving date, look into creating a checklist. A checklist will help you double-check what you’ve already done and help map out what still needs to be done. Some things to consider when making your checklist can include:

• Turn off/ Transfer utilities 
• Turn off/ Transfer WiFi
• Forward mail to new address
