Save time when moving to a new home

April 11, 2012 - Homeowners and renters who allow themselves more time for moving into their new home will often have a less stressful time settling in, but there are some ways to save time while still having a successful move.

Before relocating to the new home, it is important to complete a change of address form with the post office to avoid losing bills or falling behind on monthly payments. It may also be helpful to contact local utility servicers to either disconnect or transfer their services to the new location before the move-in date approaches.

Planning a moving schedule is crucial, especially for those trying to save time on their move. This should include a checklist of tasks to complete leading up to the big move that should be marked off once finished.

Purging items before packing can help reduce the amount of unnecessary items transferred into the new home. This can also help cut down the number of moving boxes that will be needed and save time by eliminating the need for additional movers. Homeowners and renters who give themselves additional time for moving can even organize a yard sale to help cover other expenses that come with their new home.
