II HOME OWNERSHIP TIPS II Get prepared before the move.
📦 Create a moving checklist. Write down all the things you need to complete before and after the move. This way nothing gets overlooked and nothing falls through the cracks.
📦 Change your address: Update your mailing address with USPS, along with all your banks, credit cards, and subscription services to make sure you keep receiving your important mail at your new home.
📦 Start packing early. Begin packing at least 30 days before your moving date. Start with things you use the least and declutter by getting rid of items you no longer need.
📦 Set up utilities. Contact electric, water, and internet companies to make sure everything is set up before you move in.
A little prep before the big day can save you a lot of stress later!
