Moving Tips
Step 2: Get In Touch
When you move there are many people you need to contact. Here is the essential call list.
• Interview and hire a reputable mover or rent a moving truck. Be sure to check with the Better Business Bureau, get estimates, purchase moving insurance and get referrals or references.
• Two weeks before moving day, contact your telephone, electric, gas, cable/satellite, refuse and water companies to set a specific date when service will be discontinued. Verify this date with your real estate professional as well.
• Contact utilities in your new town and let them know when to start services. Do the same for Internet and long distance telephone service.
• Notify health care professionals (doctors, dentists, veterinarians) of your impending move and ask for referrals and for the transfer of records.
• Register children for school and ask for school records to be transferred.
• Tell lawn service, cleaning and security companies when service should be terminated.
