Moving Tips
Step 4: Moving Day
It can be a hectic 24 hours, but there are some things you can do to make it easier.
• Have wrenches and other tools handy for breaking down beds and appliances.
• Move valuables (jewelry, legal documents, family photos, records and collections) yourself - do not send with a moving company.
• If you are using a professional mover, check the inventory list and make sure you agree with the condition of items. Get a copy of the list for your records.
• Load trucks or supervise the moving company. Give every room a final once over. Don’t forget to check the basement, yards, attic, garage and closets.

Moving Tips
Step 4: Moving Day (continued…)
• Turn off the water heater and lower the thermostat.
• Get the name of the driver and give him your contact information. Also review directions to the new house and the related floor plan.
• Be sure you have the final payment for the movers and money for a tip (if you are satisfied with the job, about $20 per mover is recommended.)
