Moving to a new home is exciting, but it can also be stressful without proper planning. At MoveSmart Consultants, we believe that organization is key to a hassle-free move. That’s why we’ve created this ultimate moving checklist to help you stay on track from start to finish!

4-6 Weeks Before Moving: Plan & Prepare

✅ Create a moving folder to keep important documents and receipts ✅ Book your professional movers (MoveSmart Consultants!) ✅ Declutter your home and donate or sell items you don’t need ✅ Start gathering packing supplies (boxes, tape, bubble wrap, labels) ✅ Notify your landlord (if renting) and schedule lease termination or home sale ✅ Research and transfer school records if moving to a new district

2-3 Weeks Before Moving: Start Packing

✅ Begin packing non-essential items (seasonal clothes, decorations, books) ✅ Label all boxes clearly by room and contents ✅ Set aside valuables, important documents, and essentials to keep with you ✅ Schedule utility transfers (electricity, water, gas, internet, cable) ✅ Arrange time off from work for moving day if needed ✅ Notify postal services, banks, and subscriptions of your address change


1 Week Before Moving: Final Preparations

✅ Pack a “first-night” essentials box with toiletries, clothes, snacks, and chargers ✅ Defrost and clean your refrigerator/freezer ✅ Confirm moving details with MoveSmart Consultants ✅ Disassemble furniture and label hardware for easy reassembly ✅ Dispose of hazardous materials (paint, cleaning supplies, propane) ✅ Ensure home repairs and cleaning are complete for the next occupant


Moving Day: Stay Organized & Stress-Free

✅ Wake up early and do a final walkthrough ✅ Keep important documents and valuables with you ✅ Direct movers and ensure boxes go to the right rooms ✅ Take photos of your old home for records ✅ Perform a final check to ensure nothing is left behind ✅ Lock up and hand over the keys


Welcome Home! Unpack & Settle In

✅ Unpack essentials first (kitchen, bathroom, bedroom) ✅ Inspect furniture and boxes for any damages ✅ Set up your utilities and internet ✅ Meet your new neighbors and explore your area ✅ Relax and enjoy your new home!
