Moving Day!

Move out day and Move in day

• "Work" with the movers and be on hand when the movers arrive. If you are not able to be present while the movers are there, designate a friend or family member to help out and make decisions in your absence. Let the movers know to whom you have given the authority.

• Hand over keys, alarm codes and garage door remote controls to the new owner or real estate agent.

• Clean your house as much as you can before the movers arrives. Search every room, closet and around the house before the movers arrives.

• Review your floor plan so you can tell the movers where to place your furniture and appliances. Make yourself available for the movers for instructions on where to place your furniture while unloading. Stay there in case there are any questions. 

• If you cannot be at your home while the truck is being unloaded be sure to authorize a representative to accept delivery and pay the charges for you. Inform the destination agent of your representative’s name.

• Get a baby sitter for your kids during the loading and unloading process.

• Put your pets in a room where they will not be in the way of the loading and unloading process.

• Do not use your stereos, computers, televisions, other electronic devices and appliances for 24 hours after delivery to prevent possible damage. Allow them to adjust to room temperature.

• Verify that all utilities have been disconnected in your old home and connected in your new home. Have your phone connected a day before move-in day.
