There is so much to do when buying a home, don't forget the details!

SOME THINGS TO REMEMBER WHEN MOVING INTO YOUR NEW HOME

CHANGE THE LOCKS

You don't know the whereabouts of past tenants' keys.

 

UPDATE YOUR ADDRESS

For voter registration, drivers license, tax forms, bank accounts, etc.

 

FORWARD YOUR MAIL

Complete a change of address form either online or at the Post Office.

 

DE-CLUTTER

Don't move what you don't need - donate, discard or sell.

 

SET UP UTILITIES

Contact gas, electric, water and cable companies well ahead of your move.

 

PHOTOGRAPH ELECTRONICS

You'll know exactly how to set up your computer, TV and stereo in your new home.

 

LABEL OR COLOR-CODE SEALED BOXES

You'd be surprised how quickly unpacking can get confusing.

 

CLEAN

It's much easier to break out the mop and bucket when your space is empty.

 

RELAX AND ENJOY

Moving shouldn't be completely stressful - take a deep breath and smile once in a while
