About HomePros Moving Services

Your first move can be such an exciting experience; but without the right guidance, it can quickly become overwhelming.

It’s normal to encounter a whirlwind of emotions during your first move, from excitement for the new adventure to dreading the actual moving process. While it can be easy to find yourself drowning in moving mayhem, there are a few ways you can prepare for moving day while keeping your stress level at an all-time low.

Here are five ways to navigate your first move with ease:

1. Create a Game Plan: Before beginning your move, create a game plan to ensure the process goes problem-free. Write out a list of everything you need to do prior to moving, and tackle it beginning with the time-sensitive tasks first. Your game plan can include anything from what days you’ll spend packing to setting up your utilities at your new home to making sure you reserve the best moving trucks for your journey.
2. Plan Ahead: The last thing you want is to spend the first few nights in your home without power or water. Plan ahead by taking note of all the utilities you’ll need when you arrive and schedule out a time a few weeks in advance for everything to be up and running by your first night. During this time, it is also important that you call your current utility providers to ensure everything will be turned off in your current home after you’ve moved.
3. Update Your Info: When moving to a new home, it’s absolutely crucial that you update your address at the necessary places. This may include your bank, work, post office, insurance provider, and even your retirement or social security fund.
4. Take Some Time To Declutter: Before a big move is the perfect time to decide what will be going with you to the new house and what will be sold or donated. If you are short on time to move but really don’t want your home filled with stuff you may not keep, consider renting a storage unit to help keep your belongings safe until you have time to decide.
5. Hire Movers: Life gets busy quickly, especially during a move. To skip the headache, consider hiring a trusted moving company to ensure your valuables are kept safe and your move goes as smoothly as possible.
