 Hey buyers and sellers, you're getting prepared to move, which is a very exciting and stressful time in your life. There are five things that I want you to take into consideration that you're going to need to do prior to moving. Step number one, call all the utility companies and set up the new start date for your new address on the day of the closing. You want to make sure you call the water, trash, sewer, gas, anything that you can think of that is going to be bill related. Number two, you want to call your doctor, magazines, cell phone bills, you want to call Aunt Mary, let them all know that you got a new address so everybody knows where to mail you your birthday cards. So you want to make sure that you get that updated as well. Number three, so you're planning on moving. You need to let all of your friends and relatives know way in advance that you need help to move. We all do it. You're going to have to reach out to them, plan on ordering pizza and getting a case of beer because moving isn't fun for anybody, but you want to make sure that you give all your friends and family ample time to put you on their schedule to move you into your new home. You also will probably need to rent and secure a moving truck. So don't forget that important step. And number four, make sure that you check all the little nooks and crannies when you're moving, whether you're moving from apartment to a new house or from your old house to a new house. You don't want to leave that bag of cash up into the attic. You want to make sure that you look in all the places that you might have hid something or left something behind. So number four, check all those nooks and crannies before you leave. Number five, when you're packing up, you want to make sure that you keep all of your important documents together in a box and keep it separate from all the other items that you're going to move. You never know when you're going to need them. Things that are important that I'm talking about are like tax documents, you know, maybe your school diploma, something you don't want to lose important banking information, your passport, things like that, birth certificates, and social security cards. You want to make sure that those things are always moved with you personally in your car, not packed in a moving truck where it can get lost.
